What do they have in common then, lad? The fact both their most recent outputs have Black Lives Matter sentiments? They're completely different genres 

I wouldn't have even known that. Different genre's yes but still heavily going to be followed by similar fan bases. They would both heavily fit in with Wireless for example as they have booked along those lines. There is a heavy crossover in the likes of Beyonce, Drake, Kanye etc etc and yes they are all black but that's not racist, the majority of Rap, Hip Hop and R&B acts are.

Surely this makes them ideal to both headline the same festival?

The same festival that caters to almost purely that yes but it's not a USA version of Wireless or something.

thankfully i suppose this means it won't be ready in time for their festival shows - i want a strictly greatest hits/minimal Sonic Highways + the awful covers section that came with it show

I think I read at least one of their other festivals slots being plugged as a greatest hits set.

That's what I thought as well upon knowing it was them 3.

You know fine well I wasn't agreeing with you.

If you've been Coachella and think it's basically Wireless you are crazy haha. I've been too!

AC/DC, Jack White, Muse, AF, Radiohead and that's only touching some headliners.

sA few years ago, maybe many years? I wouldn't have minded going to Coachella. This year's lineup is piss poor to be fair. I guess that's to be expected, they had a choice between Clinton & Trump. Maybe the musical choice was equally as bad..

I'm a big Foos fan but have to agree that covers section of their set needs to go!!!

 

[henry bear]

I wonder who Dave will wheel out (if anyone) as a 'surprise guest' and claim they're from 'the best band ever', the way he did with May/Taylor, Page/Jones etc.

[Madyaker]

I doubt they'll wheel out anyone to be honest but page would be cool. I still will be elsewhere though.

It's not awkward at all, I do know about this gig but I also know it was 10 years ago! I'd have been all over the Kaisers day back then though.

It was a good show. (White Stripes and QotSA, I didn't go for the Kaiser Chiefs day)

I'm unsure quite why I missed it although it was only my 2nd festival year, you were doing well then said QOTSA although I guess you'd have got the few worth seeing in a shorter set.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Kaiser Chiefs are shite. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

That Kaiser Chiefs Sunday lineup is a real rogue's gallery.

To be honest I went for QotSA and stayed for White Stripes. It's OK to have a different opinion though as far as I'm concerned, so long as it's not expressed like it's a fact.

£40 to see Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem on the same Saturday. Even CSS and Klaxons were worth a watch back then.

More than entitled to like and see what you want. White Stripes to tour again would be a must get.

[DownboundTrain52]

Blimey, that's a throwback of a bill. I was but a mere scrapper then, years away from my first gig.
