Inmusic Festival 2018

[Nicklord]

Interpol were amazing last year when I saw them. It would be my gig of the year if I didn't see Nick Cave later  

Too bad it's not debut in full tour still cause there was an obvious gap in quality between those songs and newer ones

Wow, amazing. So good news for everyone, we all agree Interpol are good addition.

I agree with gregory, very weird they didn't define stage/position, i believe Interpol are not headliners but they could be kind of a backup. But is it possible they still don't have headliner booked? 

everest, i like your confidence there 

[gregory]

The Killers just announced for RW (not sure why they were announced so late), I for one would be happy if they were the final INmusic headliner, they're free on June 25/26/27/28 at the moment.

How about Lykke Li for the last spot?

Is she so big to headline? 

[Nicklord]

I don't think so but I'm going with pessimistic approach

[gregory]

Just for fun, here's last years international acts (plus Repetitor, 2nd stage headliner) next to this years confirmed acts so far (I tried to pair them with similar-ish genre/popularity in same position);

Think they just made their own poster (missing St V and PTM and inc SkunkA), and in the UK Interpol are more popular with the youth than NCATBS so they put them above, but who knows. 

Like @Fabrizzo said, "Three day festival tickets for INmusic #13 are avaialble at the official INmusic festival webshop for the price of 53 EUR (+ transaction fees) until March 30th 2018 at midnight, or until a new headliner announcement, or until sold out"

Ahh yeah okay, I angrily resent any local bands playing the main stage at a festival like this, especially one on each day, so I didn't see the False Heads at all   

Someone should send this to them anyway (though I pity this band for having to compete with the rain, but still)

Well this kinda kills 2 of my wishlist in 1, but not entirely - not impossible either could show up on the Mon or Wed, but unlikely

[gregory]

lol

 

[gregory]

I provoked them and they bit ...

 

[activean]

Hmm 6 big for main stage ? OK so let's assume Frank Carter doest count as big artist but they are gonna play same time as St. Vincent.

After Interpol announcement the situation is a bit confusing, are we sure St. Vincent was moved down to the "third slot" if she counts as big? Why did they gave so generic answer to that guy?

they didn't say nothing about headliners, i also think same as you that we are waiting for 1 more on each stage

Btw, previous years..when did they reveal running order ? 

 

 

[gregory]

Yes, the second they didn't say 'main stage' or 'headliner' in the news i suspected something fishy. we'll see.

also 'big names' thing is totally subjective, I couldn't give a shit about Alice in Chains, nor name a song, all I know is the lead singer during their height died. Someone else could say the same about St Vincent, while I love her. Certainly none of the acts this year have sold more thn 21,000,000 albums like KOL, nor have any of them outright headlined Reading/Leeds like Kasabian and Arcade Fire

Only MUSE fits next to that haha

A bit late but finally an announcement

[RandyFishcake]

Hi gang, first time on this thread - first time going to INMusic!

Would love NIN to be announced as headliner! However I agree it will be something more mainstream... QOTSA, Nick Cave, Alice in Chains and NIN share a lot of fans (me included)... but guessing they might want to expand the profile a bit. My guess (hope) would be LCD Soundsystem or maybe Justice?

Have we still got a 2nd stage headliner to come? If so would be amazing to see Future Islands too!

Thoughts?

Welcome!

Isn'n Bombino last World Stage Music headliner?

For sure we'd expect  3 acts for Hidden Stage.

No mention of him headlining, I guessed he'd be in the Orchestra Balbao slot from last year, but who knows. They always used to state the stage/if the act was a headliner, but since Interpol that has changed, not sure why they've started being coy... 

[alan_ts]

Interpol are in Italy on 26, so I assume they'll play Inmusic on 27.

No non-announcement posting allowed at 11am!! You got me excited ahaha.

And okay, so they could be the Wednesday headliner then...
