Would arcade fire play Spain in both July and September? My thought was tool, but they don't seem like an act Mad Cool would book...

I imagine that if they could announce than they would, but if there's an embargo in place then they may as well drum up some interest, which is working??

The Friday is still to be announced. From Facebook it's Slipknot Thurs, 1975 Sat, and Muse Sunday.

With Primavera announcing on Tuesday, are we thinking announcement back end of next week?

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Usually their social media campaigns pay off..... Other than the strokes/MCR disaster from 2020!

BMTH?

Today's teaser confirmed the dates as 6 to 8 July...

I'm sure their 2019 day sold poorly, I think it more came down to too many repeat bookings and people weren't happy greta van fleet got shoehorned in as a sub.

I'm a big biffy fan, but think architects playing was more to sell tickets. Noticeably smaller arena tour and I don't think all the dates sold out.

Which year did you go? We're looking at it for next year and heard mixed reports from early years, but then they listened to the feedback and it improved greatly?

My mistake, he played the 2022 edition, so no dates. I would still expect him to tour with the new album out.

Liam Gallagher must be likely, announced for a festival in France over the mad cool weekend.

June 2022, about a fortnight before the gig. I understand Glastonbury'position as a non profit event, however when bands are literally doubling their prices from their previous tours (Blink 182, for example), then I'm going to argue greed is the dominant factor, not inflation.

Just checked my purchase history. Green day (Huddersfield gig) was £82.50, £7.50 booking fee and a couple of quid transaction fee for the total order. The difference between that, and recent pricing... £150 for Blur, £100 for Blink 182, £90 for Paramore is killing my love of seeing big bands live. The whole thing is utter greed sadly.

Is Derby viable for a hotel? I've been to download but years back so can't remember where we stayed!

Not sure where the MGK rumour came from? Do we know where the Placebo rumour came from?

I saw them on the TBHC tour and it was weird then that they were playing more tracks from AM than the newest release. I consider AM their best album.... but it's just odd to be releasing an album and touring another.

Is there anything behind the pulp rumours, other than they are announcing Friday?

I was lucky enough to see them a lot around the debut, and got late tickets to the UK tour from 2018. They have become a completely different band but the show was fantastic (provided you can accept that the first album has been ditched for all but dance floor). That being said, the crowd were loving the AM material, any song from TBHC people were heading off for the bars....I'm in the minority though, would happily see them again!

From memory last year was a one off, because of no events in 2020 or 2021.

I've just accepted that for 90% of gigs it will be trying to find a cheapie. The pricing is beyond unreasonable at this point.

The killers and Placebo played both mad cool and bbk this year, imagine the band will be calling the shots. Also, isn't the capacity of bbk on the smaller side of things compared to mad cool?

This was in a nutshell the TBHC tour, new songs came on, exodus to the bar. Not complaining, I thought it was a great album. Currently listening to the new one, enjoying it...but the thought of this being played in a stadium of smashed lads is.....interesting.

I don't know about Graspop, but have heard there's substance to Def Leppard/ Motley Crue touring in Europe around that time.

Tom's divorce won't pay for itself. Really disgusted with these prices and front and rear standing.
