The new hint screams Arcade Fire, right?
The WE logo, Reflektor, Black Mirror.
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 think, looking at the comments, that people are getting a bit bored / frustrated of it all. More and more comments reflecting this each day.
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??

Any indication on which day The 1975 is playing? So which day is the remaining headline slot?
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 don‘t get the point of those clues if you don‘t give the resolution the day after. Or give a date when you plan to do so.
I remember 2017 when they gave coordinates of the artist’s founding place each day with the resolution and a new clue the day after. Now THAT was great. This year is dragging.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Usually their social media campaigns pay off..... Other than the strokes/MCR disaster from 2020!

Have Muse done something to upset RW? Were they supposed to be a co-head in 2019 and did a 2.5 hour set after someone pulled out or what?
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.

Couple of additions. Architects and Biffy at Bournemouth was superb.
Fair play to Sam for calling out that knob booing front left. Not cool. Biffy was superb as always, excellent stuff.
Architects is a very rarely seen huge support act. No idea why they done that? Due to the new album? Supporting Biffy in the bigger arenas than they headlined.
Phoenix in Brixton was also really good. Very cool atmosphere. Little top heavy (as always) in the setlist but a tremendous toe tap and dance. Well recommend.
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.

If you don't like to deal with overcrowding, ques at bars and toilets and nightmare to get home then BBK is the festival to go to. Its a great weekend away.
Madcool has great line ups but I just found it to be a logistical nightmare and wouldn't want to repeat.
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?

Got a link to this?
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.

You know inflation is a thing, right. It just happened with Glasto and theres going to be an entire 2023 of gigs experiencing it now. And when did you buy your ticket? 2019? Even if you bought it in 2022 it was still on the mostly safer side of all the financial crisis stuff. Greed is the Taylor Swift tour when you see what happens to the prices tomorrow. This, is not that.
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.

Agree on fees, but it's difficult to compare the 'good pricing' of Green Day versus the 'corporate greed' of Blur when I can't tell how much a Green Day ticket actually cost once you got to payment.
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.

Just booked a hotel in Derby from 8-12th incase the lineup is mega. Not been since 2012 the last time Metallica played.
Is Derby viable for a hotel? I've been to download but years back so can't remember where we stayed!

Anyone think MGK is likely? Given the rumour for R&L he wasn’t mentioned
Not sure where the MGK rumour came from? Do we know where the Placebo rumour came from?

About a third of the setlist tends to be AM though. I understand it's their most successful album, but it's still a bit weird as it's almost 10 years old now and hugely overrated. From the older material they also tend to play mostly the slower stuff and the couple of stadium lifting bangers they do sprinkle in between the ballads fail to keep the audience engaged.
That's my opinion obviously and surely there's people who will disagree. I'm not the one to moan about how they have a different sound than 15 years ago (there's some great songs on tranq and the car), it's just their live shows that sadly lack a spark and fall short of the mark (sorry, had to). Especially because they certainly have more than enough material for a proper stadium set.
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.

Florence is a headliner
That Field Day would be class
Kooks were co-headlining with the wombats a few years back, don't think they still would be but not sure they'd sub either. They did community headline in 2019 too. I think a smaller, but also more Pulp-like support would be booked if they did do APE
Lytham thats meant to be - but TRNSMT and IOW also announcing and sisco reckons they are at IOW i think
Is there anything behind the pulp rumours, other than they are announcing Friday?

Seems like most people agree - i felt bad typing it but now i feel vindicated LOL
Luckily i saw them at Portsmouth Guildhall after they released the first album - that was a proper gig!!
Certainly better than when i saw them at Mad Cool a few years ago.
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!

It was 10 nights this year, 7k might have been for the full run, not this years fees?
From memory last year was a one off, because of no events in 2020 or 2021.

After the Blink 182 hike I was worried about the Paramore price, but it's about £20 more than what I paid on the last tour. The presale starting at the exact same time as Def Leppard's tho is annoying
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.

Arctic Monkeys are playing Bilbao BBK Live, wonder if it reduces their chances of being at Mad Cool 🧐
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?

Or as the casual punters and AM-crowd call it - the bar run.
But that could well work.
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.
Rock Werchter 2023
in overseas festivals
Posted
Rock Werchter I feel is at its best when they book the big rock acts to headline, but there is variety across the day. I vividly remember seeing Metallica and Nine Inch Nails, with the undercard being Kaiser Chiefs, Black Eyed Peas and The Mars Volta.
The variety is what makes it, more than often they hit their mark.
