  1. According to DL poster, Scowl plays their Dogtooth stage on Friday 😉
  2. New international names just dropped: AVIVA / Beth McCarthy / Black Box Revelation / Brutalismus 3000 / Delilah Bon / DONOTS / Dying Wish / High Fade / Chinchilla / James And The Cold Gun / Kerry King / Lazy Habits / MAZ Universe / Noahfinnce / Of Mice & Men / Picture Parlor / Sanguisugabogg / Scowl / Shame / The Darkness / The Lathums / The Struts / Thumper The lineup is 95% done.
  3. Crosses are also at RaR/RiP 2 weeks earlier
  4. Afaik, VW got billed as EU exclusive at Prima announcement
  5. I see your point but I would argue it's not about Providence as they have number of amazing festivals in their portfolio, such as Wacken, Oya, Sonar, Flow, etc. We need more competition for LN to keep festival industry thriving. Just my 2c...
  6. I have stayed in the different type of glamping tent but tent hotels were pitched right next to us and they looked like a normal 2 person size tent, something like this one: https://www.decathlon.com/products/2-second-easy-camping-tent-2-person-331494?adept-product=2-second-easy-camping-tent-2-person-331494&variant=39386576224318&adept_product_id=2-second-easy-camping-tent-2-person-331494&source=search You can see find photos here: https://rockforpeople.cz/en/zazitky/rfp-tent-hotel/
  7. What's the daily / weekend tickets ratio at Rock Werchter? I am curious given our discussion which day will sell out. I know that for some festivals (e.g. NOS Alive) daily tickets are big deal but I always considered Werchter to be much more about full festival tickets, perhaps I am wrong?
  8. Let's hope not. His tour was scheduled for Feb, so it gives us some hope...
  9. I don't expect any further names to be announced as headliners based on the wording. Having said that, I guess it will be interesting to see the day split as some days may be quite stacked. It usually comes on last day of calendar so we'll see soon
  10. Well, the point is logistics and I wouldn't be surprised if Sum 41 are the ones flying 😉 Don't get me wrong, the names you listed would be fantastic for me personally (well, except Babymetal but that's another story :-), I am just managing expectations as many people have huge ones towards RfP. They managed to overdeliver 22 & 23, let's see how the next year will turn out fro them. I am honestly not that sceptical as subs are great for me and many of smaller ones are amazing. I believe they will bring a few more exciting names in the future.
  11. Got it. Unfortunately, what looks possible on a paper doesn't work in reality. E.g. getting from the UK or Scandinavia to central Europe (RfP/NR) requires flying, so you need 1 day gap in the tour schedule if the band travels in tour bus, which is basically everyone except huge headliners who will fly in, but that requires at least double production setup (one is being built while the other one travels). Babymetal have Greenfield - Download - Nova, so they are out based on logistics. Turnstile are in Sweden on Fri, so technically possible on Wed, but I doubt it. I expect them to book more gigs in Scandinavia instead. Polyphia - they have DL only, so technically a possibility if they are open to travel to mainland Europe. Mudvayne - they play RaR/RiP/NR, so it's a posibility. The Used - they have Download only so far, no indication of them coming over to mainland Europe. If they start their tour at DL, I would say there's a slim chance they will appear here because of logistics. Deftones - I believe they are exclusive to Primavera the bloody Avenged Sevenfold - they can make it logistically, though I am not convinced they make sense for RfP. Let's face it, they are a niche act in Czechia and the last album didn't help a bit. I like them but I would be hugely surprised if they are our missing head. So, from your list, only Polyphia and Mudvayne are possibility imho. They still might appear in the next announcement, let's see
  12. Size of acts is quite subjective. If you use ticket sales, PWD are the smallest as they played 4k cap. Yungblud sold 2x 3cap shows in the row, Avril sold out ±8k in Prague (although it was a covid show postponed for 2 yrs, so hard to measure). Based on tix sales only, Yungblud is capable of headlining. It just puzzles me that people are complaining regarding headliner slot instead of enjoying the fact they have much more headline sized bands. Nevermind 😉
  13. Available? Seems you know some insider info, spill the beans... 😉
  14. QOTSA anytime, but please please let's avoid KOL 😉
  15. It's very nice festival, neatly organized. The only potential watchout is the fact that Pohoda is very family oriented festival, with lots of talks, debates, etc. Some might call the vibe boring. I guess it will be interesting to see how this will play out with this lineup which is best in ages for my tastes
  16. Sum 41 apparently sold 40k tickets in Paris at La Defense Arena
  17. I guess some will appear later. Deftones are exclusive to Primavera afaik, Beartooth to Rar/Rip, Turnstile start at Hu/So weekend so I am not sure thay are around. Bad Omens have a show in Prague in Feb, perhaps that's the reason to hold them back? Polyphia and Frank Carter are great shouts, let's hope they are announced
  18. You're right, it's all about logistics and availability. Last year June was great, July was terrible, August so, so. 2024 is apparently the other way round.
  19. This year is weak on headliner side everywhere, but especially for rock festivals. All have repeats, some even from previous year. My worry is that this will become a standard for the future, with bands wanting to play less shows but for higher fees...
  20. Last albums: Avril 2022, The Offspring 2021, Sum 41 Q1'2024 😉 I guess The Prodigy are a good shout, let's see. PJ would be awesome, but I am not sure they will tour at all. Everyone was expecting them at Werchter and I think this ship has sailed with their last announcement...
  21. Honestly, I am not complaining. There's actually not that many repeats, it's just Sum, Enter Shikari and Hot Milk from '22, all three are great live and Sum 41 returning is completely justified as this is their last tour. I think headliners are complicated this year for RfP, not sure what went wrong but I don't see many possible names flying around. Perhaps we had too high expectations? - for 2024 we have BMTH and The Offspring, subbed by Avril, PWD, Pendulum, Corey, Enter Shikari and Sum 41 (or perhaps they are headliner?) so far, with 20+ names and 2 headliners to go - in 2023 we had: Muse, Slipknot, The 1975, MGK, subbed by Architects, Simple Plan, Billy Talent, Hollywood Undead, Papa Roach and Nothing but Thieves - 2022: Green Day, FOB, Biffy Clyro, Royal Blood, subbed by Weezer, Wolf Alice, Idles, Skillet, Dope D.O.D. and Sum 41. I get that headliners are not on par with '23 set but subs are the strongest imho. I am curious what will be announced over next few weeks.
  22. Well, you've summed it up - NR has BMTH, Jane's Addiction, Avril, Alice, Sum 41 and few others, while RaR/RiP has just QOTSA and Billy Talent from top 2 lines. I will go to RaR/RiP as usual but from my POV, Nova Rock has subjectively a stronger lineup. Anyway, re RFP, I don't think we get Maneskin as I agree they would be announced already. A7X just don't make sense as they simply don't have a strong appeal in CZ (as mentioned, last time they played they struggled to attract 4k ppl) and they are quite expensive. I wouldn't mind them but I can't see it happening. Who the remaining 2 heads are is anybody's guess now...
  23. Well, I guess the supply is quite weak for first part of June. I would say unusually weak. RaR/RiP and Download are prime examples. Novarock won a jackpot bringing all strong names together but some repeats are crazy... As much I would love RfP to surprise us I wouldn't hold my breath. I am hoping for some interesting undercard and fresh small names, headliners are a bonus for me.
  24. + Against the Current + Hannabie. Announced via calendar over the weekend.
