IHere is the first Reading and Leeds fest' announcement, end of August . I hope Sziget will give us something soon 😄 ( Queens of the stone age would be awesome 🤩 )
Strange enough, but R&L has a decent first wave for once in a while...
Would take Disclosure for EDM name and QOTSA for rock name. About the rest, it is almost nailed that we will get back Stormzy, Lewis Capaldi, 2DCC (leaked), Mabel and Fever 333.
I'd gladly add to the list 100 Gecs and Sofi Tukker among the smaller names.
Surely enough I'd be disappointed with Liam Gallagher headlining, or with a Post Malone comeback
-
Guesswork brought me here with this list:
- Billie Eilish
- Arcade Fire / Kings of Leon / Foo Fighters
- The Weeknd / Lady Gaga / Adele / Beyonce.
Honestly, at this point is a lottery for the few not-braindead enough to put The 1975 or Kasabian as headliners. Assuming that no insider sneaked the tickets.
Oh well, why not tho

No choice. If they didn’t want to, they had to cancel the contracts. And that costs a shitload of money. This is financially the best solution. Maybe some extra production costs, but the contract and fee stays the same. And they already paid the half of it.
17 hours ago, Matt86 said:I thought that in case of "force majeure" situation (which is the case here), they can get their money back from the artists... is that a false info ?
Anyway @Yelo, the Parmiggiana, it seems fair to me that different festivals try to get the same line up for next year don't you think ? I mean, it is also important for artists to get the money, times are hard for them too (not the biggest ones, but all the others)
P.S : Rise Against is a greeeat headliner don't you insult them !!!
Yeah yeah, it was not a serious comment, although the lineup looked rather dreadful and I guess that that is objective: I love Rise Against, but they are nowhere close to an headliner spot in 2020 (or 2021 for that matters)!
H/S always strikes me for the quality of undercards and how deep they are written in the cartel: I'm sure that it is a festival thought for germans, so the comments from an Italian are not to be taken seriously
11 hours ago, Ken19 said:It is just a lot easier to fulfill your commitments. Festival happy, agent happy, artist happy. You show that you are trustable and you stabilise your network. An agent represents multiple artists, so important to keep them happy and make a deal so everybody is pleased.
It works the other way round too. If a band cancels his show for a legit reason, 99% they got their money and come back as soon as possible to make it up. Happened with Badbadnotgood, sbtrkt, pearl jam in Werchter...Always a lot of sense in your comments, I'm glad you are back 100%, pal. A question, tho: where did SBTRKT go? I lost sight of him in 2015 after giving up his performance at Sziget and I regretted it ever since... You have any idea about that?

I just realized that it's the first time that I'm happy to have no festivals here in Italy: every Govern's statement only covers the next 2 weeks + they allowed event organizers to give "refunds" by vouchers. I have 2 tickets for a concert in Milan scheduled for May 19th and it's still not canceled (even if anyone knows that it will never take place). When it will happen, the only thing I can do will be to ask for a voucher to buy something else on the ticket seller website.
And luckily we're not talking about hundreds euros
Yeah, first time I invest heavily in concert tickets in Italy and now everything will be - best case scenario - delayed to 2021...

I understand they need people to keep their tickets for next year... But honestly, it is not a 35€ concert, its way more expensive, so "investing" 400€ (ticket + camoing for example) for so long is kinda hard... ! 😕 I recognise I will have to think about it...
Don't forget that it is likely that the entertainment and travel businesses will be deeply hit in the covid aftermath. What today costs 400, tomorrow may cost 600.
Of course I'm talking more about transportation and hotels and the like of it, rather than the raw price of a festival ticket - which reflects other kind of business model.
This being said, when you commit to such a decision you have to weight the tradeoff between
A- Getting back the money and having them, knowing that the re-buy of the ticket may take more money;
B- Losing the availability of the money for an average-run, saving the risk of an increased ticket, but also running the risk that for any reason Sziget 2021 (specifically) could not be a thing (another outbreak of covid, Orban deciding that he rather have the island as a private piss-house, potato patato).
Honestly, I'd go for A anytime, but that's just me. I mean, I cancelled a flight to Tokyo the 9th of March and I'm still waiting for the money back - so I guess I'm biased about.

Those saying summer 2021 should temper your expectations. If we don't have a vaccine before then then we're almost certainly going to be continuing social distancing to an extent and that includes not having enormous gatherings of people.
Bars and cafes are one thing. Festivals are another. 2021 is in absolutely no way a certainty right now. Yes, stay optimistic! But stay realistic too.
Why give over? He is right. Plus, half of the beloved small festivals will be dead and gone by the next year, after this catastrophe.
Things will change, it is good to hope for the best and to do your own little effort to make things improve, but you cannot believe that next year it will all be fine and dandy by default, shit has hit the fan and you cannot assume that we ran out of shit yet.

I’m sorry but this is a bit naive.
It doesn’t matter if it is “illegal” not to refund, if they have less money in the bank than the costs of refunding everyone, they will not be refunding everyone.
I think they will refund people but this is poor information.
Major festivals have insurance coverages for those kind of event. If they have not, the festival organization will most likely bankrupt - as simple as that.

Hey guys, I hope everyone's doing ok, these days are kinda weird and very stressful... take care !!!
About Sziget (which takes place in about 5 months so we should be good), can we expect the full line up before the end of the crisis ? Or will they wait ..? I have to say, good news from our favorite fests' would be great for our mental health ! 😅
I thought about this lately. I guess that, business- and marketing-wise, two are the roads they can take:
- Hold the line up til the crisis is solved, which means to risk that people stop buying stuff because the buzz dies on one hand, stopping to sign band's contracts they would have to repay in case the fest is cancelled. It would be ethical, preventive and extremely pessimist;
- Continue to release names, in the name of the good vibes, because people needs to dream potato patato blah blah blah.
Both the roads can be walk.
Honestly, five months is a long period and, if we are still looking after the epidemics by that time, festivals would be the last problem of ours. So I think that, so far, Sziget just has kept on its negotiation, has released the announcement it had scheduled from a decent time (the Colosseum) and it is waiting for the news about the infection before scheduling another name's release.
Hard to say if by the end of march / half april we should expect some release. My two cents goes on "No, we should not". In my opinion, if they closed all the major contracts (the two headliners, that is) and they work well to keep them, they will be better doing a full lineup release by may / june (not necessarily in one single batch), rather than releasing something big in this period: itwould not have the impact that they desire, as the sellings have decreased significantly for any festival in this period.

I think it would be strange if Droeloe and Camelphat both performed at the same stage, their music is so different.
Same goes for Stanton Warriors and What So Not... Suggestions are welcome!

Where has this been confirmed?
Actually, I made a mistake.
It is just my assumption but the A38's and Party Arena's nights so far are:
TBA - TBA | Elrow: Solardo - Claptone
Caribou - Tourist | Stanton Warriors - What So Not - Alison Wonderland - ATLiens
Jon Hopkins - TBA | Diplo
TBA - TBA | Troyboi
Kaytranada - Volac | NGHTMRE
Bob Moses - TBA | Bakermat - R3HAB - Sam Feldt
Jamie Jones B2B Joseph Capriati - Floating Points | Droeloe - Camelphat
More in detail:
- It sounds weird to me that Stanton Warriors, Camelphat and Troiboy are in Party Arena. This being said, Caribou-Tourist have a storyline that Im pretty sure will be followed, JJ B2B JC could be swapped in Party Arena in place of Camelpha;
- Bob Moses could also play in the later slot in A38 à la Jan Blomqvist in 2018.

It's just my theory: the Elrow stage will happen on the 1st day and it explains why Claptone and Solardo aren't on the Colosseum lineup.
Good assumption: as a matter of fact it has been already leaked that Elrow will take place the first day and Claptone will perform there.
On the other hand, we have Jon Hopkins + Floating Points and Jamie Jones B2B Capriati + Camelphat on the A38, and this is good!

Sorry to be that guy but... we aren’t under threat of cancellation because of Coronavirus, are we? Apparently the U.K. government is content to keep public summer events running, what’s the latest from Spain?
Too soon to talk. The epidemy might escalate even further, at that point I doubt any event will take place, honestly. On the other hand, I believe we are just victims of media terrorism to some extent, so there is no reason at the moment to be so pessimistic about the situation (and I'm talking as an Italian who lives in the biggest city of the most hit region)

Why?
Simply put, my experience in 2018 was mixed. And it was mixed and not awful exclusively due to the incredible lineup. Everything else was underwhelming: the problems at day 1 with hours in line under the sun with no-fucking-body coming to hand a bottle of water, the subsequent inability to pay with credit card the water once we got in (btw it was something like 2 € for 0,25 l of water), hence the incredible lines at the bars, the over-crowded area (which I reckon they have fixed), the lack of shade in the whole site except for the VIP areas (Madrid in July), the little to zero presence of bathrooms, the Massive Attack incident, the incredibly difficult come back home after each night because the transportation system was inefficient for the vast part of the city (and they communicated the solution adopted only like 2 weeks before), etc.
I could go on for a while, but I guess you got the idea.

Probably more than 200€
Roskilde 305 €
Sziget 299€
Glastonbury 315€
Werchter 243€
PS 205€
Nos 203€
MC 196€
BBK 163€
Roskilde and Sziget are a week-long, Glasto not even gonna gonna compare, Werchter you buy a well established product and same goes for PS.
Is Mad Cool "price-convenient"? Yes, as almost any festival, as for that cost you would end up seeing at best 2-3 headliner shows with all the hassle of going to big venues and stuff.
Does Mad Cool have a nice-shaped lineup? Yes, despite the fact that they literally shat on fans in the last months, they were far too ahead to lost this game.
Is Mad Cool a "good" festival? No, not even close, organization-price-marketing wise is a really stinky piece of shit.
Will I go to Mad Cool? Yes, but it probably won't be worth the money I will also spend on Sziget.

....but just to add a slight concern - hope they aren't shutting down all of the other stages for Mumford & Sons? Each to their own, but I've got no intention of watching them and would rather take a punt on someone else on a smaller stage.
They won't. It is likely this will happen with Taylor Swift, tho, as the lineup that day is missing in numbers
13 hours ago, bluenova said:They haven't in previous years - They are unlikely to be the last on, and there are likely to be 3/4 other stages running at once, and maybe 6-8 bands will overlap with part of their set.
They did something close to it with Pearl Jam in 2018 if I recall correctly
