They're in Europe a little too early for this unless they're staying around a full month and a bit.
-
Almost certainly won't be back at the farm without a new album in tow.
-
A little bit of a curveball but I wonder if New Order could be a possibility - they've two regional gigs scheduled a few days after (and almost certainly doing All Points East given the dates) and might fit in a sort of Kraftwerk placement way. They'd be the biggest band on the bill but did Blue Dot, same capacity as GM, a couple of years ago so aren't opposed to doing these mid sized festivals.
-
Right, but I think ultimately you're in the minority with this sort of thing. The Win thing barely made waves outside of online spaces - certainly most of my friends I know that aren't glued to online won't even know about it at all - so I think it'll probably be fine. I don't think they'd be getting booked at eg Malahide and Gunnersbury if promoters weren't confident in it.
-
Miley hates touring now and has pretty much said recently she's totally over it, so I wouldn't expect her performing in Europe any time in the next few years.
-
Their existing dates don't work for All Points East (unless they're planning to stay for over a month in Europe) and they're too small for BST, so I'm guessing probably Gunnersbury is the best fit. It'll sell decently - the vast majority of people who'd be into this show either don't know about the Will stuff or simply aren't bothered. Funeral's a top notch album and plenty will want to see it live.
-
They did a decent job putting this together given I suspect it's getting harder and harder for them being a) right at the end of the summer and b) not the same cashflow as Green Man. It's missing some more interesting mid table electronic or experimental stuff for me (in the vein of Actress/Oneohtrix/Forest Swords/Max Cooper/James Holden etc) but there's still lots I'd watch, and Idles/Bonnie Prince Billie will sell tickets to different demographics which they probably really need given the soft sales last year.
-
The Corrs have a weird London shaped hole in their touring for November, so presume they've got a summer exclusive somewhere like this.
-
Streaming is absolutely not the metric to gauge headliners for a niche nerdy festival like this because different demographics consume music in different ways and a band like Lankum are never going to have streaming friendly tracks. You should be looking at venue sizes and physical ticket sales to get rough estimates of the size we're working with (roughly bands who'd play Brixton Academy or Hammersmith Apollo - or in the case of Lankum well on their way to it), not streams.
-
I don't think so? Two regional dates over APE week and no London show feels a bit suss to me, and they're the right size for it.
-
I'm not really sure why people are still shocked that they're booking mid sized headliners. They've shown the past few years that it's actually part of their business model and not every act is going to be The Strokes size. As a festivalgoer I actually love the fact that acts like this, or Jungle, or whoever are getting a chance to headline – it's better for the festival landscape as a whole to be pushing different acts higher up and giving them a chance. Am I going to rush to buy tickets? No, probably not, but even if I pick up a cheap one nearer the time I'll be spending money on booze and food while I'm on site. They won't be losing money hand over fist, it's an experienced festival promoter.
-
It rarely does, and there are always tickets floating around in the weeks and months leading up to the festival even on sold out years. The Lana day will however almost certainly be a sellout based on her name alone (it's likely the reason they've implemented this fan presale thing) and that will also likely filter down into weekend ticket sales. If you don't get a ticket or can't afford it now you'll absolutely find one nearer the time, though.
-
You simply can't compare 2022 to 2023 though. It had a backlog of pent-up demand from festivalgoers who'd bought tickets over covid, had all the novelty and hype of the two weekend idea, had thousands of people with rolled over tickets from a previous edition, etc. It'll be more accurate to see how eg 2023/2024/2025 compare now the festival season has settled down a little.
-
Taylor's show is also designed specifically for stadiums and is produced the same night after nght. I don't see why, out of every single festival happening in the world across the next two years who'd want her, Primavera would be the single one where she would go "yes OK I'll do an entirely different stage setup for you, for one night only". It's not beneficial to her in the slightest and her fee would be a fraction of what she'd make on her own show.
-
It's unrealistic. She would obliterate Primavera's budget and the entire festival's demographic would be skewed. She's doing no other festivals on this tour. Also Gabi just wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut if they'd have booked someone this massive. She might pop up with The National for a song if she's around Barcelona, but she won't be headlining.
