like i said in another thread, i really want to believe the Kanye information but the fact that the info was 'Kanye OR The Strokes' makes it seem a lot less reliable (i think, anyway)

it wasn't one or the other in what was sent to me - but there's only one headline slot, and both are being mooted to me as headliners, so only one of them could possibly headline.

All of it, every single thing they've ever done? I'm not a fan but what they put out doesn't sound as boring as most of the indie rock stuff floating about these days. And the structure of their tunes flow in such a way that at least you can't figure the next bit out before you hear it. That makes it kind of interesting for me, but like said I'm not a big fan, just curious as to why they're like a pariah here.

RHCP: Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, One Hot Minute and Californication are all great albums for the purpose they serve. Fun funk rock. Classics of my teens. They headlined the first festival I went to as well at Reading 99. They were superb. I have time a lot of time for the chilis. Unfortunately getting old was never going to suit them and post californication has been a bit of a disaster.

They had some decent tunes in the 90s but everything post 2000 has been an abomination and their like shows are notoriously terrible. The fact the they're all about 40 yet still act like like teenagers just adds to their shiteness.

You should adapt this site Neil to include a proper online mag, it could be great. You could have more reviews of gigs, festivals and albums/singles and the advertisers would lap it up. Cheap as well, because most of your contibutors could be from the people on these forums, doing it for their love of music and festivals. It could be great and give the likes of the dreadful NME a run for their money. The music industry needs a proper music mag. I know I find these forums brilliant for finding out about new bands and new music - there aren't that many places where you can find it these days. And I am know you would do it for the right reasons, not for massive profit, but for the love of music

I could be your 1970's/1980's electronic music correspondent!

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
