rivalschools.price Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Janes addiction US tour ends in may,just in time to head to UK for June?? http://www.janesaddiction.com/tourdates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipper64 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Well I know one thing, if the Queen touring rumours are true, then Janes are unlikely to hit Europe this Summer. Chris Chaney is supposedly in line to play bass for them, Perry spoke about it in an interview last year, said Queen were headhunting Chris, and he didn't want to give him up, at least until their world tour was over, and said he'd welcome them to have him this year and even play Lollapalooza if they wanted.

thejimbola Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Saw them on tour just before they split, they were fucking awesome. Still dont reckon theyll be playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejimbola Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Not sure if anyone has mentioned it or not, but Europe are playing a few festivals around Download/Sonisphere time. As they only played Sonisphere a couple of years ago (and Bloodstock I think), they must have a decent chance of playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Anyone reckon it might be The Prodigy, Biffy Clyro, Limp Bizkit? Or does Biffy having headlined the competitor fest to it stop this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev1664 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I hope it's Biffy, they have said there only doing a few shows this year while working on their new album. Already announced for isle of wight. Not beyond the realms of possibility but also half expect them under foos at reading and Leeds. Unless r&l have plans for them to headline next year.

the_mars_volta Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 How about Slayer for one of the unannounced slots? Playing a few European festivals in June. Perhaps the second stage headliner on the Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mars_volta Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 And whilst I'm at it, how about Within Temptation to headline 2nd stage on the Sunday? Or are they not *quite* big enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theramm Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Interesting that AC hasn’t booked the Friday 2nd stage headliner yet. I know he's (mildly) hinted that it'll be a classic act opposite The Prodigy but at what point do bands like Soundgarden etc become viewed as classic? Could 'The Smashing Pumpkins' be considered classic? I don't think it'll be another metal act with Devin on 3rd. The pool of traditional classic acts that warrant such a high spot & are touring is getting increasingly shallow so aside from Crue, Whitesnake, Priest who else could fill the spot? People's insistence on these acts being there led us to getting Def Leppard again last year, surely as the years past the boundaries of what's deemed 'classic' must move accordingly?
