Coachella & Glastonbury

[arcade fireman]

Since when did Phoenix get so big?

Also The Stone Roses are headlining one day? Surely they're nowhere near big enough in the USA! They're playing Future Music Festival in Australia and even then they're headlining the second stage...that's with lots of Brits attending.

Grinderman AND Nick Cave. They're getting spoiled....

And, also. What is the link between Coachella and Glasto acts are? That's if there is any

[eFestivals]

Just wow!!

It's landfill hell.

It's got no imagination at all.

none at all.

The nearest any link gets is that some of the bands on there will also be touring at Glasto time so that makes them possibilities to play Glasto. But the same thing applies to any band on tour, so Coachella means nothing at all.

PS .... duck, run away, put on your gas masks.

La Roux is out and about.

Please god tell us you havent heard even so much as a sniff of a rumour that red hot chilli peppers might play glastonbury. I havent even considered the horrific prospect

I haven't heard a sniff of that, but I have heard lots of sniffs of Glasto scratching around, trying to find a 3rd headliner and failing.

I'd say that puts RHCP as possibles, cos there aren't so many possibles left.

My biggest fear till now had been KoL, but I think that's just been surpassed.

Pheonix headlining? I'm a fan, but are they anywhere near big enough?

Maybe they're big in the States....and whilst I love Blur and the Stone Roses, I didnt think they were big in the US either. Are Coachella goers pissed off at this? I'm delighted with it, looks awesome.

I'd be very happy with a lot of that line up at Glasto. Obviously Nick Cave + Grinderman stands out but so, too, does the appearance of Jurassic 5 on the bill. Would love to see them at Glasto - I thought they were done.

[eFestivals]

so ... where are all the people who insisted that Daft Punk were definitely playing Coachella. And Roskilde. And Glastonbury. And others?

Told ya this long long ago.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch .... perhaps I shouldn't have written that sentence in the way I have......

My big worry isn't that 3rd headliner bein shite... It's the fact if the Rolling Stones say no then they are scratching around for 2 more and if its that much trouble getting 1 more!! Well, how hards it going to be to find a decent act.

it might be that they've already got a back-up plan in place for the Stones, I dunno. But the fact I've heard that Glasto is prepared to wait indefinitely for their answer suggests that they might have.

That lineup is pretty weak in my opinion. I didn't realise Blur and The Stone Roses were so big in America. Phoenix? Meh. Red Hot Chilli Peppers do absolutely nothing for me too. Enjoy the beer gardens y'all (american voice).

[Wooderson]

Few treats there amongst the dross. Awful fest.

Phoenix are considerably bigger in the US and Europe than here, although headlining the likes of Coachella and Primavera is still a step up from the slots they were playing last time they toured. I guess a lot of people are expecting the new album to take off.

The Roses were considerably hyped in America and famously had it on a plate and threw it away. If memory serves me correctly (it was long time ago) they sold out Madison Square Gardens but then cancelled at short notice over something stupid like it being a seated gig. I think the American music industry were ready to push them all the way but quickly tired or their laziness and arrogance and gave up on them. I think they're popular in the States in the same way that Monty Python were; there would be intense interest from music fans for a limited appearance due to levels of interest about this apparently God-like band from the UK but I doubt their record sales are particularly high or that they'd sell out a big tour.
