SFX the owners of Tomorrowland files for bankruptcy:

SFX is not the owner of Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland is 100% Belgian. SFX is a kind of 'subcontractor' for TomorrowWorld Brasil and US. When SFX bought ID&T (which was 50% owner of Tomorrowland) the Belgian organisator bought back the festival for 100%, but they made the deal SFX could organise the Brasil and US festivals as a subcontractor.
TomorrowWorld Brasil will normally go on with a part of the Brasillian crew of SFX. TomorrowWorld US will not at this moment.
Tomorrowland (Belgium) itself has never been in trouble.

Those Italian dates are confirmed, so the leaked schedule was wrong. I can't see Springsteen playing Thursday, with Disclosure likely being the dance closer on that day.

What about Paul McCartney on Thursday? Since he's pretty much a certainty for Pinkpop. And I figure that a setlist with 50% Beatles songs would go down better than Springsteen playing The River...

Hell yeah! Actually while you mentioning it, I got a newletter mail from McCartneys management that stated the following:

"We are looking at new tour dates as we speak so hopefully we'll be somewhere near you. We don't have any confirmation on those tour dates just yet, but remember to keep checking back to Paul's website. We promise that as soon as they're confirmed, we will announce them there."

Actually, McCartney is not too bad. He's a great performer and will most certainly play festival Beatles anthems, if he would headline.

Can someone post link with all dates announced, I can't find them?

[Red Day]

I always quite liked the beatles but would never say i was a big fan. Watched PM at Glastonbury in 04 i think, and he was really good. 

[McCallion]

I'd say McCartney is a little lacklustre these days. Saw him a couple of years ago and was something of a disappointment. I'd give him another chance though. I reckon if Springsteen gets Werchter, McCartney could get TW Classic or vice versa

[Red Day]

One of my mates went to see PM last year in Liverpool and thought he was great. Mind you he thinks stereophics are great so maybe not the best  endorsement

New stuff by PJ Harvey adapted to Barn or Klub C : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ReW0jJkag8&feature=youtu.be

 

[Red Day]

I'd have had her down for the barn 

[lightning1000]

Yeah I've always thought she'd be 3rd or maybe 2nd down in the barn.

[e2p2]

The question is who is more suitable to play 3rd,  before RHCP / Editors? Both PJ Harvey and Tame Impala can be Barn headliner buy I guess PJ Harvey will be better than them on the mainstage. 

[Red Day]

Tame impala would be good on main stage on a sunny evening

I think they can fit with the darkness and 15k crowd much more than playing in the open for mostly RHCP fans. But this is true for PJ Harvey too..

What do you think about?

I know it's hypotetical but I hope they'll add some new bands that haven't already announced a festival/summer tour (for example massive attack). 

[Red Day]

RHCP fans who haven't seen them live before might end up disappointed. They've been dull and really flat last twice I've seen them.  Felt like they were 4 blokes going thru the motions. Hopefully this tour they'll have more spark about them

In 2007 I've worked for their gig in Udine (Italy) and it was the worst concert I've ever seen. 

So if it will be some good alternative on the other stages I'll surely not see them.

[Red Day]

Saw them on californication tour indoors at secc and they were brilliant. Went again to glasgow green and they were awful. Less said about their performance at titp in 07 ? the better. I lasted around 5 songs and was so bored i went off to the tent to see the charlatans who were fantastic 

[lightning1000]

Yeah v by the time they hit Europe in 07 they were burnt out and the band was in meltdown. Apparently they're much more enjoyable now John isn't making everyone miserable 

[Red Day]

Hope so cause there's a lot of people appear to be looking forward to seeing them.

[lightning1000]

I'm by no means looking forward to them like some are, I'm just willing to give them another chance to win me over, play the hits, keep the jamming to an absolute minimum rather than 5 mins in between every song whilst keidis goes off stage and just look like they wouldn't rather be anywhere else than on the stage

Lots of unconfirmed acts, and it looks quite unrealistic... Kendrick Lamar as barn headliner?
