Yeah it was September though, so haven't bought it to R&L. 

I mean, they must have played mostly new stuff when they played 1 month before the album came out surely? (Also I could have sworn your post said you thought one had come out this year before your edit :P)

[Steve1000]

Also 2018 - 2016 = 2

We said it was the third Summer touring it, though (2016, 17, 18), not that it came out three years ago

just listened to that new fall out boy album. don’t understand why even festival republic would want to go near them now (if rumours are true). it’s pitiful at best

It's amazing how it somehow feels more dated than AB/AP and that was already not great imo

[Bisque]

Did anyone see Macklemore or Kendrick & how did it go?

[DomenicoZappala]

Very off topic, but I work for an events company called Festaff and we’ve just been told from our head boss we’ve got the contract for a new festival called “Cool Britannia” in Knebworth Park the weekend after r&l.

Does anyone have any knowledge on this one at all? First year of it but seems to be in decent sized grounds, line up expected end of jan like every other festival.

Wasn't there rumoured to be a festival at Knebworth with The Rolling Stones playing this year?

[Mattymooz]

Wait, isn't Knebworth where the Glasto replacement thing was supposed to be happening?

Nah that's a completely different thing. That's happening in like 2021 and is at Longleat or something.

Would make sense with the tag line “Iconic Acts from an Epic Era”

Yeah they said they were annoyed at how stadiums were being taken up by sports events so often and this would be ideal - they hinted they were trying to book UK shows I think. Fleetwood Mac maybe also said there'd be a summer tour - If they're not announced for BST. I think ELO are around then too - I know they're touring the UK in October.

They only played two new songs, rich man and spit it out (think that was rich mans debut aswell iirc) so haven't really played on that album.

edit: should have carried on reading

Not as of yet unfortunately! Trying to find out haha

I reckon this is it, Rolling Stones would obviously be the main headliner but who else would play? I'd imagine they'd have to be old and British.

If it's knewborth then the artists will have to be huge - and the 'era' I imagine would be like 70s and 80s. I just hope it's not flooded with pop acts and has artists like the stones, fleetwood mac, ELO etc. Pink Floyd reunion ? Stone roses reunion if the 'era' is a bit later?

BearFur could be a decent shout.

Hi All, finally made an account after reading the forum for a few years. Where has the actual info for the new PR firm come from? It seems ldcommunications and The Zeitgeist Agency are still running PR and have been for a few years?

Queen and Adam Lambert, fleetwood mac, ELO, paul mccartney, Eric clapton and there are loads of reunion opportunities :

Blur, stone roses, with extremely long shots at zeppelin pink Floyd and oasis

What would be the point in booking them on their third Summer touring the album when they already had them in a decent slot on the first Summer? Just wait til next year when they will probably have a new album. They're from the UK so them being around in August doesn't really mean much.

 

Do you really think THAT much thought goes in to booking bands much lower down the bill like slaves, though? No one is buying festival tickets to see slaves, but they probably attract a decent enough crowd of people that are happy enough to watch them if they’re there anyway. Honestly for how much they probably cost vs how big a crowd will end up watching them I think they’re a smart booking. Bands like the view and Blossoms fall into the same category.

Can’t see Eric Clapton being there cos of Hyde Park but you’ve also got acts like Bob Dylan and the who etc, got the potential to be incredible if it’s got decent funding

Yeah there's so many I can't remember off the top of my head - The who, sting, rod Stewart 

Only reason I said Clapton is cos he's sold out Hyde park and it wasn't advertised as a European/uk exclusive like the cure was. David Gilmour maybe also ?
