Gnomicide Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I saw them supporting Motley Crue years back. Baffling. They had this reputation of being ground breakers in the US and they were coming over to show the UK what we'd been missing. They were met with monumental indifference. Pub rock band at best. Gotta love the diddle eye song though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Twenty One Pilots have tour dates on their website up to March 2017, hopefully they keep touring over the summer next year with Glastonbury appearance thrown in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Given the size of the venues they are playing on that your, are Kraftwerk big enough to headline West Holts? If not, does their 3D schtick work in daylight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero000 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 They've got to play next year. They're surely as big as Hot Chip or James Blake, so WH does feel right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 if anybody finds prices for these shows hit me up. even though Glastonbury looks like it may be on the cards, chances are it'd be amidst clash central and i'd be foolish to not see em in Liverpool if the prices aren't ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Was just gonna post about Kraftwerk. this has really annoyed me. Get Kraftwerk tix for weds and miss a day at G or hold on in the hope that they play G...... hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are playing a specified full album per night in European cities. It will be very expensive I'm sure. No less than £70?? I can't see them in Manchester as I hope to be on my way to Glastonbury that night, so fingers crossed headlining West Holts...with or without 3D don't care.

ghostdancer1 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) probably not, but i'm sure there'd be a few. they could have 2 people at each of the 3 (?) main entrances to WH handing them out, before their performance I suppose. there'd probably be people taking them despite just passing through on their way to somewhere else, or people coming in and missing the people handing them out, but they'd cover most people I suppose. e: 4 entrances, forgot the Leftfield/Toilets at the back one.

mungo57 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I'd just put it prominently in the programme and lanyard that Kraftwerk will be performing a 3d set and that glasses will be required for the experience and have them handed out from the lockups on the day of Kraftwerk's performance. I think that would be easier than having to fight with all those people trying to get them from 8 or so poor schmucks in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Coldplay managed to hand out their bracelets, so logistically I'm sure Kraftwerk can do same with their goggles. But even without them, you could still enjoy the show I'd imagine. And yes, they're certainly big enough to headline West Holts, and I would be all over it!

mungo57 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I would imagine Kraftwerk would be considered big enough for WH but a few years back they played TITP and struggled to get numbers in the tent they played didn't they? That might be down to the fact that TITP is either shit or the fact someone big was headlining same time though..... would imagine a Kraftwerk 3d set at G would be rather popular.

dondo Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 I was just about to come on here and post about Kraftwerk- looking promising Have seen them 4 times over the years and always excellent- took the kids for the 1st time this year and they loved it too!
