I saw them described as the Imagine Dragons of the metal world and thought that was pretty spot on. Can’t help but feel that they wouldn’t be nearly as recognised by the rock/metal world if they didn’t dress up all spooky.

I tweeted this a little while back. I think a few people have made the same (correct, and cutting) observation. I was at Download and saw absolutely shitloads of people wearing Sleep Token tshirts, probably the most popular tshirt on show there ffs! - so on the drive back i bunged them on shuffle to check em out.

Almost had to stop at leicester sevices to change it 😄 They're just not for me.

R and B elements with a bit of metal isnt a bad idea, Turnstile have swathes of it and they're great (especially live) but  Sleep Token i dont get.

But the kids love em! The second most popular t-shirt i saw at Download was probably Five finger death punch and they're absolutely bollocks too, so maybe we should be ignoring the kids 👍

FFDP put on a good show, I'll give 'em that. They seldom seem to play outside of London and Download now though, so maybe favour is against them.

Maddest support/main act combo of all time for me has to be The Velvet Underground reuniting... to support U2

Now that's pretty wild.

Said it happened a few times when U2 were in Zoo TV mode, so at their most ridiculous. Can imagine that was quite the evening indeed.

If we are talking about headliners subbing headliners, Florence supported the Rolling Stones when I saw them at London Stadium.  Not that long ago... maybe 2018? 

She also supported Blur, but this was when she was only 1-2 albums deep so not quite the same

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
