Royal Blood having one was perhaps a big surprise for me. Saw one called Royal Monster supporting the more famed Antarctic Monkeys AM tribute in Milton Keynes in early 2019 and remember them being pretty good.

Let's all start a Wet Leg one, never too soon

Buzzing!

Just got tickets to see The Beths in Manchester next May.  Never been to New Century and it looks like a cracking little venue.  Can't wait for that.

They've started appearing lower down on some UK festival line ups so wouldn't be at all surprised if they crop up at the G somewhere.  Avalon/Williams Green maybe.

surely a lock for a high profile set on the farm. also Ally Pally describes their show as part of a summer series at the park, guessing an extension to the Primal Scream and Kaleidoscope events of this year

Agreed- they’re in Dublin just after the festival, and it’s normally full of Glastonbury acts around that time.

Slipknot are 100% playing Download btw, you'll find out Monday.

Happy days, Metallica x2, Slipknot and BMTH for certain then? Be more than enough to get me to go.

That's always been the only remotely credible rumour yeah, but Corey's not really beaten around the bush in telling everyone that Slipknot are definitely playing! 

Based on who's touring at the time it should be stacked regardless, save yourself probably £40 and buy 'em this weekend.

had no idea Joji was this big - basically a redo of the Rex Orange County show of this year and i imagine with a similar crossover crowd. feeling v out of touch, would’ve had him pegged as a Brixton Academy type!!

[Riggins]

I was on last.fm earlier and stumbled across the most listend to artists and it was Drake, Taylor then Joji

Feels like the audience for this gig would be absolutely insufferable.

You would think with Blackpink playing Hyde that something like this wouldnt feel so out of place.

Not really that comparable

Joji is big but did not think he was this big at all! Fair play to him

In the US he is certainly doing big shows and forcing fans to fly than a proper tour, no way could he replicate nearly those venues all over the states

Well he will add extra dates over here. Smarter to limit the shows and sell em out than have a weak showing in say Iowa for example.

I'd argue against that. Means fans not in NYC or LA are forced to fly in vs just doing a 20 date tour of smaller venues. Bad for the environment that too

Its like when an artist only plays London over here - its just annoying for anyone not in London.

Following up on this, full first poster draft has leaked and it's very legit. Save yourself 40 quid and buy before midnight tomorrow!

I'm hoping this is a tour and they're back on the farm.

Yesterday was a day of returns. Dillinger Escape Plan teasing for next year .

given there's a sign up on the main landing page of their website I would assume a tour

“Weird Al” Yankovic is back with The Unfortunate Return of the Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tour.

Al and his band will be eschewing their usual high-octane theatrics (no costumes, no props, no video screens) in favour of playing deep cuts and fan-favourite originals rather than his classic parodies. Because of the no-frills, bare-bones nature of this show, Yankovic will be performing in more intimate theatres and settings in the UK. Opening the show each night will be Al’s long-time friend (and The Vidiot From UHF co-star), the legendary comedian Emo Philips.

“Weird Al” Yankovic said,“I don’t very often get an opportunity to tour outside of North America, so it’s a huge thrill for me to come back to the UK and play a bunch of songs that most people would rather not hear.”

If anything I'd say this was intimate for them, they're an arena band. Brixton Academy level acts like Supergrass/Jungle/Becky Hill have been booked for Crystal Palace Park the past couple of years.
