Seperately, the band I've hinted at previously was still looking likely as of 2 weeks ago. Hope you're right. Latitude lineup on Thursday should give an idea. If they're there I think I'll make the trip down, always wanted to see them but doubt they'll play Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatteredscreens Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Looks like Tame Impala are probably out of this, playing Boston calling on the 26th May. Maybe they can play on the 1st June but I think they're booked up for then as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do Primavera Sound on 31st and are at We Love Green (Paris) on June 2nd (according to festival website, not particularly clear). Haven't seen any other dates. So it's possible but not the obvious route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaarlie Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Thoughts on mother tongue? very poppy but I prefer it to medicine, reminding me of Linkin Park's last album so far, going to be a mixed bag it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didinowanttohearthat Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 So if The Strokes are announced tomorrow for Latitude tomorrow it rules them out of this but if they're not then pretty decent chance they're at APE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) CatB were announced this day a year ago, so surely there should be something soon? I'm really hoping for something extra special; there's a few good days but there's nothing incredible yet Edited January 23, 2019 by Gilgamesh69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay, not too much of a fan personally. Can completely see BMTH's November tour being their last 'heavy' tour. They brought back some deathcore, released the 2 (probably) most guitar based songs off their album as kind of a final farewell to the older era before releasing medicine, mother tongue and the rest of amo. Imagine theyll cut house of wolves, avalanche, go to hell for heaven's sake etc. from their setlists now and take their band in the direction they're going.

Mezhyp1 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 On 1/22/2019 at 11:51 AM, DR OK said: Maybe the plan was a lattitiude exclusive then the opportunity came up to play high at Glastonbury without the exclusivity requirement (as it's already sold out) so both APE and Glastonbury? When I heard about The Strokes at Latitude, it came through a conversation about The Strokes being fairly open to where they played, and were touted amongst a few festivals. I believe this is very unStrokesish from time gone by. Of course it could be wrong, but it makes me think they might be playing more than once in the UK.

I bloody hope so as I go on holiday the day before latitude! Tbf Killers did Latitude, IOW, TRNSMT and 2 stadium shows off the back of like a 20 date arena tour in 2017 so I dont see why the Strokes wouldnt be open to doing more than one in the UK. They may even do TRNSMT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visdave34 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, all their announced festival gigs are between July 11 and 21 at the moment. APE just doesn’t seem logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaarlie Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 nihilist blues with Grimes just came out on spotify? didn't see anything teasing it sounds pretty good though, completely different to anything they've done before.

Depending on who’s still in Pond out of Tame Impala, they might be looking at 5 or 6 shows over three days in three countries if Tame Impala headlined Saturday here.

Seem to be wrong a lot these days. What d do you think at the moment? Nailed on for Glasto? Or leaning towards APE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
