Don't know what's so surprising about that. Sónar is an electronic music / hip hop festival and Super Bock Super Rock has had some interesting electronic / hip hop acts on recent years. No need to be "worried about that". Edited January 25, 2019 by diogozsz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt said I'm surprised. I said that I'm worry and that's because I thought that when they decided do came back to Meco, they decided to do a line-up like the ones between 2010 and 2014. Of course, they can mix everything and it's ok. I guess we'll see, but I don't think ASAP Rocky, for example, is the type of headliner people are waiting for. Don't know. A lot has changed in this festival. Edited January 25, 2019 by joaommaia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wouldn't people expect a hip hop headliner? The ones like Kendrick, Drake and Kanye are a bit different. I didn't know Travis Scott's day was that successful, since I saw The Voidz last year and the numbers of the organisation were hilarious. I mean, it's impossible that so many people were there. Besides, it's a bit different to sell out 20 000 tickets at Parque das Nações (center of Lisbon) and 40 000 at Meco (Sesimbra)... I guess we'll have more electronic/hip-hop names, but my bet is they will be mix with alternative bands. Don't misunderstand me. I like hip-hop, but Meco was "special" due to other types of music, too. Edited January 25, 2019 by joaommaia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young_contra Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) The last thing this festival needs IMO is to be a tryhard version of what a "rock" festival should be. It will be playing smart if it invests on Hip Hop artists that NOS Alive doesn't care about and could headline NPS or MSW but fit better here Rock headliners nowadays are always the same. It is boring and predictable and it depends on recycling names. What the rock genre needs is what it ignores: smaller bands, smaller venues and more open minds. There is always place for rock acts, they do not negate other genres, I just wish people werent this elitist (not the case here tho! just rambling a bit) Edited January 25, 2019 by young_contra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possibility for them to do a pop day, a hip hop day and rock day seems logical too. I mean, the first day looks more pop at the moment... Edit: you add more things to your comment and I agree. Personally, I don't listen to typical rock bands nowadays. The "new" rock is a lot more appealing.

spacedementia Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 They're not headliner-sized but they're playing on the same day as Disclosure so they'll get away with that. Really weak day IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
