m4tt Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 Just checked BMTH website, they're scheduled to play Lowlands in Holland the weekend before.

This was always on the cards unfortunately so they should have replacements. Could BMTH not be a shout for a a replacement somewhere? not for MGK, maybe for Posty but i highly doubt it. i’m personally thinking Frank Carter for the replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably, as it’s all over Twitter, it’s not some random saying ‘hey look at these screenshots from my really genuine text conversation with a band member’ Not necessarily, but coupled with the facts MGK has removed Reading and Leeds from his website, I think that pretty much confirms the validity of the claim.

Someone on here said they were never on the site. Bit weird taking the date off and leaving Clapham Common on there don't you think? Can't make the weekend, but Mondays alright.

They probably think it wont make a difference as no one was going to that cluster fuck festival anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were never on his website then I suppose it doesn’t mean much at all. Someone on here has also said his drummer has booked a show on the same day as Reading/Leeds, anyone have any more info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we think there’s the possibility hes pulled out at the same time as QOTSA but R&L thought thatd be too much of a big loss with both of them gone in the same announcement? It’d make sense if his and Deznels have been gone since then maybe it’s a case of that, or that they hadn’t organised an adequate replacement yet so have been waiting to announce it Probably not the case but worth a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find any hope Im not too bothered about him not being there and considering Travis took his first flight since the plane crash in 2008 a week or so ago, I can’t see him flying over to the UK.

I don’t have think Frank Carter can play that high. He obviously has a large fan base, it’s very niche though, he had a small crowd, relatively, to pretty much all acts around that time of day at Reading in 2019. He is in no way mainstream. Admittedly he’s released little of late, he has 1/3rd of Wolf Alice’s monthly listeners for starters and Wolf Alice don’t have that many!
