I think the popularity of Taylor Swift in Europe is greatly underestimated. She hasn't done much touring here, or hasnt done multiple Ziggo Dome dates for example, still doesnt have to mean the demand isnt there.

From what I gathered, her Reputation Stadium Tour dates in the UK didn't sell super well. Lots of papering the house to get the stadiums looking full. I do agree that we may be underestimating her appeal in mainland Europe, but Mojo/Pinkpop tend to book in a conservative manner. If data points for 2020 prove that Swift can bring in the numbers across Europe, then a subsequent Netherlands booking will become much more likely.

You know about some venues? Do they go large or any arenas included?

From what I hear large festivals (Pinkpop, Firenze) and stadiums (London, Stuttgart, Warsaw), apparently a date in Lima (yeah, Peru) might be announced as well.

 

Could see multiple UK dates, perhaps more up north, but that's just speculation.

I could stop saying anything, if that's what you want. 

Yesterday I confirmed that Pinkpop is releasing some news today. 
That's no guess, that's a fact.
So do with it what you want in combination with your own guesses. 
If you don't like confirmation, that's fine with me.

I mean you are teasing us like hell, thats fine and all and you can play the 'whooo do not annoy me, I'm an insider and I might go' act, but it really REALLY doesnt add anything useful if people have been talking since yesterday about the imminent announcement for today and all you have to add is 'everybody ready', which seems to implicate news at 10AM, which then doesn't play out again.

Yeah, that's true. That comment today was a bit of a tease, but wasn't because of the time. 
Didn't think of it like that. My bad :)

The talks from others were about GnR and guesses about an announcement. 
My comment was a confirmation that Pinkpop will release a headliner today. 
I guess that was a bit helpful for the guesses.

Well it definitely helps if an insider confirms it! Or at least that there'll be an announcement. We all go 1+1 = 2 after that, which obviously isnt 100% certain yet (though its very unlikely to have two big announcements on one day). GnR was a rumor that kept getting stronger, and this morning a bunch of (unofficial) confirmations seemed to come in through some German/Austrian media

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
