DarthSaul Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Me and a friend have a running joke where Hot Chip seem to follow us to whichever festival we go to and yet we never manage to catch them so wouldn't be surprised if they do turn up. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NowTHISIsPodracing Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Friday has 5 undercards unlike the other days which have 4.. Which gives me hope for at least 3 more big-ish names as well as the 2 headliners missing. Same with the number of acts for The Loop on Friday compared to other days - shaping up to be a very stacked festival for sure! Definitely one of the most stacked I've seen / been to that's not in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of the most stacked I've seen / been to that's not in England I guess Friday's undercards are smaller than other days and thats why there's one more. Primavera Sound announcing very soon... Guess we'll discard something taken for granted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robmongascy Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Strokes are at Primavera by the look of it. Does that make them any more or less likely? Both festivals shared Arctic Monkeys in ‘18 so I guess it’s not impossible Edited January 15, 2020 by robmongascy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would expect an announcement soon if it is them. You'd think MC could offer more money but who knows, maybe they did pull out after all.

sariris Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 So the rumors were true after all... bye bye The Strokes. That would explain why they haven't announced the headliners for friday yet 😕 I honestly don't know what band could have replaced them (I don't even know if they already have a replacement or they're still looking for it) I think I'm sad.

robmongascy Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Would happily take RHCP and MCR as the final 2, if we’re counting out the strokes. I don’t know what to think anymore, just hope we get news this week or next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariris Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 RHCP and MCR would be a dream for me and my brother tbh... I would expect an announcement this friday! Maaaaaaaaybeeeeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickdp Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) In 2018 arctic monkeys were announced on the evening for primarva then the next morning for mad cool. So if it is the strokes at mad cool i would expect it quick, the longer it goes the less like it would seem.

johnybegood Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) The Strokes booking agent was not very happy by the way to proceed of Mad Cool (as many more agents in the industry) and he kicked their ass and signed for a more serious and profesional festival as Primavera. Same happened with Kendrick agent, Supergrass, Suede (last year)... etc etc Edited January 16, 2020 by johnybegood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariris Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Some agents like Mad Cool, some others like Primavera 😕 it's sad but idk, I couldn't picture The Strokes playing Mad Cool at all, I think they're more “PS material”. As for them headlining both festivals... nah, I can't see that happening. Mad Cool had them, they lost them bc of whatever reason, and Primavera got them. That's all. I'm sure we'll get good headliners for friday tho, we just have to be (more) patient (which I clearly am not, but.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any info about that but doesn't mean much. Strokes are the "big" name (in terms of money spent) in Primaveras line up. Mad Cool has many more expensive headliners (and yet to come), they cannot buy absolutely everything. Anyway Primavera has a huge line up, I don't know how much money they manage, but taking a look at it, cannot be a significant difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard stories of MC almost losing out on Arctic Monkeys after explicitely hinting towards them despite an ongoing embargo. It would explain why they only announced AM a few days after the full tour poster dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Routledge Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Well this sucks! Really hope they play Mad Cool as well but that seems doubtful. However I won't moan about RHCP or Arcade Fire with my Chemical Romance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dales Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Lots of great names on Primavera but I'm happy with the MC lineup. I think we are just going to have to be patient about those last 2 headliners but at least we can start the guessing game all over again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
