I'm tilted. They went from "We want to headline Coachella" to "Okay, it's fine to headline Volt and sell our greedy asses to eastern festivals instead of the main circuit for a bag of cash", and then release press interview where they say that it is not about the money Might give up on Bologna as well, as the whole thing looks like a cashgrabbing parade right now, and not the kind I'm too keen to take part to.

clasher Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) But of course is MCR in the neighbourhood while I'm already away. Same story every damn year, a band that's not doing my festival of choice comes somewhere close exactly when I can't go.

To be fair, both Way and Iero had extensive solo tours in both Russia and Ukraine when everybody else gave up on them. This kind of fanatic following might be the factor.

I do not know how many will come to their performance in Kyiv, maybe a thousand ?. At that time everyone else will be on 21pilots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theesundayroast Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 11 and no announcements. Does this make it likely we'll get nothing new today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of fanatic following might be the factor. That or the fact that eastern promoters are forced by the low palatability of their festivals and the territorial distances to propose higher and higher cachets. Plus the fact that they require an headliner status that nobody that really matters in the circuit is up to give it to them, may those be Coachella, Mad Cool or Rock Werchter, makes the demand of the band non-sense and the whole reason of the reunion highly suspicious. I mean, I'm okay that almost any reunion is a cash cow event, but at least don't make it so obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I know in Germany they're music sold well but their albums still didn't crack the top 50's. I assume it'll be similar results from places like Russia, Ukraine & Hungary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSaul Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 In a way it's exciting because now we have one, maybe two headliners who will take us by surprise to look forward to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be mental if they got Queen in, I cant see it but atm it's making the most sense with them being in Madrid. I'm honestly lost who could be headlining now.... maybe a rapper?

DanCarey20 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Hi All, First year attending the festival and just looking for some advice on accommodation if anyone could assist? I understand that there's a shuttle bus that goes as far as Plaza De Castilla. Is this the furthest away that you should stay? Or is it possible to get back into the city from Plaza De Castilla using Uber or public transport? There doesn't seem to be a huge amount of options near PDC but seems to be a lot more the closer you get to the centre of Madrid. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm hoping to get a accommodation organised asap. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guernica Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 I went last year and stayed in central Madrid. I definitely won't be doing that again this year, it was a nightmare to get back every night as the festival finishes really late so there's no public transport and the Ubers were pretty expensive. We're gonna try find a hotel near the festival site/ airport this year. It's really easy to travel into and out of central Madrid by public transport during the day, then hoping to just walk back to the hotel or get a quick Uber in the evening. Also staying near Plaza de Castilla is a good shout but i'm not sure if the shuttle transport drop off point has already been announced this year? Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
