I'm sure I could see Taylor elsewhere for a few more years, but this could be a last chance for Rage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at the Reading and was one of the best nights of music of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll pay big, and it's run by the same people as Coachella... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukethekid Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 There’s more notoriety to be had over here doing Glastonbury rather than doing APE. Saying that though there could be clauses in their contract for Coachella for them to do APE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, would be amazing if Glastonbury could get them on The Other though. Would be a sweaty one that’s for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be unusual for a band to reform just to play a particular show (Coachella in this case) so I reckon there'll be more to it, although the mooted other shows so far in the USA appear to be warm-up shows for Coachella. To me it makes perfect sense for Goldenvoice to have chucked them money to do both Coachella and APE, and perhaps some more - and I think it's likely that the initial run of shows will be limited (so exclusive) via the contract that's caused them to reform.

priest17 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 You'd think most bands with an ounce of distortion to their name would fancy getting on that undercard as well. Shit that all these things happen in bloody London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve read Neil, Coachella didn’t make them reform, they approached Coachella. Apparently Coachella had to rejiggle a fully booked lineup to accommodate them. It seems very motivated by the US election - which means there may be no European shows, but who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I said APE is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still seems a no-brainer for APE, as they'd have early notice of their availability and are around the right sized act for APE. That different scenario might make a difference to whether APE had them as an exclusive, but I'd expect APE to try and tie them down as many of the APE shows haven't sold fantastically well.

Tommy101 Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 If RATM played APE I could see them selling out at £70 a ticket without anyone one the undercard if it is a UK exclusive (or even not extensive in Europe) When they played Reading, day tickets where changing hands for £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
