thewayiam Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 I think it's a decent early shout that Glastonbury get RATM to do the rock slot in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karlos12345 Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 The 2022 tour is almost an exact copy of 2020 where they had June off as well expect for Firefly. I doubt, they‘ll play Europe in June 2022. August/September 2022 and Jund 2023 is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they will just headline download. Who I don’t doubt would throw everything it takes at them to secure them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are three of the biggest festivals Rage could play in June. 2023 does enter the picture but I agree with @Matt42 that if they're around in June then they'll be at Download. They will already have done a handful of FR festivals the previous year so it follows pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Motorhead and Royal Blood playing around that time is a pretty spot on reflection of what you would call 'rock' bands. Either way they probably won't do it but if they are around with music back etc and getting the other pay days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Bastille or Lauren Hill that applied to last time? We had the 1-2 of Motörhead and ZZ Top a few years back but that’s it really.

Didn’t she specifically mention not being able to book somebody for that slot in 2019 but having somebody massive booked for 2020 which lead to the speculation surrounding it and eventual reveal of Aerosmith?

That was said privately to Neil by a Glasto booker at the ETC finals (might've been Emzie) so it does explain why there wasn't one. It probably isn't going to be a slot they can fill every year - which does arguably invalidate it as a slot - but if the woman in charge says it's a thing then it bloody well is.

They’ll book whoever is available and willing to play. Aerosmith playing third down would be an absolutely colossal booking, but very much a one off. I doubt they’ll spend 12 months trying to convince Kiss to play the same slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yee but if they like to book a ‘rock/metal slot’ then they might be more inclined to hit up Limp Bizkit out of available names than they are Two Door Cinema Club.
