My mate is getting married on the Sunday of Reading... and I’m the best man!

Leeds it is then...

Whats that you say?  Little Timmy has fallen down a well? And the only way to get him out is to go see RATM at Reading?

Rage day is gonna be weird. A bunch of middle-aged blokes taps aff, and  a load of confused sixthformers doing balloons

[Spindles]

Count me in on the day ticket train.  They play Leeds on my son's 28th birthday and I took him to see them for his first ever festival last time they played for his 16th.  

 

I'm not ruling out the chance of them headlining Other though, just like I'm not ruling out the chance of them having new material produced by El-P.  A man can dream.

Just for curiosity, in the gap of June/July of RATM are festivals in Europe as Roskilde or Rock Werchter. Do they have the line up closed?

For some reason that sounds great.

Is there something wrong with me?

It does indeed, I can't wait.

 

Hopefully RATM put on a stellar performance and win the dark fruits crowd over

I haven't read through this post, but the big gap in their tour announcement around Glastonbury dates....does this indicate they will be there do people think?

Leads to the Twitter reaction certainly

As a Glastonbury ticket holder on the other side of the world this is a highly disappointing turn of affairs. This is probably the best booking RnL has made since the last time Rage played though. If I was still in the UK I would be popping my RnL cherry for sure. 

I think that suggestions for other are wishful thinking at best sadly. I like to think that Rage are fully on board with the climate change debate (particularly as it impacts Mexican farmers) and wouldn't want to cross the Atlantic twice to fit Glastonbury and a few other shows in their schedule before the rest of their American dates. I'm sure that Rage will get around to my part of the world next year so I won't miss out.

I’m a lager man but I’ve a huge urge to drink dark fruits when Rage are on.

What about the light fruits?

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

They were selling it last year at the bar and I did not love to swig it.

I learnt long ago to avoid the novelty Brothers flavours like the plague. 

Pear, and pear only.

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Thinking a long weekend in Prague for this tour. Not seen them in an arena which is always preferable for one of your favourite artists.

Absolutely buzzing with this news

Funny, cos that's exactly what it tastes like.

It's no Flaming Moe.

Probably. My opinion is that they will do Pinkpop, Werchter, Firenze and others in 2021

They'll be gone again by next summer

Oh my god. 

Am I really going to buy a Reading ticket???

Think I'd rather see them at Reading than the 02, looking at the US part of the tour it's all stadiums & arenas. 

Where else would they play if they came to London?

 

There are zero stadium dates in this initial round of north american dates. Unless youre counting 1 outdoor amphitheatre as a stadium, or the festivals they have lineD up. Other than that, all arenas.

still sticking to my other stage headliner prediction..

 But what day. Opposite Taylor? Cause theres no way in hell theyre against Kendrick. That would be the most illogical clash you could think of. 2 major name acts that are both from los angeles against each other?
