Divein Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 With them saying no main stage clashes do you think it’ll be like Primavera where you have the stages effectively facing each other and as one stage finishes the other starts?

Hugh Jass Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 On the plus side this gives a pretty strong indication that there will be new QOTSA material coming in the next 12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I suppose I could see QOTSA and beat the crowds to be back in Leeds for a sensible time... But in all reality, I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't think so. They just play gigs when they're asked. Josh just unloaded a bunch of songs for Desert Sessions and has been dealing with a messy divorce all year.

Or, at a push, a sub on Pyramid before a rock-ish closer like AM. Time for my annual give QOTSA the Friday night comment... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did Glasto 2011 about four years on from an album and played R+L twice on album campaign. They are mercenaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexOvd Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) How many times Post Malone is playing this fucking festival. Oh my god 😂 EDIT: Where are the woman? 6 "headliners" all man.

I think it's been confirmed in a band statement or by another festival that they were coming back to Europe fall 2021 so it's not gonna be much longer a wait than R+L would have been.

Tbh I've rather see them do their own show than Leeds fest so it's not all bad, just gutted, I suppose whats another year added on too 10.

Likely stagger the times on the 2 stages by 5-10 mins just to give people a slight break and to move. But looking at the map of the fest theyll have to place them next to each other. Unless theyre going to move Radio 1 and the Dance Stage to have them be on opposite ends of the main field there is no other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s keep in mind we stink at handling covid and that tour could get pushed which leaves them as an option if nothing else is happening for a while in the U.S. You cant put it past Glasto for maybe considering that scenario.

How on earth have they bargained up after stagnating totally after Settle? Nah, the new album is good. The EP which formed most of the last half of Energy is full of great house tunes. The rest of the album has some absolute bangers on there and does what they do best. Bringing dance music to the charts. Not for your edm purists but they're popular for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reading/Leeds crowd will love it though and I’m sure they’ll go down well. It’s exactly the kind of stuff the current R/L crowd eats up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the singles but felt pretty let down by the album. Better than the last, but nothing special. I've put it on again now to give it another chance so will report back if anything changes.
