His biggest UK tour ever though. Bigger tour than The 1975’s I think.

Lemme know when Nick Cave plays Finsbury Park and headlines a festival as big as R&L

the kasabian thing seems... weird. They've disabled comments under the tweet announcing Tom is leaving, and he was doing interviews about the new album 2 weeks ago.

Wonder if something dodgy is about to break?

Yeah I get the impression this may be something other than a drug or alcohol problem, or if it is one/both of those then it’s lead to something else worrying. Not even ‘taking a break from the band’ that leaves room for his return but a full on ‘we’ve all decided it’s best if he’s no longer part of the band’.

I think not disbanding the band is essentially leaving room for return. They’re not gonna continue without him are they? Serge can sing a bit obviously but it’s a bit like Noel fronting Oasis permanently.

He sold out Victoria Park which is the same capacity as Finsbury Park. He isn’t allowed to play young people festivals because of his bad hair so that’s never going to be a level thing.

I know The 1975 have a better chance of headlining of course. I just think labelling Cave as an unknown is pretty out of touch.

I don’t think either will ever headline Glastonbury if I’m honest.

I can’t fathom a year where they would genuinely ask him to headline either. He’s probably at the bottom of the pile when it comes to potential headliners.

I actually think they’d ask Kings of Leon to headline before Nick Cave. Or get Muse again..

This forum’s circlejerk around Nick Cave is astonishing. I can’t believe people are talking about him headlining over The 1975, possibly the biggest British band of this generation. 

I don't think anyone has actually said they think Nick Cave is more likely to headline than The 1975.

I actually think Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds shift more concert tickets than The 1975.

I had a feeling it was going to be something like this. It’s why I held off giving him much praise.

Me too - hard to believe he’d be booted out (sorry, ‘stepped down by mutual consent’) in such a manner if sorting out an addiction issue only.

    • I found the vibe a little different to recent editions.. definitely an older crowd, less queer, less Spanish.. certainly has something to do with the lack of Glastonbury this year. And I felt Saturday was a little overcrowded. I‘ve never seen Mordor as full as last night for the xx and Gorillaz. Did not enjoy that too much.
    • Not my favourite year either, despite liking the lineup more than previous years. Not sure what it was, I guess Thursday really put the brakes on things. But yeah I'll be back next year hopefully. And maybe Massive Attack will return... 
    • E-mail summarizing Saturday - Primavera Sound 2026 Journal Day 3. As in previous days, it's going to be on the website soon, I think.
    • I was surprised as well. I met more than 20 different people on both Friday and Saturday that had come in reusing QR codes.
