Jochen Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 + dEUS, Netsky, Goose, The Subs, Angele, Romeo Elvis, Zwangere Guy, Damso, Frenetik, Tourist LeMc... Maybe adding some dutch artists such as The Opposites, Joost, Froukje, Eefje & some more international dj's like Paul Kalkbrenner, Disclosure, Mr. Oizo.. I think this is the most pessimistic scenario? Even than, I believe most ticketholders would still want the festival to go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilero Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 I hope you are right and that this could be the most pessimistic scenario. I'm really starting to fear for this year's edition to even happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s taking a bit too long now so would be great if they’d start communicating. Because of corona restrictions (in every country other rules) and festivals cancelling, it is less and less attractive for international bands to do shows in Europe this summer. A couple of weeks ago, around start presale, the line up was still looking ok (You have Editors, Oscar, Gorillaz was nearly confirmed, Disclosure, QOTSA was still on...). But then each day a couple of cancellations. Many interesting British/international acts are cancelling their performance. They are now doing all they can to bring a decent line up. But it is not looking good. There are also still some government issues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least financially it doesn‘t make sense. Or is the whole „tour“ off the table for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it currently stands its impossible for acts to go from country to country, this will probably change by the end of August but that's a big if. Belgium are on UK's amber list, are acts going to play at pukkelpop and quarantine for 10 days? There is a fair few festivals in the UK from late August to the end of September. IMO they will concentrate on that. QOTSA is another example, as USA is on the amber list currently. Are they just going to travel for pretty much a couple of shows and then back to America to quarantine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, but if effing football players can fly across Europe for current EURO without quarantine, why can't international bands? It's their job, not for fun or vacation. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstage closers surely. Edited June 27, 2021 by DDave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotron Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Why don't they just book European/Schengen-Area based bands. They are available and the crowd would be happy to see headliners like Rammstein, Volbeat, Behemoth and so on. We booked 10 tickets first day and even if the line-up sucks this will still be a blast but I am quite sure people will be pissed if there are no big players at all.

None of those bands are on tour till at least October and Rammstein not till 2022. Probably the right idea about European/Schengen bands but those mentioned aren't going to just get together to play one show to a bunch of fans who haven't booked to see them in particular. Plus I'd imagine Rammsteins stage crew is pretty big as well. Take the UK and US acts out of it and there's not many proper headliners around at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
