metallimuse Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 No Yorkshire date either which I found interesting, did he play this years fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah subbed the second main stage at this year's fest and has Leeds Arena in November. You would have expected Sheffield Arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Annoying there's no Cardiff date as that would be my nearest arena but he was so good at Reading I may have to do the London or Birmingham date. Glad he was good, I had tickets to 3 of his gigs and 6 festivals that he either pulled out of or got cancelled between 2018-2021 so it was the first time I actually saw him.

19liam75 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 Do we reckon this rules out RHCP & Strokes coming over for R&L next year? Both in UK June/July time... cant imagine they'd come back over. The gap though may suggest otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manchester is closest to us and with A$AP Rocky supporting, I am a bit tempted to go. Edited October 7, 2021 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swelsbyuk Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 The Strokes supporting anyone is a pretty big deal but them and RHCP together, one after the other, makes a flight to Las Vegas worthwhile (or it would if I had the money). Plenty of hotel rooms locally too, I'm told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's a R&L sized gap - 9 days whereas elsewhere the largest gap is only 3 days. That gap is there for a reason and I suspect that reason is R&L.

My missus is the opposite and hates them, we got offered free drinks and a VIP box to see them on their last tour and she insisted I pay her so I literally had to give her a penny to go with me. I'm hoping Thundercat will book a one off date away from their tour whilst he's over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 In my experience RHCP and The Strokes are both complete garbage live, but if they're playing together in Manchester the temptation may be a little too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I saw Chillis was definitely the best time. Heard many a bad reports since then though. If they got The Stones that weeekend, we'd have had The Stone Roses, Blur, The Stones and RHCP. You probably would have never beat those 4 ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoOdyssey Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) Maneskin have just released their first new music since Zitti E Buoni, Beggin' & I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE took off, it'll be interesting to see how it performs.

foolee Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 I actually thought The Strokes at T2011 were class. First time seeing them and I was in my element. RHCP we’re good in 2003 but been pretty shit since then but my partner enjoyed there set at Rock Werchter in 2016? I think it was but the still weren’t as good as RHCP should be with their back catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 7, 2021 Report Share Posted October 7, 2021 My only time seeing The Strokes was headlining Gig on the Green off the back of one album, which seems like an unfair comparison to potentially seeing them now with a lot of material under their belts.

Karlos12345 Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Rock En Seine doesn‘t have room for RATM anymore. At least not after R+L as in 2020. Runs from 25-28 August. And if they have them on the 25th they‘d have to play two shows back-to-back if they want to do R+L. Something they didn‘t have on their itinerary from 2020.

Tame Impala would be some booking but wouldn't they lose their light show if it was anything other than a post 9pm headline slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Well the Rock En Seine doesn’t give us any indication of who will be at R&L, sigh. Either RATM will play the Thursday of Rock En Seine or not at all, I don’t think this will affect their chances of played R&L. If they’ve chosen 1 it’ll be R&L as it’ll be a bigger pay check for two shows and I can’t see RATM not coming to Europe. Tame Impala will be at APE as I think it’s already been confirmed they’re doing the end of August dates again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
