Loads of festivals made announcements today. 🤷

Yeah, but maybe they want to be the one that stands out or something. There is almost never a good time in this current day to make the announcement. If they were worried about Ukraine they shouldve put it out tuesday after all of the news outlets were fawning over McCartney. If its literally because they are concerned theyll be seen as tone deaf, well then everyone else certainly didnt care the last 12 hours.

Kenny showing more signs of activity

I don't think there's been a festival poster with acts like Kendrick/Kanye headlining that I know SO little of the rest of the card. I have probably listened to about 4-5 acts. 

What is good though, is that this probably  means new music/album.

Tbf, aside from the headliners, that festival has almost exactly the same lineup year in year out, and targets a very specific demographic that eats that shit up. There’s a couple of acts there I know/like, but for the most part… not for me!

Kanye and Kendrick headlining the same festival is huge, fair play.

Kendrick opened for Kanye on the Yeezus tour which was loads of fun. And Kanye has to show up anyway.

 Very genre specific festivals like the Rolling Louds show how much a lot of people that casually listen to music dont know is out there or even care for. Same goes for the EDM ones like Electric Daisy Carnival and Creamfields to an extent. Trust me you dont want to go to one of these anyway. Rolling Loud has very much been in the vein of how Travis Scott had been at his own concerts for years. They shoot from the hip and dont care for attendees and all that. In the wake of Astroworld they changed their age requirement  to 18 for one festival and said that they wanted everyone to "rage safely". After that it went right back to 16 and older. And this will be the festival where Travis Scott makes his return, you can guarantee it.

Perhaps it’s obligatory in the hip hop community to call yourself ‘lil’ if you’re a shortarse?

if you started rapping very young, chances are ppl would nickname you "lil" in your community. Lil wayne for example got signed to Cash Money when he was only 13. So that's the main reason. However some newer rappers probably called themselves "lil" just cause it seems like a rapper thing now.

Speaking of, what if he ends up being an out of nowhere booking. They seemingly lost out on Doja Cat so why not get him instead. Puts on an entertaining show.

He's been there before with Miley. Not impossible I guess

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
