I'd take a few from there as I'm well into country music so holding out hope for a strong showing of that genre in 2022.

Glastonbury never really strong enough on country or Americana for me.

Metallica fans left scratching their heads to think where they could be playing in the UK.

The triumphant return of Sonisphere and Black Crow

Missed this. In that case I reckon they might skip UK entirely if this is a festival-only tour. 

I pm’d him

I had to zoom in to read ‘Mount Westmore: Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, E-40 and Too $hort’. Sounds class.

Now that would be a good West Holts headline act

Get Michael Franti across for West Holts.

Oof, yeah. Seconding this. They'd be a must see.

[Suprefan]

Anyone want to think that the Beach Life fest is worth the £350? Cause thats what theyre asking for a regular non vip 3 day ticket. And it ends at 10:30 pm each night. Single days are £150 after fees.

Tbh festival prices have been getting steeper and steeper as the years go by and America has always seemed a step ahead of us in that respect, with mid-tier festivals costing major-tier prices, and the pandemic has seemingly pushed things forward a few years, so yeah I’m not too surprised tbh.

If people think it’s too expensive they’ll vote with their feet and wallets. I wouldn’t pay £350 for that festival but I would for one I really wanted to go to.

[Matt42]

Some leaker with a decent track record on Coachella says there’s no guarantee the lineup will come this month so no idea what this means for all the tours and other events waiting to announce.

It looks like for the first time ever Bonaroo is going to announce before Coachella.

[jump]

I already go to Boomtown which costs the same as the major fests depsite not having major headliners so if the £350 middling fest is well curated and is well organized then yeah I'd pay it. Tbh price isn't even one of top 5 things I look at when go to a fest and it not being a 100,000+ crowd is a plus.

Recently here the mid-level festivals are really catching up to the major ones price wise. Boardmasters is pretty much the same as Reading now with a thursday boardmasters ticket costing £225 + fees and its almost sold out too.

Having said that a lot of the smaller festivals are starting to pickup big names but maintain the smaller capacity - Truck would be a good example with stronger headliners than a lot of festivals that are a fair bit bigger.

It’s most likely a fake but let’s mull over possibilities until the real thing drops

If AM were around in June and Glasto were seriously stuck I wonder if having Melvin Benn as a director would come into play…

Forgive me if I’m wrong but AM did tour US first before Europe last time right didn’t they?

Yeah I believe they started in America, I’m not sure if the gigs at Hollywood bowl were the first ones but they were defo early on

Yeah I'd expect Bonnaroo to do better than that.
