[AlexOvd]

Weakest Mad Cool in the last years. A bit strange line up.

The Roots plssss i am on my knees, West Holts sub/headliner

Yeah this really stood out to me - notably below acts who are being discussed as potential Other stage headliners

They're bigger in the UK though then they are in Europe.

That Mad Cool lineup is the worst I’ve seen in years. Just like Primavera, it’s extremely random.

And I’m not a The 1975 fan by any means but even I can agree their placement is strange. I highly doubt it but the thought of them headlining Glastonbury only to be on the undercard below MGK a couple weeks later is very funny.

Interesting to see where The 1975 are placed

Its just regional differences. 1975 headlined Sziget in 2019 for instance, have done Reading headline slot twice.

They won't accept Other, they'd have to be mad to imo

RHCP really do have some insane guest lists. The Strokes, The Roots, Iggy Pop, The Mars Volta, Thundercat, obviously not all at once but that's bonkers.

They must be offering a lot of money

Some interesting names for Mad Cool that I don’t think we’ve seen anywhere yet. Sigur Ros, Lil Nas X, Genesis Owusu and Gayle all seem like possible Glastonbury booking. 

Have the Yeah Yeah Yeahs announced anything yet? I thought they might have popped up at Mad Cool but they seem awfully quiet so far.

YYY’s only have one date in the diary next year, somewhere in The States in May.

Could Rufus Du Sol headline the park one night?

 

 

 

 

No. Their production is too big. At the  very least West Holts cause you need screens. Would be fine at Other but of course nobody would think thats possible.

I thought the Mad Cool lineup looked great

Looks good to me, I'd be very happy with most of that.

Ok, but that doesnt change the fact you couldnt fit their show on the JP stage anyway. An artist thats been playing main stages at festivals and large outdoor venues for the past 18 months isnt going to suddenly neuter their production and shove it into a tent.

Also playing Tinderbox Festival in Denmark on the Saturday of Glastonbury weekend. Which I think rules them out, not least as Saturday felt like the hardest day to predict (AM feel nailed on for the Friday due to their tour schedule gap while Elton's got the Sunday).

Heaps of artists neuter their production for glastonbury every year - especially those that play lower down the bill.

Nah as someone who saw Rufus just 4 days ago he’s right, it’s a big production and the main thing they have going for them. They wouldn’t really fit or work in JP and they wouldn’t play Park with no screens.
 

Think they’re a potential Other sub maybe - don’t think their particular brand of 00’s style happy clappy singalong dance music is well suited for West Holts.

Would they be booked for other sub? Like as in the genre - swear theres not been a dancey other sub remotely recently?

I just checked back to 2014 and not seeing anything - Years and Years this year as close as it gets but that is pretty far off i think

Nah, which is why I don’t really think they’ll be booked despite the fact theyre a big touring international act in a year of slim pickings - they just don’t really fit. Other Sub only place I think works but as you say don’t suit that slot.

Maybe pop up for for a DJ set.

Maybe they kind of fit a west holts headliner slot, but it wouldn’t be one I’d endorse.

That bit about it being a while since they've played Werchter can't be true can it?

Seeing how much they get played on Belgian radio, a year without is an eternity...

When I was last in Brussels even the Mannekin Pis was playing a little music box version Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors as it widdled.

A Nicolas Jaar or AAL set would be great too.
