Won't be daytime in the sun though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we'll be knackered but also we need to stay up late to get ready for the days ahead. 12 minutes ago, MeMeMeM said: Saw them once a few years ago. Very energic, and a lot of fun.

And only once I think has a set been announced <1 hour before. A few times, they've been announced that morning. So generally checking on here, say, the lunchtime of festival days and you'll be good. It might be they don't do any secret shows this year but I'd be surprised. Question, where did those acts exactly play? Since the schedule is alright full, I wouldn't even know where some sets might even be played? Best thing to do is install the app, I see?

The secret Arcade Fire show (which I managed to miss entirely, despite being nearby) was held on a stage specially built for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be able to perform at W2 D2, but the possibility is pretty slim for W1 D2. Probably Little Simz or Caribou will be move to Mordor to replace them.

JedTheHumanoid Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Currently on their site only Boston and Chicago are canceled. Omikron can be very light if you're vaccinated, a week should be enough But if, god forbid, they can bump Parquet Courts or Little Simz up to their spot and save us from that awful clash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I don’t think they are going to make it. Beach house are free… if they just moved them one day earlier. They would clash with earl instead than with Tyler which is also a pain but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I think they will feel more prone to look for a last minute replacement though. Us on forums moaning about turnstile and massive attack is a thing. Thousands of casual festivalgoers who ask for refunds because of the strokes is another thing (same would happen with tame impala) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Just checked and Tame impala are free on Friday w1. Please no 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipan Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 So Girl Red, Charli XCX and The Strokes on the verge of health related cancellation. Which of my remaining must-see acts will be targeted next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Fucking hell, we all knew there was a likelihood of acts dropping out because of COVID but The Strokes are essentially the big draw of the festival. I would say surely if they pull out they’ll have to replace them, but after Massive Attack I’m just not so sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 As a Belgian, I’ve waited 21 years to see The Strokes. I only go WK1, so next week should finally be the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFullShaboo Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 Even if they do decide to replace them I’m not sure there’s anyone who could fill the void for me. Absolute gutted. LCD or Arcade fire probably the only two who could soften the blow. Or Phoenix and YYYs as a two for one replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primavera is still a week away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
