Foo Fighters / Led Zeppelin type band

Was just listening to our custom made playlist on Spotify, before Robert Plant and Alison Krause came on.

To my shock the wife didn’t know who he was and this led me to play her some led zeppelin songs.

Looking at the lineup no one jumps out at me that is a similar kind of band to the ones in the topic or haven’t I just discovered them yet?

If you mean hard rock then no, Aerosmith where going to scratch that itch. Maybe they will announce someone else, I was hoping for Judas Priest but their tour dates mean they are unlikely 

If you mean classic rock then the closest you have would be Paul McCartney and Noel Gallagher. I still think Jack White is likely. People on here seem convinced there is a missing sub for the Pyramid. It makes sense to me he did not want to be announced until his London dates sell out.

BTEC Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet are in the UK over Glastonbury weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if they rocked up on the Sunday

Genuine question how big are GVF here? I see them get big billings in the US and EU but they never pop up in the UK / I have no indication of what following they have here.

Not too sure. Looks like they've sold out the Ally Pally and two nights at Apollo Manchester in June. I guess they're reasonably popular, maybe not as they are elsewhere though. Could definitely see a decent Other or John Peel placing for the Sunday

They seem to be one of these bands who don’t play UK festivals - maybe because they tend to headline/ play just below headline at international festivals. Can’t see what festivals they’d do here other than download or Glastonbury. I can’t see them doing APE or anything like that.

GVF on either Friday or Sunday would be good.

Jack White fills that spot nicely, would be surprised if he's not on the poster.

No Aerosmith or QOTSA makes it a bit light on for guitar rock, otherwise.

NIN would be awesome , and they are in the area, just depends how much "exclusive" means these days?

Not that I think there’s any chance of them playing, but was their show at Eden listed as an exclusive? Or are you talking about the Hellfest exclusive?

As a Zeppelin obsessed Foo Fighters fan at the tender age of 17 when I attended that gig.. genuinely had never experienced a greater thrill. Didn't come down from that high for weeks. And Ramble On, which followed this, was my absolute favourite Zeppelin tune at that time (it's still up there).

It's been a long time since I (heh) watched that and it is DEEPLY UPSETTING to realise that this was almost 14 years ago 😨

That's my question really. I thought their  Hellfest gig was supposed to be exclusive, but then what is Eden? Is it a UK exclusive?

I believe Hellfest is a European festival exclusive, hence them "getting away" with the Eden Project as just regular gigs

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
