le marchand de sable Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 2 hours ago, jannybruck said: They generally didn't in the past unless they were a friend of the festival, but after the pandemic artists are extending touring cycles much longer – a lot of the ones already announced for festivals next year are on their second year of touring and their profile has raised significantly since last summer. So I'm almost certain there'll be a couple of repeats. And don't forget last year's line-up was kind of rara avis, since many of the artists were booked (and supposed) to play in 2020 and 2021, and finally played in 2022. Weyes Blood for example, was supposed to presents her Titanic Rising album in 2020, finally did it in 2022, but this year has a new album to tour with. It wouldn't be weird for a band to play in 2020 and again in 2023, and given last year there were two weekends (with twice the quantity of acts), this year may have more repetitions than previous editions. There usually are also other cases where the festival approaches a group/artist in their early steps, and then they take off and their hype increases and book them again for the next year, like Little Simz who played in 2019 and was rebooked for 2020 (and Disclosure in 2013-2014), and I think this could be the case for Fred Again... And Finally, there are bands who finally couldn't manage to play in 2022 as Japanese Breakfast, Clairo, Turnstile, Bikini Kill (and Porridge Radio who played solo but promised a proper show with the whole band) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Or alternatively perhaps as no one is pressing charges and there's no criminal case pending, in theory they could could bring a legal case against the festival cancelling their contract and would win - but wouldn't do this in practice as the publicity generated would be so damaging.

Even for an act like Arcade Fire, whose fan base is relatively aware of such issues, only a small proportion of fans will actually boycott them. On another note: The Cardigans have just been announced for pipfest Oso, June 15th - 17th.

Sure they never would have been booked in their heyday. Have a great back catalogue and tons of catchy tunes.

Arcade Fire have become less and less relevant and are nevertheless very expensive. There is much more promising names for PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damo101 Posted November 24, 2022 Report Share Posted November 24, 2022 Saw arcade fire a couple of weeks ago and they were pretty poor compared to other times. Dunno if it was because the new album is not great or what. The other interesting thing about that gig was the amount of free tickets floating around outside the gig. They seem to have lost their shine a bit, whether that’s down to the accusations or they’re a bit jaded I don’t know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally it rightly pissed many people off that they didn't offer refunds although with Feist dropping out, the shows lost a lot of value, being heavily overpriced already. They had such a great legacy and Win Butler has been destroying that with more and more stupid and indefensible actions, from wildly overestimating their relevance to being an outright asshole Edited November 24, 2022 by Quadrophobia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not defending the underlying actions but I felt the new album was received by the critics and public alike as a "return to form" after the abominable Everything Now. And they haven't suddenly become a poor live act. If you liked them before, they're no different now. Agree that Primavera won't book them.

This "Sabina" becomes interested in Butler after she discovers he's famous, cheats on her boyfriend in the process, and then complains about not being happy. This is just relationship drama.
