Rich88 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Biffy for Thursday headline? pretty mainstream nowadays and a clear diary as far as I can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Just now, Rich88 said: Biffy for Thursday headline? pretty mainstream nowadays and a clear diary as far as I can see? Not big enough in Belgium for that. They've skipped Belgium sine 2017 and a show in Brussels (2k people). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 I know it's wishful thinking and I'm going to be in the minority, but I'd love for The Offspring to replace either Stromae or Slowthai. Wishful thinking as they have a substantial gap in their European tour which while it would be possible, it would seem to go against the break that they have planned. Furthermore, can't see them in the Barn, as they would demand main stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich88 Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Had no idea how popular they were (or weren’t) in Belgium. Fits with the British mainstream Thursday vibe though. Maybe mid level and push others up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they are playing a month later in Belgium They play in Amsterdam on June 27th so they'll be in the neighbourhood for sure. But on Friday (June 30) they play at Roskilde and that reduces the chances substantially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohad Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 With a new Blur album, it seems reasonable they plan a more broad tour next summer. I don't see how RW24 is not on their agenda. Maybe that will prevent a potential emergency booking? With that being said, if the option exists - fuck public opinion, gimme Damon every year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexR Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Does anyone know when we will likely get an announcement for it? Surely must be soon if they want to try to sell out Thursday day tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that both Lokerse Feesten and their standalone EU shows are selling poorly proves RW made the right choice. I don't think Blur are still fit to headline a major fest in the Benelux.

Shame about their diminishing status in the Benelux countries. Their Werchter concert in 2013 is easily in my top 3 concerts of the festival. On the other hand Werchter didn't sell out Thursday with Stromae either😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name taken Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Big fan, but BLUR is a nineties band. it’s 2023 nowadays. The release of Parklife is 1994. Younger crowds don’t give a damn about Blur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Younger crowds don’t give a damn about Blur. I don't know why Blur are not more popular in Belgium but I don't agree with this as a justification. Many (if not most) bands that are considered obvious headliners/big sellers/stadium fillers today are actually from the 90s or earlier. Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Foo Fighters, and so on... Guns N' Roses have released one album (in 2008 without much success) since '93. Maybe Britpop never became a thing in BE I don't know... Edited May 23, 2023 by Floyd_Ams 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchtree29 Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Song 2 is in Fifa 23 game. It's still a big song in the new generation. 672 million streams is not that low for a 90s band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
