Almost like you have another bizarre agenda! i know madge hasn't headlined before but it still doesn't feel like an imaginative booking it feels like a tick-list booking. gnR last year reeked of desperation.

GnR are one of the biggest rock bands in the world, it doesn't matter if it was desperate it was a good booking. Madonna isn't "imaginative" because every year she gets mentioned, and she's never done it. Mightn't be imaginative, but would literally be unique, different and new. 1 hour ago, Neil said: talking heads would be fresh, because they haven't headlined loads already, i don't have three names to give you, cos i'm not the boker, and i'd hope the bookers are be a more knowledgable and imaginative than me. Talking Heads would be fresh because they've been split up for over 30 years and have outright said they won't be getting back together, so also impossible. Also, for someone preaching contemporary, that is hilariously hypocritical. If you want contemporary then start talking Fred Again..., Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, SZA, Drake, Olivia Rodrigo - although I'm sure you'd have an issue with them headlining as well.

A fun show maybe, but also a comically bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
