Definitely - theres plenty of those about too ... Jamie XX would be disappointing though he's rubbish live i've near unanimously heard

Prodigy are back on the road as of last night, check their instagram

I know, I posted it on the Kalorama thread. What I mean is that they may have had an exclusivity clause in their contract.

Jamie XX is ok live. Kasabian would be a good substitution - nowhere near as big as Florence in Spain but cheaper, on tour and a large proportion of the crowd would be Brits I'd imagine so they'd go down well.

Think the point instead was that it would be poor form to cancel as headliners of a local festival only to suddenly pop up as headliners of a different one nearby a couple of weeks later.

I think the biggest problem they’ve got is that the line up is pretty scant for big names on that final day besides Florence. They have to get a like-for-like replacement really in terms of size or they will face a lot of backlash.

Fair to say the lack of a refund hasn't gone down well with the Zurich Open Air crowd

Kasabian not a bad shout

Easy to smuggle a soft bag with spirits in inside a towel or strict checks on entry?

[Northern_Lights]

Does anyone know how long the queue is likely to be for wristband collection on Thursday evening? I do not want miss Siouxsie (20.15) and can only get there for about 7pm.

I see you aren't allowed to bring in food. Had thought they were relaxed about that in Spain...

Last year at Primavera, one day security also checked my gum pack to make sure nothing is hidden there.

On the other days I was only lightly inspected tho

[Drums Please Fab]

I have a 3 day ticket + camping, but im not actually camping.

Can I collect my wristband at the festival or do I need to go to the camping area first?

There's no way they should be able to get away with this as the lineup for Saturday. Curious to see what they will do if she pulls out!

On Instagram the Cala Mijas account has started replying to people telling them to relax. Either she’s going to be fine or they’re buying time…

Can’t help but wonder why they wouldn’t say something less vague if so.

And on the last post they didn’t allow comments.

For those who attended last year: when should I arrive to the stage if i want to be somewhere in the front rows for the strokes?

boygenius would need to stay in europe just a few more days to fill in for Florence.

I’d have thought way easier to find an act that was already planning to be in Europe.

They probably won’t worry about matching the genre.

boygenius would have flights, all their logistics etc booked to take their gear and crew back to the US most likely

its not as easy as them just staying a few more days

RW got Mumford and Sons to change their plans and come to Europe earlier to replace Stromae. You can never know

I don’t think the OP was saying it was impossible but that it was highly unlikely

Did not try to imply he did, I'm just not sure if it is as unlikely as you imagine 🙂

Florence out of Rock en Seine schedule, no announcement 😞

The strokes performance at All Points East is getting panned. A lot of folk left early they were that annoyed by the sound....1000's apparently.

I saw them in 2019 also at APE and then again that Summer so could compare. It wasn’t their performance that was bad, it really was just the sound, so wouldn’t read anything into this.
