Rock En Seine & Zurich Open Air Replaced by Cypress Hill at RES. Pretty much a straight swap haha. Replaced by Faber at Zurich... No me neither.

Well indeed... and to be honest I don't have high hopes if we need to replace her at MIjas with the disparity already between MIjas and Kalorama.

xxialac Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 First Aid Kit look free for both. Would be quite prestigious to double headline given the other names, plus the money too... it feels not unresolvable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't put any hopes in something really headliner-wise like Blur or Arcade Fire (even if a little part of me was dreaming) and I was honestly thinking about M83 as they're free that night, they're from Paris and they're in Switzerland the night before. Cypress Hill are a strange replacement as they have a completely different fanbase from F+TM and some of them are asking for a refund. It's always really difficult to replace an headliner a few days before... Anyways, I'll have fun, my girlfriend a little less then she expected 😬 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be the 2 for me! I bought these tickets spontaneously because of Florence playing at the end of me being in Spain on a training course for the summer. Then when I saw Kalorama I wished I'd bought tickets for that. And also, the training course was cancelled and now I've been in Athens but going to Spain from here for Mijas and now Florence might not be going.... hahahaha. Cursed!!

YYY's make sense due to their dates - can't see it helping ticket sales much as they're a smaller band. Blur you'd imagine would request to play their album in full again if they replaced them. Would be easier for them to find someone on tour to do both the Kalorama and CM dates I'd imagine but then who's out there that would fit the bill?

gigi21 Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Regarding Yeah Yeah Yeahs I remember something about the art director of Vodafone Paredes De Coura telling on a radio show a few months ago that he was booking them but then they had to shorten their European Tour to only 4 shows due to personal reasons. I won't place my bet on them adding more shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Kalorama have Aphex Twin on Florence's day so they can get away with making them headliners and getting a smaller band to replace them. (Like happened with the foals at one of the other festivals Florence has cancelled). But Mijas really doesn't have anyone which comes close to the size of Florence on her day... I think they are going to find it difficult if she can't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Think we need to temper expectations. They would prefer not to splurge on Blur etc and in any case probably not even possible at such short notice. They could even e.g. move Foals to the headline spot on the final day if they want to be really tight about it. But I expect them to get someone...a bit average.

VCF Posted August 21, 2023 Report Share Posted August 21, 2023 Seems like her EU tour ended this weekend in Portugal but no festival tried to get Lorde? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Comino Royuela Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Does anyone know if in order to pick the wristband on the campside you have to stay on the campside and have a campside ticket? Or the stand is outside the campside and it’s not necessary? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was the most logical replacement for Florence but for some reasons it didn't happen during these two weeks, so it won't happen later, I think.

Blur cost a fortune compared to Florence I think - would probably blow all chance of this year's fest making any kind of profit They'd be the absolute last choice - i reckon they'd rather just get a sh*t replacement band honestly and deal with the backlash vs booking blur and losing money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Prodigy have to be another reasonable bet. Already on their radar with Kalorama, they missed some gigs recently (but now better) so perhaps open to 'catch up' and headline and probably not too price prohibitive (cheaper than FATM for sure). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
