I know a lot of those acts and I like a lot of those but it seems there aren't that many live acts at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanh Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 The more I look at it, the more I rate it. For a pretty average touring year I think they have done rather well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 There are some names that interest me, but for the rest it has turned into an influencer's paradise.

Akujin Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 The only major festival that managed to ever put out a line up where I haven’t heard of any of the headliners. Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrej Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Personally, musically, this does nothing for me. I havent heard of 80% of these names. Culturally, and looking at it from the groundbreaking level, this is still by far the best and most out there line up in the world. They have the biggest grossing US stadium act, Bad Bunny, Spanish speaking artist. They have a K Pop South Korean all female act for a headliner. And the third one being a super elusive dude that nobody has seen for like 7-8 years, super exclusive booking. I mean, their second line is acts like Bjork, Gorillaz, Rosalia etc, artists that would headline everywhere else in the world. It will sellout, and it will sell tons of tickets internationally, in Latin America, Asia etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And whilst their second lines has some big (and small) names, it's only as unlike most festivals they only put one name on their top line. Finally, Frank Ocean may seem 'super exclusive' today but watch him now announce a tour of all the usual venues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't put too much money on that last point 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadrophobia Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) While Bad Bunny and Blackpink do nothing for me personally, this is the absolut perfect headline trio right now. The biggest Pop Act in the world, the superstars of the fastest growing genre and the architect of the most zeitgeisty sound of the last decade. Below that it is much better than many other years, too. Gorillaz, Björk, Jai Paul, Porter Robinson, Burna Boy, Chemical Brothers, Kaytranada, Blondie, Charli XCX, Labrinth and Underworld make for a pretty solid second line too. Cool names among the undercard too. Edited January 11, 2023 by Quadrophobia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlierc Posted January 11, 2023 Report Share Posted January 11, 2023 Gorillaz as a sub just looks wild to me. Having either not listened to or not heard of most of the bill, further comment is limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still the same, you just like the past too much. everyone who says they dont know all these acts really isnt listening to much nee music at all. The point of a festival is to discover and not just expect 90% of the talent to be you same ol same ol. So what influencers are there playing.

neacaisa Posted January 12, 2023 Report Share Posted January 12, 2023 i rate this lineup quite highly tbh. lots of interesting names in the undercard, very hyped names as headliners (I don't really like bad bunny too much, but BLACKPINK should be interesting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
