They'd be the biggest band on the bill but did Blue Dot, same capacity as GM, a couple of years ago so aren't opposed to doing these mid sized festivals. Does the fact that one of them is a Cardiff date effectively rule them out though? I think others said similar for Idles given their tour dates as well.

lessthanwill1 Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Wonder if The Congos will end up on the line up. Playing quite a lot this summer, including a London show on the Thursday following Green Man weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebwax Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Blonde Redhead have just announced more August dates, which would line them up nicely for Saturday or Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That *does* sound unreliable, especially as she's about to play a 600 capacity London gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a Brits Week small venue show, she played Brixton Academy on her 2022 tour. I don't think she'll headline, but it's not a fair comparison to make.

Also which festivals are going to book them? They've tapped into a whole new fanbase who will come in droves to see them. Feels like they might me more suited to The Glastonburys, The Readings and the London day festivals instead of Greenman/EOTR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw they were playing in Las Vegas in April and Oakland in July, so that "final" gig didnt mean much. Nothing in the UK sadly but we can all hope 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
