Yeah at this point its pretty clear FF were headlining several festivals in Europe including Hellfest and NOS Alive.

 

That being said the FF probably cancelled the tour when they cancelled the US shows they had this year after the news about Grohl affair came out and i think Covoes had enough time to come up with some decent headliner.

Foos did Hellfest in 2024 so I would be surprised if they were down to play it again next summer.

She is playing in London on the 10th and 11th. 

 

Seems impossible to me. 

Ah fair enough, I had not actually looked to see if she was even on tour to be fair. Felt like that would have been the kind of booking they could wait to announce as she'll shift tickets regardless

She would save the festival for sure. 

 

Reminds me that 5 years ago, the headliners for NOS Alive 2020 were Kendrick Lamar, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish and Da Weasel (was a huge comeback in Portugal). That was probably the last chance to book Taylor and Billie.

Huge set of headliners actually.

Really shows how tastes differ. I can see how those 3 would be a HUGE set of headliners, but I cannot see a way that I would be happy to pay to see them, not my taste at all. I think that 2020 was the ONLY time that could have happened too.

I would love to see Billie, but I know I would hate the experience due to the constant screaming of the crowd. 

Kendrick and Taylor are not my cup of tea. At least Taylor before working with Aaron Dessner. I actually enjoy some of her work after 2020.  But they would be huge for Alive even in 2020.

Finneas not playing with her it's also a strange news

He already announced that he wouldn't be part of some of her shows, due to his own tour.

to me it shows how confused and devoid of identity festivals have become.. Back in the day, most festivals would cater to a specific audience. You'd have rock festvials, pop festivals etc... Sure, there'd be different genres, but you knew the audience they were aiming their product at... These days, the older festivals have all lost their identity completely and try to cater to all, and this is what we get - bubblegum pop acts sharing a stage with heavy rock and metal bands. It's really quite bizarre when you think abou tit, but I guess that's the world we live in! Ha

Festivals are a business like any other... If Rock bands have increased prices since the pandemic, due to logistics needed, they will book pop/rap artists that will sell the same or more and cost less. 

 

I do not think they are doing that because they want to destroy that identity, but because they need to bet on other things to be sustainable.

I know it isn;t a concious effort to destroy their product and identity... like I said, it's the world we live in these days where music I consoider to be commercial trash is extremely popular. Having said that, there was always mainstream music but the dofference was they had their own festivals. For whatever reason, it's all started to bleed into each other and hardly any festivals these days have a distinct identity. I can't quite put my finger on why because it's not as if the appetite for purely rock or purely pop has gone...

    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
