I know, I'm just asking with the intent of understanding the veracity of the original suggestion!

Bad Bunny, Iron Maiden + 1

I guess the question is timing. Somebody elsewhere was saying European stuff is being announced by Foos tomorrow but maybe it'll be bundled in with the 3pm announcement, which looks like it'll be a US stadium tour.

I'm wondering if it will be the UK/US stadium dates today, and then the euro festivals tomorrow.

US Tour in August, September. UK/EU Tour wouldn't make sense after that. Particularly UK as it pisses down with rain all the time so outdoor gigs would be bleak in late Sept onwards.

Points to UK/EU tour before the US dates I think (fingers crossed)

So far it's just a dozen or so stadium shows in the US and Canada. Was missing a few big markets like New York and LA too so can imagine there'll be more dates coming up. 

 

If NOS are announcing tomorrow I can imagine it'll be coordinated with other festivals and events.

no, too soon for them to come back (they headlined in 2024)

Or Pukkelpop / Reading & Leeds / Wembley sandwiched in the middle of the US tour. 

 

Nos/RW/Mad Cool seems the most logical option.

There were quite a few late September shows at Wembley and Tottenham this year tbf. Though I about this year has been an odd one with the fact it was so dry between Easter and September. 

 

But yeah. If it's true they're at this, that points to a June/July Euro run.

War on Drugs.  Fantastic booking

[TheNewUnion]

MINT! Love them, the best sounding live band I have ever seen

It's definitely not one that sticks out. 

[flowernigiri]

When you're in october and your secondary stage has TWOD and Pixes and (I emphasize the next part considering the last few years) you're NOS Alive, I can't say you're not doing a good job

Pixies are a great booking but it's a shame they will clash with FATM. I would have rather they were on the 9th or 10th.

[TheNewUnion]

In the tent too, incredible.

...everyone who? everyone that follows a middle aged man with a tendency to ramble on public television posting shutterstock images of cute numbers? C'mon. There's clearly an embargo at play in regards to FF. We aren't even in november yet. There's still time.

Were they? NOS aren’t announcing FF, the FF will announce NOS and all their other dates IF they’re playing 

[49Lawson]

Fantastic news to see The War On Drugs about next year!

 

Them playing in a tent would have the potential to be the best set of any festival weekend

Dude, judging from your comments this festival is not for you anymore. This is not a let down.
