Is Zara Larsson even touring next year? Seems like she'd need new music to extend her tour.

It blows my mind but f they do another early reveal we can get the lineup next month already.

 

And I agree with the earlier comment that The Strokes are actually more likely for Mad Cool next year.

We're really lacking heritage alternative acts for next year (Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pulp, Pavement etc.) unless they surprise us with a reunion or some other band goes on tour - The Strokes are seemingly the only realistic one that fits the mold currently.

Elastica is definitely a heritage alternative act that appears to be reforming.

How is Slayyyter even close to being a headliner?

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Had somebody here already taken on the role of the proud Slayyyter hayyyter? If not, i'll volunteer. Third rate Kesha music.

DIIV are back with a new album. Just do it.

Produced by A.G. Cook too.

When it comes to legacy alternative acts I hope they bring the Afghan Whigs. Those newly released songs are incredible and classic Whigs sound

She pulled in 50k people at Lollapalooza, she's definitely Addison Rae level in terms of popularity.

Addison Rae's management made her a headliner at Euro fests this summer by not accepting anything less than that. I think that was also doable because she was already a famous name. In comparison, Slayyyter would be a harder sell to the general public on the top line.

Addison Rae has 33m instagram followers, Slayyyter 667k. Also 15 to 7,5 million spotify listeners with Addison's last release being more than a year ago. Obviously these metrics aren't everything, but still there is a big gap in popularity between the two.
