Have heard a few people say that Biden could have ran in 2016 but was blocked by Obama to allow Clinton to run...and Biden would have won cause they like him in the rust belt etc and we wouldn't have ever had a Trump president.
So, it's all Obama's fault.
It looks like FIR are headlining the 2nd stage at Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring so is it possible they may want to headline a stage rather than sub and that was the only way of booking them? Just a thought if they do headline 2nd. Would be a good Sleep Token sub though if Bad Omens aren’t coming back.
I think there are 2 categories of people that are complaining. The first and the main one, is the people that wanted Sabrina, Roan and FKA Twigs, but let’s be honest that would be a bit of a stretch for Porto to have such big names, both in terms of money and logistics.
The second group of people complaining, and I agree with them, are the people that are complaining about the price, 180€ may not seem much for people from outside Portugal, but in Portugal it’s a lot of money and the price will increase even further, in return you get Central Cee and Jamie xx as headliners, both already played at Primavera or others Portuguese festivals recently. I think having Twigs instead of Central Cee would give this lineup another feel.
I do agree this lineup is very consistent and is quite good, but 180€ feels a bit expensive. Also considering that Barcelona ticket was 250€ish when the lineup was released, plus it gets Ciutat, more boiler room names, Auditori and all the other perks, it does feel like Barcelona is a better deal, if you are already willing to pay more.
They still sold out headliner level of tickets, it would be dangerous to put them on 2nd (it already was with Ghost). They really need to upgrade the capacity around the 2nd stage area, in 2023 I was a bit worried with my GF safety, we saw Evanescence and Ghost on there and it was absolutely rammed.
Nope, I would be fine with them opposite Korn for example. I'm hoping they have more stage crossover like they did this yesr compared to the usual all stages except maybe the Dogtooth on one day are shut off for headliner.
