Good to know we're getting somewhere with this festival after all. Even if, like others, I agree doing so less than a week before Christmas is a bit of an insane time to do it.
And as said, it would be surprising if Olivia Rodrigo isn't on the list.
I'm not sure debating the origin, lore and track record of Massive Attack is a discussion topic best suited to chatting with an angry group of Scots on a train at 3am after they'd presumably waited for 2 hours for a Massive Attack gig that never started because Franz Ferdinand were being a few decibels too loud for their liking.
Impressive adoption of a hell-for-leather attitude huh.
I might've been up for it but was on the wrong side - think the VIP section Alex was unhappy with was on audience left/stage right, which was the opposite side to the one I was on.
I was only at that year's Mad Cool on the Friday but I gathered Josh Homme was similarly unhappy with it the day after during QOTSA's set too.
I think it’s possible. He’s mentioned wanting acts like The Cure & BMTH in the future, he’s friends with both and I’m sure both would headline. MK Bowl holds 60-65k at full capacity (See Foos & Green Day when they did it) so completely possible. I think he plans on growing it so could defo happen.
With Empire of the Sun playing In Romania and Slovakia on the 8th and 10th
looks like they do shows 1 day apart so I still got hope they be there on the 6th, 9th or 11th
