For me festivals are for the bands that are very unlikely to do headline shows in Portugal, Green Day, Red Hot, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters (Just a few names for example), all of them hasn’t had a headline show in Portugal for several years, so festivals are really the only way to see bands like this.
Olivia did 2 headline shows less than 6 months ago, wich to me makes this a disapointing 1st announcement.
but this are just my 2 cents
i actually really like Olivia 🙂
It's not that Korn are bad. They're just uninspiring, and probably in 2025, the smallest headliner download have ever had. I have been at 2010, 14/15/16/17/18/19 2022 and 2023 downloads (11-13 uni years, no money) and if it is GD, ST and Korn as headliners, that is definitely the 3 weakest set in history.
I appreciate that is subjective - but i like all 3 of those bands, so feel it's not from any personal bias. Ive never seen green day so will at least be getting a day ticket for that. but as has been previously mentioned. korn have done nothing to elevate to headline since their last appearance. i feel you can get away with sleep token OR Korn alongside Green day and one other 'premium' act. but both? this will be a low selling event. Download is my second home but I think copping has had his day. if he can't get the bands that european festivals and US festivals get, then move on.
My first guesses were 30 STM or MM. I don't see why FIR would get a bad rep. A heavier rock band at a heavier festival.
I can get passed Busted but McFly no.
