David Byrne has always been ahead of AIC in the pecking order. 

That is true, until this week:

(because I'm king of procrastination), here is the the average debut album release year of the top acts, 2017 vs 2018

Arcade Fire	2004
Kings Of Leon	2003
alt-J	2012
Kasabian	2004

= average year of debut album release 2006

QOTSA	1998
David Byrne	1981
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds	1984
Alice In Chains	1990
Interpol	2002

= average year of debut album release 1991

okay back to work, bye. 

edit: does anyone feel like messaging INmusic on Facebook asking "on Alice In Chains website it says they are playing on Monday 25th, is that correct?"  - if they say yes or no, Tuesday, we have a headliner to come, and if they say Wednesday, we don't. they are sick of me asking so it needs to look like an innocent question from someone new

I’m impressed they got the correct version of their!

So today they published new partner - INA, biggest oil company in Croatia. 

The guy asked: Will they sponsor the new headliner? The answer is "maybe"

 

The saga continues

Could it be:

Monday: QOTSA, David Byrne

Tuesday: Cave, Interpol, St Vincent

Wednesday: New name, AiC

Bad Religion sounds like a strong co-headliner with AIC. but dont think they will be there.

if that new INA sponsor money is huge, i think the festival will try to go after Lana Del Rey for June 27.

INmusic are like that girlfriend that keeps stringing you along even though you know she's bad for you (only to break up with you at the end of summer)

I agree, think LDR is quite possible (if another headliner is even possible), she has that massive mainstream appeal (like KOL/Arcade Fire) that none of the other acts really have this year.

Any new headliner would mean Intepol below Nick Cave though (as @NomadicMan pointed out). So, who's gonna ask about Interpol's day?

In which case the dream is pretty much dead. So look forward to 3 months of competition winners and 'legendary' local bands to be announced everyone. And never forget what they did to us this year with their shady vague bullshit.

right on cue...

[gregory]

I'm so cynical   This sounds pretty good actually, I will check them out  

 

[alan_ts]

What about Idles for an early main slot or for World Stage? They could be the "Slaves" of this edition imo (and I also love them).

edit: they have a big gap in their schedule on InMusic dates.

A friend inside music industry that yesterday was in Zagreb for work says that his sixth sense says Liam Gallagher as last headliner but it's just a suggestion.

Taking into account Liam's voice condition I gues he will take a break before huge Finsbury solo show. But everything possible

My friend asked about Muse on Facebook and they told him: "We'll have Muse, if not this year then in the future ones " 

So yeah, they basically didn't say anything but I'll share

ahahaha sorry unless Muse's career takes a considerable fall they will never play INmusic. What's next, Coldplay?

[Andrej]

i am, on the other hand, pretty sure Muse will headline this in 2019.

I think that's why they said "futures ones"

 

To be fair I can see Muse playing next year, they didn't play in ex Yu since 2007. Inmusic or not, it's time for them to play again
