I would be delighted with any of them. The only other two that came to mind were The Rapture and The Walkmen.

Thought the Walkmen were broken up? Don't get me wrong I would love them.

as i understand it, and who knows for sure, they went on hiatus - but i guess even broken up bands can reform (crosses fingers)

[Swanmob]

Fair enough, yeah let's hope so, would be great for this festival, great swagger and style, not unlike Interpol.  

[thomas9790]

So.... Rage Against The Machine, then?

yeh - there's a connection there somewhere if memory serves - someone from one of the two bands that became the walkmen went on to be in interpol, or something

Tom morello was in mad cool last year and rage have played bbk already (I think) 

I reckon its a good call.

Are they really big enough to headline Coachella?? I must say I'm surprised

In 2007 they did their reunion again at Coachella. They headlined back then as well

13 years passed, in which they didn't do much. I get it that it's a reunion, but nostalgia can take you only that far.

Still seems wierd to.me

Rage played Cruilla in Barcelona in 2018 too so Primavera seems like a good next step. I'd love for them to play.

Rage Against the Machine makes perfect sense, NIN dropping out, Jane's Addiction being close to playing in 2010, this being Primavera's 20th year.  They would make for an awesome headliner.

I think Rage is very very very expensive, I don't know if Gabi wants to pay that. 

[Friend Chicken]

Rage Against The Machine headlined the very first Coachella as well as 2007. This would be their third appearance at the festival.

I do find this a bit amusing and paradoxical of them

Of course because your favourite band probably Is Taylor Swift... 

[Andrej]

Would be surprised to see RATM in Europe next summer, maybe later in August? Most of festivals budgets for June / July are spent, and RATM will be the most expensive act out next year. Obviously this reunion thing came as a surprise to everyone, only 3-4 weeks ago Prophets of Rage was still looking for shows in Europe, then all of a sudden they were out, and B Real comes out and says band is breaking up. Meaning RATM coming back was a very unexpected thing and came from Zach. Its obviously super political, the only announced shows are close to Mexican border / wall, and all in states with major latino population. Also in a year of new US election. So it could be the band only plays USA next year. 

Very interesting all together, they would be a sure thing for RAR / RIP and Download, but those fests booked headliners before RATM became a possibility. We will see....

How does anybody know how much they cost?

Mmmm.... No.

I actually don't know any Taylor Swift song, but whatever. 

[Orens]

Minimal Compact is another coming back band who never got to play the actual Primavera, playing several gigs starting tonight in Tel Aviv plus Belgium+Paris on the last week of May.

[JedTheHumanoid]

Bradford Cox and Cate Le Bon released an EP together today. 

I'd be very surprised if we wont see Deerhunter on this year's lineup, they've been there about a gazillion times before, and Bradford always talks about how much he loves this festival. Any chance for a double show for him? Cate did one of the pre-festival gigs this year, so also makes sense to see her again this year

Dude don't be sliding into my PMs thanking me for downvotes. It's just odd behaviour. Just be less insulting to posters in this forum.

That's the point, I haven't insulted anyone! however I think we should talk about these in PM without disturbing others

Buddy you were the one trying to rip into his music taste. We don't do that. Take the downvotes and we'll move on

Guys, if someone (provocatively) asks if RATM can headline a festival, allow me to make a joke (without insults ..) however,no problems,love you all ?
