Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2020

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

The Friday bill is very strong but I don't know what I'd do with myself on the Saturday and Sunday. Probably update my Instagram or something. I do like it when the Coachella lineup is released, though. Always seems to ignite festival fever and hopefully the floodgates will open for all other festival lineup announcements now.

Those RATM sets are gonna be incredible.

Agreed, Friday is epic but the other two days not so much. Maybe that's because we're old though 😉 (see other thread for reference) 

To be honest, they could print the words "Rage Against the Machine" on top of a load of dross and I would still totally lose my shit.

That’s quite a gamble on Frank considering how his last shows stank. 

Yeah gotta imagine he’s upped his live show somewhat (and hopefully decided to play more from Channel Orange/his previous projects) as the idea of his last show topping the bill at Coachella seems like a train wreck waiting to happen. 

Hope this means the new album is coming in the first quarter of the year.

Remember in 2013 when a Coachella headliner played in the John Peel tent? That was an odd turn of events (and absolutely banging set).

[jyoung]

Lots of v good stuff at Coachella imo. Of course it has become an easy target for people who like to say the same thing 7327 times ("instagram blah blah blah") but there's some undeniably strong acts on that lineup.

Yeah, despite holding on by my 42 year old fingertips, there comes a point in time when the stark realisation kicks in that you are no longer the target audience! 

Those Rage shows are going to be incendiary, particularly after what's been going on politically in the US recently and especially in the last 24 hours.

Could Danny Elfman be the 'out of left field' act that was mentioned a while ago? Thought that could be a possibility after seeing his announcement earlier.

Yeh right...WTF is that about? I know this isn't the place for this, but Jesus Fucking Christ. 

When do you reckon they're going to announce any potential UK shows? Is that even likely...?

Thought that was Aerosmith in the end no?

Various sources (including festival bookers/organisers) are suggesting no european shows until 2021. Fully expect Download and Glastonbury to be seriously in the frame then, plus maybe a one-off MK Bowl show or something. Let's see if they haven't been arrested by then...

If they’re in Europe next year I could see Download and Reading both throwing some serious cash at them.

Good thing is that they don’t seem to be in it for the money so Glasto has as much chance as anyone.

I considered Reading then I'm not sure if the festival fits the band these days. Download would be favourites cos of the $$$ but I'm sure they'd prefer to get them on a UK exclusive. But as you say, money doesn't necessarily seem to be the determining factor with Rage. They're absolutely made for that Pyramid.

Tfw you're enough of a sad case to recognise the name Hatsune Miku and know where it's from, but not enough of a sad case to understand how the fuck it is on a Coachella lineup.

Dunno. He played in the UK in November and in the run up they were giving the tickets away for the Edinburgh show for free.

Oh...was it? That's not that leftfield, is it?

Tbf I can't remember word for word what the "slightly leftfield" info was now. It could well have been Aerosmith.

That was for A Nightmare before Christmas live rather than a set taking in all of his film scores though and did sell two nights at Wembley arena on the same tour. Would be excellent if he was there though.

In Edinburgh it was a Danny Elfman at the Movies thing with the RSNO - though looking at it he was just 'appearing' at it rather than conducting the whole affair.

So you're saying RATM for JPT headliners yea?

[Matt42]

The lineup is BANGING.

We don’t really get much crossover anymore but Coachella lineups always look stronger in retrospect. I reckon a lot of that lower bill will be taking huge slots in the future. Also a good way to know who to keep your eye on this summer.

Surprised at how low Lil Nas X is on that poster.

Some are weirdly low. You wouldn't even know Doja Cat was playing!

He’s really low on the country sister festival stagecoach as well. Maybe he’s just not arsed about where he is placed.

Still haven't forgiven him for cancelling his Primavera set a few years back. He's notoriously flakey.

[whateverworksout]

speaking frank being the third headliner into existence, it’s what I deserve, train wreck or not it would be an honour
