Wishful thinking is for one of the two.

We gonna get Nickelback

 Foo fighters would be great but are we hoping for too much? ?

Would love the Strokes. Growing up I was a massive Foo Fighters fan (Still am) but my god they need to give it a break! I have no desire to see them again for a solid 5 or so years. 

[Naran Jitu]

Strokes 90%

Killers 10%

[foolee]

The bands that went through my head were The Strokes, Foo Fighters, The Killers, RHCP and MCR.

[Red Day]

The offspring?

[Dietediet]

To me this describes The Strokes. They've often been described as having defined (indie) rock for the next decade. 

FF/RHCP have already been scoring hits in the '90s. And I wouldn't consider MCR/The Killers to be defining acts for rock music.

Don’t forget it’s a fan quote. I’m really hoping for The Strokes, but somehow I’m afraid they won’t do European festivals for two years in a row. 

i fear for The Killers. 

[lighthouse]

Praying for The Strokes.

Fearing The Killers.

When i was in year 7 (the 2000s) My Chemical Romance were 100% the defining rock band. I grew up listening to them and paramore, fall out boy etc and whatever your definition of rock is, MCR were leading the way on this emo movement.

Could be but that would be their first confirmed show for Europe which would be quite a coup for Mad Cool (unless they announce other shows overnight).

Wait, what? Don't think I can name a single MCR song. Defining, c'mon.

[Superunknown]

MCR's peak was 2006, certainly when most of their hits came out, could argue 1 or 2 from the 2004 album, surely you'd consider that mid 2000's. 

Strokes, massive debut album in 2001, with their biggest hits now absolute classics, makes far more sense than MCR.

[activean]

From that description i would say The Killers, 2004-2010 was their prime

Edit: my bad, it does say "early 2000's", so The Strokes makes more sense

Thinking is: 

• Gonna be about and likely with a new album
• Never played Mad Cool
• Great fit in terms of style
• If they do play a Spanish festival, there aren't many other options. Played BBK this year so they won't be there. Primavera wouldn't have them these days. Beni is an option but I'm not sure if that's even confirmed to be happening. Mad Cool most logical imo

Of course, they could just not play european festivals, but if they do, I'd be surprised if they don't play Mad Cool.

All of the above plus:

• The clue fits perfectly

Strokes tomorrow, it's time.

'Defined rock music in the early 2000s'

That is one hell of stretch to get to Jimmy Eat World lol

Haha, that would be a very, very cruel joke. 'Rock defining' amirite? And what are their absolute classics then?

I think The Strokes would be the only really fitting name here. That's a rock defining act.

One clue was about an incredible live act.. And it turned out to be Jamie Cullum... Scenes when it's papa roach

For people of a certain age, The Middle, Pain, Hear You Me, Sweetness, Bleed American etc.

I'm not a huge fan myself.

[swelsbyuk]

That description definitely does not describe The Killers.

I mean... Bleed Americans is... it is a good a one, tho....

 

Anyway, I already started my MCR youtube shitfest revival in the office, I'm holding my cringe at I'm Not Okay's video, so it better be something with some eyeliner on for tomorrow, or that pack of razor blades bought on Amazon's Black Friday week will be for nothing.

I'm 30 and I've only ever heard of The Middle. Don't know which agegroup is familiar with that band.

But on to of that, 'rock defining'? Aren't they just another little bland pop punk band from yesteryear?

I will die on this hill ?   MCR are for Emo-rock what The Strokes are for Indie-rock. The difference imo is emo faded like a trend whilst indie is still alive and kicking. 

I've also just seen you're 30 so we are coming at this from different perspectives entirely. When I was 12 MCR were huge
