Community Festival 2020

I hope this KOL gig doesn't sell out straight away and ends up being in a 2 for 1 offer.

If only we could get good deals on all tickets. However, I think KOL in London could be a good seller especially with a few reasonable supports. As usual price will be a factor. In recent years most of  the 2 for 1 offers seem to be for tickets that are well over priced for the headliner. If KOL does happen and they price it right then they shoudl sell like hot cakes.

Found this, so it’s coming...

I don't know how well the Liverpool show they did with Franz Ferdinand, Echo & the Bunnymen and Sam Fender sold, but I imagine that in London, that kind of concert would still sell pretty well.

Is Community three days? And KOL are playing 11th July? Yes I know we’ve seen them apparently playing in June.

If not I wonder who is playing the 11th 👀

KOL were meant to be June 28th weren't they?

Yeah apparently. But would they not just list under Music Event instead of community if you get me drift

Kings of Leon are at Mad Cool on Saturday the 11th July.

I also wonder who is playing.

Sounds plausible.

That would really rub it in. Not play Mad Cool and then turn up in London the same week as Mad Cool is in.

Maybe they play Mad Cool on 10th and then Finsbury Park on 11th? Makes sense only they are playing primavera in barcelona the week before so maybe not..?

I hope they play finsbury park i will be there!

I’d welcome Community taking the same approach as Wireless and making the festival a 3-day event. 

Does look like KOL have their own show lined up and ready to officially announce though which would rule that idea out.

Maybe they are doing Glastonbury instead

So is this still a thing. I've never thought of community as hugely well selling and there's like no news at all 5 months away...

Their socials have gone completely quiet, but they are selling pre-order merch on their site for 2020. 

On this link, it suggests plans for it over the last weekend of June. Page last updated in December 2019;

In reply to your Q, no idea!

Looks like they’ve applied for planning permission to Haringey council

Isn’t that when you want to build?

Going 3 days on glastonbury weekend is an interesting idea to say the least. Would probably end up with a lineup not far from TRSNMT's i reckon. I can't see it happening honestly - the whole new music thing has to go if its 3 days thats for certain.

Courteeners  // The Wombats // The Big Moon

Feel like this could be very wrong- the courteeners are way too big to headline the likes of community- more likely to headline ynot or truck festival imo. The wombats were there in 2018 so it’s unlikely they’ll be back this year.

The Strokes are playing Rock Werchter July 3rd, I think they are that mystery event on the 11th of July.

Courteeners are less big in London, so if they’re going to do an outdoor gig in the south then headlining this would make sense. The wombats actually last played in 2017, so I wouldn’t rule them out. They’d probably sub this but could even headline, I’m not sure they’re any smaller than the kooks who headlined last year.
