Royal Blood on the road next year.   Would love to see them headlining on the other possibly 

I think they're in with a very good shout for Pyramid sub or Other headliner if Josh Homme's issues mean QOTSA don't appear.

I would have thought Royal Blood would be one of the contenders to headline R&L next year.

Trying to remember what day Glasto is on this year but they’ve got a date on Glasto Saturday right? No consecutive dates on this tour?

Yeah that's a good point - looks like they're in London on the Saturday, so with no consecutive dates in mind that probably squashes any likelihood of them showing up on the farm.

Support acts for the tour include a variation between Anderson Paak, A$AP Rocky, Beck, HAIM, King Princess, St Vincent, The Strokes and Thundercat. Crazy.

Full announcement video here for anyone interested:

I agree. Don’t think it would preclude them from Glastonbury but means we don’t have to shoehorn them in anywhere.

Who’s supporting in the UK? I can’t watch this shit as I’m at work and I don’t want anyone thinking I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[jump]

That's a pretty good selection of support acts that will all upstage the Chili Peppers.

If they're doing that two stage thing again I'd expect them to headline the slightly smaller one that finishes before the main one. I don't think that would rule them out of GF.

Is that the first news of Thundercat being around for the festival? That makes me happy.

Haven't actually watched it either as I'm also in an office, but don't think it says who's playing which dates yet.

[the wonderwhy]

That's the list of supports. Obviously wont be The Strokes over here and I feel like St Vinny is supporting someone else around that time?

She's supporting the Foos isn't she?

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah that's it

Only for a few of dates, Courtney Barnett is doing the other ones.

Yeah supporting Foo Fighters on Saturday 25th so won’t be doing it in UK. Imagine knowing in 2014 during all the ‘new Bowie’ hype that Annie would eventually be supporting wiener rock bands in mammoth stadiums.

She's living the dream.

Haha - okay I just watched it and it looks fake to me. I didn't see the first tour announcement video so unsure if that's the aesthetic though. Would take it with a very light pinch of salt before anything official is announced.

Tell them they can headline Glastonbury if they play Wet Sand.

The only way they can headline Glastonbury is if they don't play any of their songs and let another band play instead.

RHCP and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers perform the songs of Deacon Blue

Excuse me what… those support acts are massive. Aren’t some of these acts headliners at some places they play at? How did they manage that…

The Strokes won’t play a festival below headline but will support RHCP?

With the quality of supports they've bagged I imagine they'll all have been offered a very good payday for it. They're huge, 65k+ venues enormo-stadiums in the States so a few of these supports will definitely push a few undecideds over the line to buy, and will be compensated accordingly. I can't imagine A$AP for instance bothering to do a support slot unless it's a decent cheque.

[the wonderwhy]

The Strokes are also the US support and wont be involved over here, which is whats talked about when we have the now weekly discussion over the Strokes taking non-headline slots 

[ghostdancer1]

I'm sure they'd support in the UK too if they were paid accordingly. Probably have their own dates already booked during the Euro leg.

The Strokes have shown multiple times that they mainly care about the money. Pretty sure one of them said as much before. The fact that the money they want is usually headliner-sized is probably more of a coincidence. Give them 20m and they'd probably open the Other Stage.
