Theyve replaced other artists with much less notice, so would be weird if they didn't do the same here. I wouldn't even mind if they replaced them with some slightly smaller acts, like I dunno... Spiritualized and MBV for example Yeah, I'm still confident they'll be an MA replacement. Wouldn't read anything at all into this announcement. A headliner replacement deserves its own news briefing.

bobhoward Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I still think there’s time and room for them to add mid level acts who are around as replacements. Spiritualized, hot chip, peaches, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilgamesh69 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 tbh i would have been happy with someone small but after all this messing around, they better be giving us someone like Kendrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 All jokes aside tho, is Kendrick that unrealistic a booking for the future? I mean theyve managed to get Tyler the Creator and Travis Scott to perfom, who are also both pretty huge in Hip Hop circles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before but I expect 2023 to be something like Kendrick / NIN / Massive Attack / Bjork / Arcade Fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Incognito Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Definitely not unrealistic. He's played before. Primavera Sound is the biggest festival in Spain/The Med. He's likely to play there next year I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Think Kenny is also probably nailed on for Rock Werchter 2023 considering he was supposed to play 2021. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W1 (OUT - Brockhampton, Turnstile etc) W2 (IN - YYYs, The Smile, Phoenix etc) Weekend 2 ain't got the National so it's playing catch up from the start!

kaytee... Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 If there was a replacement for Massive Attack it wouldn't make sense for them to announce until the week of the festival given how much backlash they're getting so far. The festival can't predict when someone will fall ill/logistical travel issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whos3000_ Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 you can't just announce travis scott and bjork and leave me with tame impala as the main guy the day after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxialac Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think we'll get the Massive Attack replacement in the next fortnight or so. Probably someone slightly smaller but not insultingly so. It's crazy IMO to give them grief over this; it's only been a month since they cancelled and a headliner is always the hardest act to find replacements for.

Quadrophobia Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 At this point I'm sure there will not be a replacement. I was wrong about many things many times, and I hope that I continue to be, but I don't see who they'd pull on such short notice in the craziest year in recent festival history.

Still think it's horrible messaging to do all this today with zero mention of an MA replacement, if they really intend to replace them. IMO today was them telling us there's no replacement, but we will see. Mad Cool 22 is another level of bad PR but at least their poster has that little asterisk on the poster let you know something is coming.

They replaced Migos and Cardi B at less notice. And when Frank Ocean cancelled with a week's notice, they offered refunds (which they didn't have to do). Keep the faith...
