It means QOTSA will take 20:00 slot 😞

I'm super happy I'll get to watch arctic monkeys and QOTSA without my missus pressuring me to go back to our toddler being babysat by her parents.

Just means I've to make sure she's asleep by 7 though. Hmm

Roskilde festival is announcing full lineup on Thursday, so me get some names this week or next week. At least it will be clear what kind of names are coming to Ope'ner based on what is going to Roskilde and other festivals like Lolla Stockholm and Rock Werchter.

Do you guys think there's a chance Kali Uchis would do a European tour this summer to promote her new album? She's playing a lot of gigs in April and May in the states

I hope so, she’s definitely going to come to Europe, if it’s not this year then 2024 for sure

maybe some fall arena tour since the majority of summer festivals already have full line-ups?

BTW, as we're waiting for the next announcement, we may rule out some acts recently announced for other Polish festivals or solo gigs:

Interpol, Ben Howard, Tash Sultana, Bonobo, Pusha T, Jockstrap, Spiritualized, Sofi Tukker, Lil Uzi Vert, Black Country, New Road, Franz Ferdinand, Alt-J.

So how does the Roskilde poster translate here? 

Janelle Monae likely for us?

I'd say it's less likely, no dates in our weekend, maybe she's only available from the week after.

On the other hand, Fred Again.. not playing Roskilde makes it more likely he'll play Open'er (still available on Wednesday and Thursday).

And we didn't get any answers regarding our last headliner. Looks like Lana may be exclusive for Glastonbury? So the only realistic options right now are Blur or some co-headlining structure.

Still thinking blur as last head or has that been shot down as an idea?

Who for 29th?

They are still possible, playing 27th in Amsterdam and 30th at Roskilde. And if you look at who's touring and available, they seem to be the only realistic option for a sole headliner.

in fact she has some dates during our week: https://factoryinternational.org/whats-on/janelle-monae-mif23/ - a three-night residency in Manchester (June, 30 - July, 2). Guess she could come by on 28th...

[festivalguy97]

Having Blur and Janelle Monae and Fred Again would be excellent tho. I guess within the next 2 weeks the announcement should come.

In comparison to Roskilde Opener is doing great so far even without the mystery of who may be coming.

Rosalia would also be a cool addition

Let's hope it won't get worse once they announce the remaining names 😉

And Opener is 100 and smth euros cheaper than Roskilde. Maybe for polish people that doesn’t make a difference, but for people that come from overseas that does make difference, and it’s much cheaper to stay and drink and go out in Poland than in Denmark or other west European countries. Been to Opener once, and definitely would like to comeback, specially with the lineup this year, there are some really nice artists this year.

I agree, if people are spending 320euro they are crazy. They should be getting a Glastonbury level lineup but they're getting something worse than smaller festivals.

I don't know how Roskilde can justify the lineup for that price.

Picked up early birds for Open'er. Great deal.

Hmm Sza, not a big one for me.

Special? Where did you find that? Does that mean that this is her only date?

It's basically everywhere, on their website and social media posts. Not sure what it means though...

+Ezra Collective (great!), ZULU, Deki Alem, and Ash Olsen

It’s doesn’t say “exclusive”, that would indicate that’s it’s her only show. What I feel is that it’s the only show of her next European tour that is going to be at a festival. She’s finishing her US tour and probably going on a European tour.

[Rico_Pliskin]

Deki alem are decent, SZA is not.

Can't understand what a set from her sounds like
