2024 Headliners

[stuie]

Can we please refrain from pastry related insults? Day two of my diet and I fancy pie for dinner now. 

[Krisesk]

Just wait until Dua Lipa is suddenly ruled out and Muse announce something. Then we can get excited for a Coldplay/Muse/Killers trio of headliners.

This ridiculous descent into threadmageddon is one of the reasons that January is so sht. @stuie maybe a green curry? That's what I'm having.

Cheat day? 🤣

Four old duffers stood behind laptops, knocking out something that would shame a Game Boy developer is just what the public is crying out for on a Sunday night.

They can sub the National if they want to.

Two. The other pair are there for decoration.

They're not actually playing synths - just clanking together different-sized Fray Bentos pie tins.

Sorry. Wrong kosmische musik act. I was thinking of Can.

New Year's Resolutions are there to be broken after all.

I think Matt Bellamy's Jaded Hearts Club side-project doing 60s dad-rock covers with Graham Coxon, Miles Kane and the singer from Jet could be a shout for one of the smaller stages. They're definitely doing something this year judging by an Instagram post over the Xmas period saying they're releasing new music.

Bellamy himself did put up a photo of him working with an orchestra but some people think this could actually be a film/video game score rather than actual new Muse songs. Think they'll be around in 2025 instead.

It’s a shame Muse stank out the place in 2016 as their 2023 show really was excellent.

There’s an alternate reality somewhere in which they didn’t play that 16 show and instead returned after a 13 year absence and went down a storm.

Their 2016 show was pretty damn good from where i was standing. 

[Gnomicide]

We go again...

Well it aint Rage

[crumbler]

Absolute wet fart of a comeback. Not all their fault (COVID and Zach's leg injury didn't help) but there's no reason they couldn't have rescheduled eventually.

Can’t believe Coachella couldn’t even bag RATM on their big comeback tour. Embarrassing. Must be struggling. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when Alan Toilet books Xavi to headline the Do Lab.

[On The Blend]

I for one am hyped for RATM's European tour 2034...

Not enough cash registers apparently.

There are four of Kraftwerk and only one of Elton so it stands to reason that they'd be four times as good.

You know if Coachella can't get them that there isn't will or money enough for them collectively to be bothered.

I not particularly, but given the choice between EJ, QOTSA and Rudimental

Well it's pretty clear there's only one winner and as it happens it was another great WH party
