Massive Attack still not quite done, Liverpool date in November, would be great if they did a final 2025 run that included a Barn headline here. 

While they are in my wishlist every year, I’ve given up hope to see Massive Attack at RW. I don’t know what it is…their requirement for no other gigs in parallel due to potential sound leak, their criteria for how “green” the festival is, fear of certain habits of their fans or some beef from the past with the organization (all these have been brought up in this forum over the years), but they just don’t do RW for 21 years now. 
 

It’s a shame because I’ve seen them a gazillion times and they are always amazing live. And they would be ideal Burn headliners indeed.

They are no part of the Livenation-machine.

Lokerse Feesten is also Live Nation…

 

they were supposed to play in 2017, but the deal felt off ….  In the end they would have to cancel the show anyway

Not that they were massively rumoured but Depeche Mode aren’t playing

Or 2018, which was even better.

I always kick myself for not even thinking about EU fests when this happened. 

 

Kali Uchis > Steve Wilson > Little Simz > BRMC > Alice in Chains > Vince Staples > QOTSA>  Gorillaz

Wolf Alice > First Aid Kit > White Buffalo > CHVRCHES > London Grammar > Anderson .Paak > The Killers

Stereophonics > Stone Sour > MGMT > Jorja Smith > Fleet Foxes > Jack White > Pearl Jam

Post Malone > Pale Waves > Idles > David Byrne > Noel G > Nine Inch Nails > Nick Cave > Arctic Monkeys

 

Is an absolutely obscene run.

2018 was madness! People tend to focus on the headliners but what an undercard we had that year! One of the best lineups I’ve ever seen in a festival. We would have crossed paths many times it seems if you had been there.

2018 was a mad year across the board for festivals. We'll be lucky if we see anything like that in the foreseeable future.

2022 wasn't far off but I think that was kind of a swelled position given 2020 and 2021 had been ruined by some virus or other. 2018 was certainly wild for just how organic it was that a ton of amazing acts were all on tour at the same time.

out of interest do you remember the prices 

I don't remember the price for the 2-person pre pitched, but the 4-person pre pitched was €486

It was a fantastic year. I found myself rushing between the stages and were never bored. Whereas in 2023 and 2024 there were breaks for a few hours in between the acts who I found worth seeing on some of the days.

We’re taking our own tents so the pitch should be cheaper than that then

As an extra final night bonus for IFF delegates, Solo Agency invites you to Frank Carter & Sex Pistols at Kentish Town Forum.

The legendary band – with former Gallows frontman Frank Carter – will perform at 20 festivals in summer 2025, with early shows having gained 4- and 5-star reviews from UK media

I don’t know why but I feel like it’s more likely for Graspop or a big slot at Lokerse, but I would like to be proven wrong as I’ve heard good things about the shows

Any chance of Mr Timberlake headlining on the Sunday?

Very unlikely, doesn’t appear to do 3 dates in a row.  Guessing it’ll be Pinkpop or something similar

That makes sense. Especially as the Sunday is the 6th and not the 7th as I thought 🙄🙄

If they play in Europeans Festivals, it's possible they would play Werchter, Pinkpop, Rock am Ring, Lolapalooza France, Idays, ...

Hope they do play but why we he only say German festivals? Anyway, firmly keeping my fingers crossed

[Matt86]

maybe he only said "German festivals" becauuuse... they'll only do German festivals ^^

[BenG92]

They aren't doing a massive comeback tour to just play Germany. He's just teasing a few. Think Live Nation's running the tour which Werchter would fall under but doesn't make it a guarantee.
