Do you have a source for this? I'd like to read it, cheers

White continued, “We won’t really be announcing dates in advance so much, we will mostly be playing at small clubs, back yard fetes, and a few festivals here and there to help pay for expenses. Shows will be announced as close to the show date as possible, some shows we won’t even decide to do until that morning.

Somebody on Facebook who apparently spoke to the booker said the announcement is 'massive' (appreciate the words 'Facebook and 'apparently' means can take that with a pinch of salt)

 

A Massive announcement - will it 'attack' out excitement or will it just be seen by many a 'Big' as we starch our sheets for the birdhouse jail.

So every festival with a TBA will be guessed to have Jack White playing.

Ah I do remember reading this. Thought it was something new. Thanks

No way would he play here though. He headlines mid-size festivals across Europe that are much bigger than Bearded Theory.

 

Yeah, but he's only an academy sized act these days.

He chose those venues on purpose though.

 

He's too big for festivals like this.

Too big maybe but he may choose a festival this size on purpose

Not the same as doing his own show where even if it's a small venue he can charge a premium fee (65 quid to be precise).

 

Bearded Theory aren't going to go from booking bands like Future Islands or Amyl and the Sniffers headlining to Jack White.

Supergrass are touring round Bearded and have a gap on the Friday and Saturday

An act I've always liked but somehow never got round to seeing, so I'd be pleased if they crop up.

Saw them loads back in the day...was supposed to see them twice in a week on their comeback tour but caught Covid and missed them both. Loads of absolute bangers....would be a great headliner for me personally

Yes i noticed those gaps. Would be a popular booking.

[Paul ™]

Yes please to Supergrass, but not a Pallet headliner.

[Flaminglippy]

Pixies are touring the UK that month and are free the Sunday night of Bearded.

[Callum_96]

Think with both Supergrass and Pixies doing extensive tours around Bearded I'm not sure they'd be booked.

It looks like both of them have tours that finish before Bearded so as long as they get time to sell tickets before BT announces I see no reason why not for either - not that either excite me that much.

[Paul ™]

Pixies would be an ideal headliner, yes please 🙏 

[ciderbus]

Not really related to next year but i'm glad I got to see Jane's Addiction at BT as it looks like it'll be a long time before they are on stage together again.

[Gnomicide]

If Frank Carter and the remaining Pistols do festivals next year, and they did Bearded where would you see them appearing?

If \I could choose I would pick the Woodland but they are far to big for that so Meadow would be the likeliest.

Pixies and/or Mogwai would be great headliners.
