International Music Festivals

Yup, on Friday the last headliner should be announced for the Thursday which is probably going to be the highly rumored Kendrick Lamar. From then on out, I'm a bit clueless on what or better who they're going to announce. (But I'll probably get to know that sooner or later lol) I think, so far, they're doing a quite okay job (in comparison to last year, this is ofcourse wayyy less but it's okay for RW standards I guess) with the exception of P!nk. I've no fucking clue why they booked her tbh and I've got zero excitement for her show whatsoever wth.

I wish I had the money (and time) to  

Slipknot and Whithin Temptation are the first two headliners for Graspop Metal Meeting, lol. After a year of Guns N Roses, Iron Maiden, Volbeat and Ozzy I'm expecting a thin year (unless they get Rammstein or Tool).

Tomorrow, there's going to be an A+ band/artist going to be announced

Confirmed.

First wave of acts for Rosklide Fest.

lol europe is so weird. way to go slipknot i guess.

They have been, I'm just shocked they're above the cure, unless the headliners are split by day.

It's 4 days. Try again.

i don't need to. im just back to being shocked. 

More specifically, the festival will be required to “request that performers do not sing or play any vulgar, obscene or banned songs or carry out indecent acts or make any vulgar gestures, actions or remarks during the performance.” Performers will also be asked “not to offend the general public” and to eschew any “attire which expose the groin, private parts, buttock or female breast(s).”

Mind you, this year’s festivities featured a lineup of prototypical hip-hop acts, specifically J. Cole, Post Malone, Migos, Lil Uzi Vert, Stormzy, Rick Ross, Rae Sremmurd, Playboi Carti, Lil Pump, et al, who all would flat-out fail to meet those conditions. In fact, the festival would be hard-pressed to build any future hip-hop lineups that would meet these jerkstore requirements.

And if that weren’t enough, the festival will also have to deal with new sound level conditions and limited set times. In other words, Live Nation, which produces the festival, would be better off moving the festivities to any other goddamn park across England. Take it from me, these rules will not only be broken, but ruthlessly parodied (and rightfully so), but the wrath of the moralists will be one incredible headache.

RIP this festival 

They have to really knock it out of the park because between the awful logistics, shit communication and terrible weather this year, I'm definitely picking Primavera instead. Even with VIP, it was still a shitshow. 

I'm still salty about Massive Attack but that'll be fixed next year  

Yeah, the sets were amazing. I don't think I'll ever get the chance to see the combo of QOTSA -> Depeche Mode -> NIN -> Friendly Fires -> Richie Hawitin -> Underworld -> Black Madonna again. 

The Cure announced for Roskilde
Bon Iver announced for NOS Alive
Slayer, Slash and 5 more announced for Graspop
