To help boost the profile of LiveNation's second biggest event in the country? (it is considered bigger than ACL to them; just based on the fact that they actually own the location and therefore make more of a profit)
So, in recap - I ask why on earth a band the size of U2 would do a one-off show at Bonnaroo as their only NA show of the year, and you said "well, LiveNation might want it that way." Then came the bet talk.
I could care less if it's their only NA show in 2017, but the people on the Interference boards are saying Asia/Pacific in summer and Europe in the fall with NA being the final leg in winter 2018. This doesn't seem all that far fetched. Looking back at their last 2 tours, when they hit the road it's usually for 8-12 months at a time. It looks like on their last tour they only played Europe and NA, so it makes sense for them to start in Asia/Pacific region. They haven't played Japan since 2006 and rumors popped today saying they're planning on visiting Singapore for the first time.
I think this all depends on when the new album is released. I could easily see them playing the season finale of SNL in late May and then doing other promo until the record drops and then finish it up at Roo and get ready for the official tour.
So you're saying that he doesn't model himself after traits from contemporary hiphop culture?
Give me some examples of what you're talking about. What traits?
Braggadocio, clothing style, the promotion of his XO brand (similar to how some rappers shout out their label). Or the fact that r/hiphopheads and the KTT forum worship Abel at a level of the biggest rappers in the game.
If we can agree that hiphop is a culture, and that R&B and rap is placed under the umbrella term of urban music (whether justified or not), then y'all should see how "urban aesthetic" is not an unreasonable term to describe a component of The Weeknd's brand.
All I've gathered from the last page or so is that Juggs is a big ol' pussy.
I'm a true beta. I've never pushed, stomped, kicked, or spit on someone who shoved past me in the crowd at an RHCP show. I've never even stolen someone's hat!
But no seriously if U2 doesn't play any shows in NA next year besides Bonnaroo I will 100% delete my account and never return. All I ask is that Launchpad and that other guy agree to do the same if/when I'm right. Also that Launchpad go back to that bar in Philly so the bouncer can slug him in the eye or neck.

Do you always bring up unrelated shit when you're wrong or?
You weren't around for the non-ironic "Hip Hop headliners bring bad people to Bonnaroo" discussions. Those were a doozy.
"undesirables"
All in favor of redefining "undesirables" as the excess-disposable-income crowd who confuse partying with art/culture, and thereby ruin it for others with behavior such as pushing forward and shout-talking over your favorite song?
