Talking Heads are in a tiny pantheon tier with maybe ABBA and the Cocteau Twins. Grouping them with the Last Shadow Puppets is troubling.
ii agree i wouldn't put them together in the same tier in terms of reunion, but my list was just generally acts that i would be really excited about if they were on the lineup
Looking back at this still trying to think of who realistically could show up on the lineup that will generate the same buzz as Bjork, Underwold or Chem Bros for these boards. Key word is realistically…
D'Angelo, Massive Attack, Burial
has there been D'angelo buzz? His Black Messiah tour was one of the best concerts I've ever experienced.
I have doubts Coachella really cares about what Bonnaroo does. Coachella is kinda in a class of their own.
Is there even, like, animosity between the companies? I feel like they generally get along and take a "rising tide lifts all ships" perspective, though Coachella's timing last year (and potentially this year) is suspect. I just don't think Coachella cares about Bonnaroo at all. Maybe they had a reason to in 2005, but not today.
Heard many people say after attending 2022 that they felt like Doja was practically a fourth headliner that year with the performance she gave. (I didn't see her set in its entirety due to conflicts but I'd agree with that take based on the little bits I saw.) Fully agree that she hasn't done anything to warrant a rebooking so soon tho
Her crowd was massive in 2022. But yeah, in a lot of ways that makes her headlining even worse. She essentially did it two years ago.
here to comment fiona apple to add to the prayer circle <33
Man, I'll even just take a Fiona tour. I want to hear Fetch The Bolt Cutters live.
Not sure about recently, but I remember reading an article about Coachella/festival lineup competition where the bonnaroo guys said something to the effect of (paraphrasing heavily) that there has to be someone that goes first, and if it has to be someone, people are generally happy that it is Coachella as they are not dicks/are reasonable to deal with.
acts that would make me lose my shit if they somehow landed them:
oasis the smiths talking heads jay-z sonic youth (not hl-ing) last shadow puppets r.e.m. nas massive attack burial
I believe Mikey said last shadow puppets is confirmed so you'll get them likely
that was the last dinner party unfortunately. my eyes perked up when i saw that message and then went back down (no disrespect meant to that band or their fans)
being in a band with your uncle is so weird. especially if that band is LMFAO
You’ve never looked at your mom’s brother before and thought “Yeah, this is the person I’d like to film a music video with where we both wear little animal print thongs and then the big twist is we have even tinier animal print thongs underneath”??
