That Thursday isn't really getting any better either; if this is a sub, it's never going to sell out, right?
To use they've really struggled this year, to them as the bookers, youth might jist be the corner they are turning too. Be thankful The Neighbourhood aren't above MA because they will get a bigger crowd 100%
We knew it was coming, so in itself not a big deal. But given the unusual announcement, the big extra name for Thursday?
No Placebo then? Or are they getting it in the tent after all? Or on Saturday?
I am much closer to no currently. I could see les ardentes instead too
Shall we agree to limit it to one negative reaction per person?
I really need to go listen to this band now and join over 51 million monthly listeners on Spotify. By which I just mean to say that it is apparently a band that might very well attract quite a large audience.
Just to be clear too, this isn't just negative replies, just multiple. I expected them to happen and to be second down, just wether it was Thursday or Saturday. They are booked heavily for the youth which is fine, so will Turnstile for a large portion be
But then QotSa becomes a possibility for Saturday, right?
They were only ever for that day once their tour dropped
It was nice that there was no teasing, though. Apparently, that isn't the new normal every time.
Haha no one wanted a tease for that.
Placebo in Barn as the closing act. The great migration after Turnstile, then.
I don't think that's happening, the reason they have likely skipped it for years is because of beinf offered that spot and currently they are on their biggest tour for ages, on those two particular albums, they've just played the AFAS dome and they are subbing Hurricane Fest, they've got a more prominent position than Phoebe has.
It looks like The Neighbourhood will play before Turnstile at Pinkpop. Around 6:00 PM on the Main or North stage. That will probably be the case here as well.
I would probably look at their lineup again with Turnstile comfortably below them.
Experience shows that that doesn't mean much at this stage. In previous years, Barn headliners were sometimes initially ranked above mainstage names.
Not one's that sell 23k tickets out they weren't
You find this weaker than 2024?
Apart from Muse, massively and I'm not even into them massively these days, the hope was for a better option another day and Muse a I'm happy to watch because they cost too much in the UK. If this year was the 2024 lineup, I'd have bought a combi by now.
Just let 5 seconds of summer go to Werchter Boutique; they really don't need to be on the lineup.
Yet at PP they are the same day as The Neighbourhood and Turnstile vs Myles Smith and Bastile with Raye
surely it lists, Thurs-Sun headliners, then Thurs, Fri and Sun subs and then the 2 lower down acts in Thurs, Sun order too?
Yeah I think alphabetical coincidentally works out the same way as position wise. Turnstile might be the barn, they might be main.....most likely but they aren't subbing.
Do: MA - Neighbourhood
Free: Muse - NBT
Substance: Sam Fender - X
Zone: Tame Impala - Sombr
I think we know almost the 8 'headliners' with this. High hopes for what they're going to put alongside Sam here, though.
Quite a bit less than the previous edition (for me personally), but a very young top end, knowing that Angèle and Turnstile are also there. And that deserves praise too. An MA, in particular, feels a bit out of place here.
God this needs a package to give it something
Objectively, their top end is much stronger that day (so far), but personally, I think Massive Attack is worth more than Blink, NBT, and 5SOS combined.
PP is smashing this dead currently apart from Muse, and I don't even like Raye. But they have looked at their target audience and booked accordingly. This could be anything from a 45 year old bloke to a 14 year old girl or boy that can't even attend.
It's a real shame that the 4 bands you like aren't coming.
Why even make a post like that making it look like its just him when the majority of this board has been shouting for ALL 4 for ages, that's just silly. At the very least people were and are hanging onto The Strokes, QOTSA and FNM until they were effectively rules out. DC was known ages ago. Don't make out like he's on his own, and I only care for one of them.
