See, that’s what I don’t understand: How does „organic growth“ look for a dude who is an established name with many influential contacts in the industry? He got those contacts to management, promoters through his work with Busted and Fightstar - dare I say through organic means. Is he supposed...

O2 Forum has a capacity of ~2300 people for example and the tour sold out almost immediately. But again, it’s two discussions: 1) Are they an industry plant? 2) Are they big enough for the Metal Dome headline slot? My initial post was arguing against the former claim while I think the jury’s...

I didn’t say they deserve the slot because of Busted‘s alleged popularity. I’m saying that Busted‘s popularity helped them secure initial deals and festival appearances, thus making the claim that they are a full-on industry plant/creation at least somewhat inaccurate. Their insane momentum is...

No objections, they’re a Sleep Token clone for sure and yes, this might be an attempt to cash in on that trend.

Different subject - have you seen the ticket availability for Twisted Sister’s show in Cologne? Doesn’t look like the tickets are selling all that well. I’m curious to see how fast tickets for that Volbeat/TS Friday are going.

Used to be a very popular UK rock band. I’m just saying, it makes sense that he had connections with Download management etc. and it’s not necessarily an industry creation, which is what people often claim.

Perhaps you’re right. However, it could also just be that President‘s music has way more mainstream appeal as their style‘s very much „the current thing“ and that’s what’s causing them to grow this quickly. Their tour stops are selling out quickly and I just didn’t see this level of popularity...

The more I think about it, the more I come to believe that the „industry plant“ allegations are a little off mark. From what we know, this is actually the side project of Charlie from the band Busted. Therefore the connections that enabled President to play Download without having released...

I’m seeing both of them next week, I’ll circle back to this one :p Here’s the recent Antwerp show by the way, for anyone curious:

Hellripper, Dismember, Cavalera 🤭

While we can probably rule Deftones out by now, they have grown considerably since their last appearance in 2022.

It might also be that something fell through behind the scenes. If that's the case and they don't have an alternative lined up, they should - in my opinion - explore his availability as a plan B.

LiveNation should just get it over with and ask Manson if he wants to fill in. It seems to me that there aren't many options left for that Thursday slot.

That's just in alphabetic order.

Mad Cool line up is out - no Deftones so far.

Festihut secured - I'm so hyped 🥳🔥

Ozzy is doing additional vocals on the song „Stillborn“ - that’s what you might have heard. Also, Zakk has played on many Ozzy albums and tours over the years. I love that band!

True! At the end of the day, there’s probably going to be some plan B solution because something cancelled behind the scenes. Looking at 2025, Behemoth were on after Falling in Reverse who are the much bigger band at the moment, so Graspop doesn’t mind putting on a smaller act after something...

Slayer and Deftones appear to be the most unexpected semi-realistic names that I can think of. Linkin Park but only after an extended period of time, so that Parklife can sell tickets (I don’t actually believe this to be the case).
