The brutal truth is that Florence + The Machine aren't even at their peak anymore, and they're lagging behind by a year or two too, but we're used to that by now. Honestly, I'm not expecting any better announcements before the festival hits—hopefully, I'm wrong. ☕
The only consolation is that we’re still better than that overrated Lollapalooza. They're just Americans after all! 😁
You're talking total nonsense. Clearly, music is just a technical term to you.
When Florence + The Machine dropped their first album, nobody knew who they were, and they were playing venues in Ljubljana just five years ago.
Now, because they have two full albums out, they're suddenly at their "peak" and "lagging behind" in coming to the US??
Every single year, there are dozens of concerts in the States for bands that only have one album, and half the clubs are empty.
Are you saying most bands have already "passed their peak" before they even release a debut?
And that comment about Lollapalooza is pointless. Those two festivals have nothing in common, except for when Coachella was trying to be a mainstream fest by bringing in various Jamiroquai or nerdov types a couple of years back.
Coachella actually woke up and stayed true to being a real indie rock festival. You'll never see acts like TV on the Radio, Alice in Chains, The Flaming Lips, or Death Cab for Cutie showing up at Lollapalooza.
