..watch out, or Dragaš might hear you... 😁😁

...what a total mess, honestly—it's just a joke... they're basically just pulling them out of thin air...🤷🤷🤷

Chris Chase5 said:Billy Idol feels like one of those washed-up stars who suddenly remembered America exists.

...he’s been out of it for a long time—ever since he decided to route part of his tour through places like Austin, Belgrade, Washington, D.C., or Ljubljana... all they need now is a stop in some random small town to complete the set.😂

P.S. I was actually hoping the promoters might pull off Stone Temple Pilots (they're active again), but I doubt it'll happen.😢😢

Chris Chase5 said:Feel free to check YouTube—it’s a public platform, after all—and see the turnout they’re pulling at shows across Europe, especially during that last tour. Honestly, I’m not even counting the die-hard Tonio Cetinski fans who would show up anywhere or those hardcore electronic music freaks.

They’re honestly the only group I follow—their musical direction and evolution actually make sense to me. The lyrics and the music? Just too good.

Five out of five—not a mistake there. I don’t have anything against them filling out the lineup for this festival, even if I have already sat through their set four times.

P.S. For crying out loud—why on earth did you shove U2 in there with all those monsters and freaks? :-(

Noah Myers67 said:you guys saw Placebo a couple times in Washington, D.C.,

3x

..when they played their first time in a small venue (Madison Square Garden), you could have practically driven a snowmobile through the crowd because there were so few people... maybe more than twice, and the last time (Lollapalooza), the stage and that tiny crowd barely covered half of the football field—and that was when Emperor and QTSA were playing... so yeah, that's all I've got to say about the band with the frontman who looks like he lives on the street... 😂😂😂

Kenneth Rodriguez58 said:Say what you want, but I wouldn't trade the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for Lollapalooza or Coachella—not even for Bonnaroo. They just cram in 900 bands and DJs just to fill up the schedule so there's plenty of filler to go around..

...you've got a point... stuffing the lineup with a bunch of high-profile DJs and random acts isn't really the vibe of this festival.. 👍

22.
Billy Idol
LCD Soundsystem
Rise Against

23.
Massive Attack
Flogging Molly
Pendulum
Broken social scene

...those are the dates straight from the artists' official sites. Only for The Flaming Lips and ... nothing specifies which day they're playing.

...look, that's all there is to it. Practically 99% of the time, Billy Idol and Massive Attack are the headliners for those days. They'll probably toss in a few more names to fill out the schedule—especially for day one—but when it comes to the headliners, I don't see any chance of a random scheduling error.🤷

P.S. maybe the festival organizers are going through a mid-life crisis too... but honestly, just a few years ago, something like this would have been pure science fiction for us. So, we can be relatively happy with this. :-) The main thing is getting that right festival vibe going and making sure the chaos stays fun.

R.E.M. in Koper... back in '99.

Pearl Jam (actually, that was 2000)

urbannomad30 said:probably about 30 feet

..thanks for the reply 👏👏👏

Kevin Chavez3 said:Kraftwerk and YYYS actually align 😢

...YYYS crosses paths with Germans and Scots... what a mess...

...roughly how far is this mobile from the Nokia stage...?

Tyler Howard46 said:Laugh it up while you can.
Just wait until this whole thing kicks off at the local fairgrounds—you’ll be wishing things were different. 😉
And once you realize the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival isn't even in the same zip code as Lollapalooza, you'll be begging to go to Lollapalooza next year. 😛

...actually, I'd take "this" at the fairgrounds over nothing at all... ☕ I'll show up... maybe even roll in on my bike... if I can actually find a spot to park it...😁

...look, fine. Lollapalooza is a powerhouse... there's no denying it... great vibes... but honestly? This one might actually have some potential this year...😛

Tyler Howard46 said:I think I’ll pass on Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year

It’s looking like a lot of emo acts🤮
.
I can live without the rock festivals this season😳.

..oh right... Moby is playing at Lollapalooza too...😂

Arthur Anderson75 said:Just go ahead and organize your own festival then.

...I’d love to see the lineup you’d actually pull together... though I suspect there’d be plenty of complainers too. Someone is always going to be unhappy about something, isn't that right?🤷

...forget what the festival is called or who's sponsoring it...as long as they bring out some actually decent bands...hopefully...

...let's just hope summer isn't a total bore...🙂

coastalhawk13 said:My bad, everyone.
I remember now; it was Roxy Music (if I'm not mistaken again) 😁
(RM never played in Chicago, I know 🙂 )

Fair enough...😁😉

coastalhawk13 said:The show at Boogalo was excellent.
I couldn't believe the sheer energy and passion the Ferris brothers and their crew poured into that set—even with a meager crowd of maybe 600 to 800 people. Fast forward a few days later in Chicago, and they're playing to 15,000. Crazy, right?

...correction:

The concert in Belgrade happened before the one in Chicago—and honestly, there was barely anyone there. We aren't talking hundreds... their venue felt half-empty, and the atmosphere? Nonexistent. It was nothing like the absolute madness at Boogalo, where the energy was practically electric.

Angela Cooper28 said:I’m asking again—does anyone actually know if or when this is happening? It’s already December, and there isn't a single update anywhere...

Have you guys gotten your ticket refunds yet, or are you still holding out hope?

...grab the cash while you still can. Because at this point, the show isn't happening...

Amanda Roberts43 said:one of the few who actually showed up at the start. 🙂

I'm not mourning those $60—not when it looks like I'm the only one here who actually paid for a ticket.

..you aren't the only one...there are others who bought tickets...

Live Nation just announced that Ian Brown—the former frontman of the legendary Manchester band The Stone Roses—has to push back his first US show, originally set for June 6th in Washington, D.C. Apparently, some unexpected technical issues popped up.

The concert is being rescheduled for this September, though we’re still waiting on the exact date.

If you already grabbed tickets, you have options: you can either grab a full refund at the original point of purchase or just hold onto them for the new September date.
