la roux cancelled

[mikey1313666]

thank god

[GuyInTucson]

Illnesses may happen. I'm sure she didn't cancel cause she had a camping trip or something to attend.

"Things are progressing well with the new record but I just don't have the time to finish it AND prepare a new set for Coachella. If they'll have us back we'd love to see you there."

Sounds to me they're cancelling because they aren't prepared enough. Pretty shitty excuse, assuming it's true, if you ask me. I am not a La Roux fan, but c'mon now....

[guedita]

I guess I'll be the one to point out that cancellations do not in any way guarantee or even suggest adds.


Dummies.

[manalive!]

lame

[crazzz2007]

it's better than a shitty performance taking up an hour of prime stage time...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I was never expecting an add. I am just hoping for one.

[CitizenJ]

I'm fine with this. Bring on a worth replacement please. or move one of the overcrowded Saturday Artists like Kasabian to Sunday.

Amy Winehouse Dropped out from the second line of the 2009 lineup in mid March, and they added Joss Stone Mid April, right before the Festival.

Just a reference.

I agree but that's not the point. La Roux isn't my thing, but the fact that they supposedly do not have time to prepare a new set is a flimsy excuse / reason for dropping off.

[Mugwog]

MIA was Winehouse's replacement a few years back.

I am sad. I wanted to WoooOOOOOoooo.

[nbvcide]

no, they replaced amy winehouse with MIA a week later, the joss stone add was a seperate thing...

odd. i cant recall a single time adds didnt come following a cancel.

[KidRobot]

Question: Can we assume that if someone is officially cancelled that they will do the "(cancelled)" thing and not just remove the name from the lineup page? Names were being removed a lot two weeks ago but simply for day changes or spelling changes. But Cat Power is removed from the lineup page and is also dropped from the poster. Why wouldn't they put her back on the lineup page with "Cat Power (cancelled)" like they did for La Roux?

Let's hope its not MIA again. What a lame sub-headliner. Thats tent bait. One hit wonder.

[guedita]

Yeah. I'm sure Golden Voice just has MIA on retainer for anytime a female singer drops out of performing.

There also weren't two festival weekends that the artist was required to play at in 2009. Getting replacements/late adds seems like a much more difficult task this year then it has ever been before.

Really? Not a single time? [insert list of times there were more cancellations in a year than adds following the cancellations and/or cancellations that were not followed by adds; list to exclude Volcanochella cancels]

[guedita]

WHO REPLACED GRACE JONES I DON'T REMEMBER WAS IT MIA?

True, but seeing as how it is January, I think they will be able to make something happen. I expected adds anyways just with the low number of bands.

[TickleMeElmo]

Let's not shit ourselves, she's probably not gonna get replaced.

[guedita]

DID MIA REPLACE HERCULES AND LOVE AFFAIR?

[Zero23]

I'm still trying to remain optimistic that there will be some significant adds that I'll want to see, but the whole two weekend thing is really fucking things up.

MIA IS PLAYING INSTEAD OF MADNESS

[malcolmjamalawesome]

12,530, bitch

[KidRobot]

M.I.A. will be added to the lineup, but not as a replacement for La Roux. She will replace Radiohead as Saturday's headliner.

[guedita]

MIA THREW DOWN A SICK SET WHEN DJ CRAZE CANCELLED WAS SURPRISED AT HER TURNTABLISM SKILLS GOTTA SAY

[Boourns]

Just fucking bring back Little Dragon. Still puzzled at their absence from the lineup.

Exactly this.

[algunz]

Who replaced Madness?

[TickleMeElmo]

I hear that Pearl Jam fella is open both weekends...
