Iggy and the Stooges

reunion?

[Bumblebee]

reunion?

With Raw Power guitarist James Williamson reuniting with iggy after 35 years. They's only done a handful of festivals and other dates it seems.

[bmack86]

They're opening for Morrissey soon.

I know they reunited seven years ago at this point, but Coachella still needs to get Dinosaur Jr. A Talk Talk/Mark Hollis performance would actually get me there this year, finances be damned.

[Miroir Noir]

Did Talk Talk ever perform any of their post-1986 work live?

[OpenGatorade]

Huge reunion was leaked to me today. They are going to kick off their reunion tour at Coachella.

Here is the background story. I was in the office of a co-worker in an industry that is so far distanced from music and entertainment that it isn't even funny. There was some Stagecoach memorabilia in the office, and so I made some comment like, "Oh, do you go to Stagecoach?"

Them: "Yes, every year."
Me: "Oh, I go to Coachella every year."
Them: "So do I! I've been every year because of [INSERT BUSINESS CONNECTION WITH GOLDENVOICE.] My favorite acts have been Paul McCartney and Madonna."
Me: "Cool".
BLAH BLAH BLAH BUSINESS
Them (as I am leaving the door): "But you'll never guess who they have for next year."

I get all excited thinking it's a headliner. It's not, but I'm guessing second liner. They say "BLAHBLAHBLAH".

It's pretty big.

I'm not going to ruin anything for anybody, because I do think it will be a great left field surprise, but I am going to leave vague enough clues that when the act ends up on the poster, I can bump this thread and be all like, "Told you I knew what I was talking about." Because I'm an ass.

Band, not solo singer
80s era
At least one member has significant name recognition outside of the band
Has not been mentioned so far in this thread
No way Bonnaroo or Lolla will book it

Have fun. And now I will insert a word in this thread so I can search for it and bump it when January comes out: Rapscallion.

See you then.

Wild shot in the dark here but it'd be my dream. Dead Kennedys reunion with Jello

[The Creeper]

THE BLOOD BROTHERS

Id actually go watch this, though im sure johnny whitley would be cracked out of his mind.

[lpalms]

the replacements? although I don't see why Lolla wouldn't book them.

[CrimesceneCookie]

Wham.

[westernwarrior]

Wishlist:

Stone Roses
Mr. Bungle
The Replacements
Culture Club
The Folk Implosion (Unlikely since Barlow is busy with Dinosaur Jr.)
Postal Service
Talking Heads (Although it would just be nice to see David Byrne on the lineup somewhere)

[Larry Farnsworth]

If anything, Lolla skews the youngest out of all the major fests. I honestly can't imagine the Replacements being a major draw with a crowd that is (from what I've seen) mostly made up of people who can't legally drink. And they don't fit the Bonnaroo template (any "reunions" Bonnaroo tends to get are of the classic rock variety, a la the Beach Boys and Buffalo Springfield).

The Replacements are my hope/wish/prayer as the answer to this. They're a band, not a solo singer. "At least" one member has significant name recognition - obviously Westerberg, but the "at least" implies that one other member (or more) might have some cache, and I think Tommy Stinson fits. And they weren't mentioned in this thread before Travelfan's post.

But somebody said Culture Club, and that seems more likely and makes just as much, if not more, sense. Fuck.

[TiaBaby]

NIRVANA, SONIC YOUTH, PIXIES, AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

IMO, Culture Club or Eurythmics were the only names that could fit the criteria. Boy George hasn't worked in the US for several years now after that arrest and a CC reunion has been hinted elsewhere.

Replacements would be a big deal. GV had no problem getting PIL, Specials or Madness and giving them prime stage scheduling.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmm

Old news but I don't think it's been posted yet. This would be wild.
