This is good news, because that new album is terrible.

[Somewhat Damaged]

Yeah, not to balk at acknowledged boardie inside info, but RHCP makes so little sense I have a hard time believing it’s actually true. They’d be supporting an album that was released 2 years earlier, and everyone on earth with an interest in seeing them live will have had ample opportunity over the preceding 18 months. They’re probably more expensive – and less of a draw – than other KROQ friendly acts who have actually released albums recently enough that people still care.

Not doubting the board member who brought it up, but maybe the source was pulling his leg and/or ill-informed. It just makes no sense that THAT'S the act they’d have all booked up a whole year in advance.

Agreed, especially on the source either fucking around or being mistaken. RHCP headlined this year's Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and will be doing ACL. Yeah, the Black Keys headlined practically every festival this year but they started with Coachella. RHCP would be ending their US festival headlining parade with Coachella. That, on top of the fact that they've already headlined Coachella twice and don't have another new album to promote (unless one is in the pipeline that I'm not privy to because I don't give a shit about following RHCP outside of verifying which US festivals they've headlined this year), just gives me a lot of doubt that they're going to be on the poster come January.

[concertgoer]

I don't think anyone called it exclusive. Whether you like Kings of Leon or not the timeliness of it made sense, unlike booking RHCP who released that album back in 2011

Muse headlined Lolla 2011 and that was almost two years after The Resistance was released
It happens

[with_cheese]

Can someone please remind me which album Dr. Dre was promoting when he headlined earlier this year?

[Phunkevil]

For the thousandth time: Dr. Dre/Snoop were Black Sabbath's replacements.

[GuyInTucson]

He was promoting his Beats by Dre headphones.

[concertgoer]

Best

The 2018 release of Detox, duh.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

There shouldn't be any doubt as the weather or not Blur is a headliner. They'll get the sub spot out of kindness and receive a very lukewarm reception while opening for the hard rock band closing out the mainstage.

Can't wait for 57 minutes of "BRO, WHAT IS THIS SHIT....WHEN ARE THEY GONNA PLAY THAT WOO HOO SONG?" followed by 3 minutes of "WOO HOO!"

Ermahgerd i know dat song

Wrong. The Black Keys were.

Dr.Dre and Snoop Dog were booked a lot earlier just because making a fucking hologram takes a lot of time.

[NicolasMata]

I'm starting this: PLACEBO FOR 2013.

[Phunkevil]

Wrong. The Black Keys were.

Dr.Dre and Snoop Dog were booked a lot earlier just because making a fucking hologram takes a lot of time.

Nope. People just need to accept already that TBK are big enough to headline festivals.

[Drewski27]

Incorrect. Black Keys were always slated to play Friday and headline to begin with. They were one of the first headliners booked. get over it.

[Bumblebee]

Nope. People just need to accept already that TBK are big enough to headline festivals.

Whats gets me is the 2011 BK slot on Friday before the EDM closer felt like complete Deja Vu when they played again in 2012 on a Friday before the EDM closer.

GV intentionally booked it like that 6 months in advance?

[concertgoer]

Actually they played before Kings of Leon in 2011

THIS.

plus, Coachella would not repeat a band a year after and make it headline, they were Black Sabbath's replacement.

ps. no one is questioning if TBK are big enough to headline festivals.

[Boourns]

Nope. People just need to accept already that TBK are big enough to headline festivals.

Mediocrity sells.

[heart cooks brain]

When in doubt, disagree with bumblebee.

[Mugwog]

When in doubt, disagree with bumblebee.

uhuh

[suprefan]

Ummmm, you're wrong. Black Sabbath was supposed to headline Sunday. Goldenvoice knew about Tony Iommi's cancer diagnosis before the world did. They went and got a replacement 72 hours before line up announcement. So yeah, you know shit.....

Actually, they would... and they did. If they can replace the Beastie Boys days before the festival with Jay-Z with full production, they can do the same here months in advance. I believe an article even cited that Dre/Snoop replaced Sabbath, TBK's tour was booked way in advance.

Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg were Black Sabbath's replacement. End of discussion. Back to 2013 please.

[heart cooks brain]

beastie boys jay z days before what

[concertgoer]

QFT

[concertgoer]

beastie boys jay z days before what

Yeah
Pretty sure that Jay-Z replaced The Who

[Phunkevil]

He was talking about All Points West.

I don't know. Bumblebee says otherwise. Also, we all know Dre's production took 10 years to make.
