What the fuck this lineup is fucking terrible
U2? Are you fucking kidding me? You might as well have gotten Nickelback or One Direction to headline.
>he doesn't immediately read the small names
who gives a fuck about the names at the top?
the fucking lemon twigs are on festivals now
what a shitty meme band
At least they have Kevin Morby tho
>>70274222
nah U2 is good and consistently put on a fantastic show
>>70275145
hello grandpa
>>70274416
i ended up seeing them only because they were opening for car seat headrest. it was.....something
all my normie friends love this lineup.
i think Coachella has a better lineup though. wish U2 was playing at coach tho would have been perfect to play joshaua tree in full over there
>>70274222
U2 is actually the only band on there that I'd be interested in seeing. the rest are shit
I hate U2 but don't see how that's any different then previous line-ups. Last few years the headliners were Pearl Jam, Elton John, Billy Joel. Not saying those are bad but just major popular headliner acts equal to the likes of U2 .
what went wrong?
>>70277856
Damn, festivals have been going way downhill in recent years.
Anyone remember Shaky Knees? 2015 was great. 2016 and 2017 lineups are shit.
shaky knees 2015 was pretty incredible

>>70274378
those are shit too
>>70277856
they went corporate
>>70274222
One of the worst festival lineups I've ever seen. Leaves a really bad taste.
>>70277856
Livenation bought them out.
Festivals are kind of going through the equivalent process of when Clear Channel bought out all the radio station. A diluting of content and quality.
>>70274222
oh my god this is so fucking bad
>>70274222
christ
For some reason I see this as a sign of something to come for lineups of other festivals.
>>70274222
Would you rather they were in a studio making another iPhone album? I don't think so.
>>70281946
I'd rather U2 just fucking died. They've never been good, relevant, or really all that popular.
I don't know a single person who likes them.
>>70282017
Same here honestly. Never met anyone who likes them and I hang out with normies.
>Ed Helms
>>70282112
Literally U2 are probably the least liked and most hated of any popular band around.
Remember when that used to be a Jamband festival? Now Umphrey's is the only Jamband there.
>>70277856
Damn that lineup was stacked.
Literally the saddest part of my year is the travesty of a lineup they've given us. Fuck them. On the plus side I'm excited for my first Coachella and Movement
>>70274222
Literally wouldn't want to see anyone
>implying I wouldn't rather see One Direction than U2
>>70277856
>Nas
>Tame Impala
>Death Grips
>Swans
>Twenty One Pilots
>Charli XCX
>That low.
Nowadays those guys and some others there headline other festivals, and this shit was 3 (almost 4) years ago.
>>70275498
he's right you know
>>70283916
Even Nickelback would probably be better than U2 desu
>>70282112
>>70282017
My mom really liked them.
No one else in the family did, we all kinda made fun of her for it.
>>70284599
Theyre somehow successful without ever being legitimately popular, relevant, critically acclaimed, or good at all. It's mindboggling.
If you ever wanted the opportunity to stand alone in a field and watch a private U2 concert for $400...this could be it.
>>70276449
define something
>>70279215
Christ man. This is honestly so True
>>70274222
I was thinking about this the other day with Governors Ball. Shit man, 2013 and 2014 were totally killer. But 2016-17 looked like total shit
Old school legends were never uncommon at Bonnaroo. Paul McCartney, Roger Waters, etc. Neither are rappers, especially ones like Kanye, even though I think he's made it clear both shows that music was not the most important thing to him. But you know what usually is not at Bonnaroo? The huge new age Top 40 pop groups, and while U2 isn't full blown bieber, it's a step in that direction, it's not much different than seeing someone like 5SOS headline.
F U2 ...... the 90s is that way <<
>>70284647
>without ever being legitimately popular, relevant, critically acclaimed
I don't even like U2 but this is objectively inaccurate
I fucking hate U2
>>70277856
HOLY SHIT

You must be 18+ to post on this board
>>70277543
I know, right? The only band I would see there would be Umphrey's McGee, but they play every year.
Music in general is shit these days, so of course music festivals are going to be shit.
