LM 23 Concert

[sahajesh]

Is it confirmed anywhere which band(s) will be playing?

[oilrag1]

The Cars

[delta0]

No one knows yet. It will likely be a big artist.

[sahajesh]

Hopefully not an artist who is big only in France

[pincher]

Coldplay

I would take daft punk but they retired a year or so ago so unlikely to happen.

That’s only a rumour and has not been confirmed. I’m not even sure the source of this.

[pincher]

Yeah, just a rumour based on nothing probably. Think I may have seen it on tentenths.

The dates would fit in with their current tour schedule though.....

6/7 June - Cardiff
21/22 June - Naples




Daft Punk would be amazing and I do wonder if they would come out of 'retirement' for a one-off?

Thats what I thought, but these third rate foreign bands seem popular

Exactly. It's once a year.

[FredericRobinson]

The main concert this year is in the Friday night though, but if the above rumour is true I won’t be going

[ellroy]

That’s a very definitive no from me if true.

I would hope that we won’t be able to hear the droning, dullard, purveyors of lift musak in Arnage?

[Rick101]

I'm hoping for the Cheeky Girls tbh.

[ellroy]

Is a marked improvement over the current suspects.

[gianlucav12]

Coldplay? Man I was super excited today about getting general admission tickets and this has gone and ruined it…..


I went to Glastonbury in 2011(?) when they headlined. I watched Deacon Blue in a tent instead. If Coldplay were playing in my back garden I’d draw the curtains

[paulyv]

Coldplay are unlikely. Like them or loathe them, they have one of the largest and most technically complex tours on the road at the moment and it's unlikely their management would wish to downscale in order to play something where they are effectively second-fiddle.

Not for me, but I can see it's a great night out for fans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgiZatxpsaw

[sahajesh]

May be an unpopular opinion but I wouldn't have minded it being Coldplay.

They are car nuts as well:

It wouldn't be totally out of place for it to be them, but as you say, they have a complex tour going on but if they are ever going to play at LM, it would be 2023.

So far, I have always ignored the concert so unless it's something I am particularly interested in, I walk on by. Having a band I like (whoever it is) would be a bonus and not the sole reason for going, of course.

Would be nice if it's all genre's as well. Since obviously a lot of youngsters going for a party who are car nuts and those who have been going for years.

well i have heard of razorlight and mika but not the rest

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Not that I'll be anywhere near the concerts, but is that the best they could come up with?
