Boston Calling 2021 - Lineup Tour • Page 4

And there it is. Bummer.

 

Whoa!

 

Fuck. Definitely supports the rumor that Festive Owl posted that the entire reunion tour is getting cancelled/postponed again.

 

I know I've said counter in other threads with more focused festivals but... This is 100% the kind of headliner cancellation they should be offering up refunds for.

People bought the passes expecting two specific bands. And Rage, even more so than Foo Fighters, would have undoubtedly been a major outlier on the line-up. There's also nobody even close to an equivalent "replacement" that you could pull in. Maybe Metallica?

I didn't get tickets myself. But I'm annoyed for those who did and only wanted to see Rage.

Still anxious to see who they were able to snag, though!

 

Finally some news

 

rage postponed half the tour. the other half is still happening. tour now starts in july

 

Metallica could be a proper replacement. Korn? Tool?

 

Metallica would be close but I still kinda feel like there's a solid chunk of Rage fans who aren't so into them. I don't think Korn crosses over enough with average festival-goers to be a viable headliner...

Tool has a February date at the TD Garden and will be just coming off of a European run when BC rolls around. So I wouldn't bank on them.

I feel like they'll have to dip away from the heavy to get somebody, TBH.

 

Hurm....

We have under 24 hours to wonder.

 

Actually, if I'm honestly thinking about it? Limp Bizkit could be considered reasonable. Nowhere near as big. But as a last-minute replacement could kinda work with the Lolla performance last year, etc.

EDIT: Not a replacement for Rage necessarily, but apparently Pearl Jam is announcing their rescheduled US tour dates this month. And the tour starts in May. I could very much see them being booked as headliner #3 to replace the Chili Peppers. That would make a ton of sense.

I'm really not convinced that the Strokes were ever set to be headliner #3. But I could see them being a subheadliner for sure.

 

Ooooh.

 

Limp Bizkit can't even fill up 3k capacity venues when they tour, they're not headlining a major festival

 

We're getting St. Anger himself headlining

 

Beat me to it! Wonder if that's the Rage replacement or the mystery headliner #3. Assuming it's the Rage replacement...

 

Liam Gallagher's teasing an announcement tomorrow on Twitter too. Gonna go ahead and assume it's a tour and he's on the BC line-up as well.

 

Metallica is an awesome snag!

final prediction: Metallica - Foos - Doja Cat - Megan

 

50 minutes til announcement.

A lot of guesses for Metallica. But who could be the 3rd?

And lets hope the timing works out well.... and there are single day tickets. :)

 

I'm sure single tickets will be happening. Whether that's today or two months from now kinda depends on whether or not they drop the daily line-ups today.

 

line up is posted early on their site

 

Looks like a lot of bands..... Metallica wins.

 

this lineup isnt for me, glad I didn't buy a ticket

 

I have bands Id want to see all 3 days, but no day is wowing me :/

Not my festival :/

 

Metallica - Foo Fighters - The Strokes is as solid a top 3 than I've seen all year.

Haim, Avril, Weezer, Cheap Trick, Run the Jewels and King Gizzard is an incredibly solid second line.

AND then it takes a complete nose dive haha
