Organizer of one of the biggest festivals here in the Netherlands (Pinkpop) actually admitted he added a smaller extra stage (dubbed 'Stage 4') just to have a place were he can stick all the acts they HAVE to book just because they want to book some other, bigger, band. Lol. They should always do a stage like that so you know what you’ll get. I mean, it CAN also be a great newcomer thing. Pink Slips on a bigger stage than Greta though?...

But I think you'll get more people on the festivalgrounds by putting a 'hot' band like GvF in that spot then a band nobody knows and is completely out of place there.

Maybe it shouldn’t but Greta Van Fleet are MUCH better then Pink Slips, they just don’t have a famous daddy. Yes, it pisses me off too seeing a band not being given a fair chance. I don't think it does the festival many favours either, they should be helping to bring through new bands like this one. There are a couple of bands on main that nobody would care if Greta Van Fleet took their place but at least I know who they are....I'd have no idea who The Pink Slips are if I werent a gnr fan.

I also think the crowd is gonna be hard on them. Just a gut feeling. You guys will let me know please, I can’t be there.

Yeah, and financially it should also be better for them. Download isnt earning jack shit if people are drinking their own beers on the campsite. You want them on the festival grounds spending 5 pounds (or whatever a beer costs there) on a pint. And people aren't going to the festival grounds at 11 to have good spot for Pink Slips, they might do it for Greta van Fleet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, maybe they will open early on Saturday or finish late? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl_morris Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Main stage bands start from like 12.30 Guns will hit the stage at 7.30-8pm like they done for most of the tour last year. The might even play 3.5 hours like they were doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
