Who do you think Moz will have as his "special guests?" This is very cool news.

Sparks, Henry Rollins, Bob Geldof, Bryan Ferry, Martin Rossiter, James, Elvis Costello, Billy Bragg and Cornershop are just a few of the names apparently pencilled in.

 

[Urine Idiot]

well the promoters certainly dont share your opinion.in the interest of balance put up 8 positive responses.hurry up we are waiting.

Yeah. The promoters wanna sell tickets to an event for which their financially responsible. …and these are the people telling them to go eat a bag ‘o dicks.

Do try to keep up, Gordo.

He should just have me berate and belittle the audience for 4 hours without pause before taking the stage in a tux to do a covers only set.

We will bring @klaus in to oversee the catering.

Elvis Costello is an actual racist. He's the worst.

 

[Verso]

@Verso loser move.

Sorry Ket, I would’ve posted some of the positive comments but I couldn’t find a single one.

Yes, he was rather blunt.

 

[Verso]

Yes, he was rather blunt.

Oh, that’s something that bothers you now?

 

[im vaccinated]

Special guests. Mmm let me guess! IGy Pop. And the black lady singing one of one of the las vynil album song. Sorry. I forgot her name !

 

[Thewlis]

Details about the day he's playing below.
I suspect it will be the least shown part of the festival as it's a preview. I'm guessing he'll select some of the bands from the 3 full days to play on that night as well.

What the Heck is a Thursday Preview Party?

To show our appreciation for those of you hanging onto your tickets—or for anyone who buys a ticket by July 16, 2020—we’re inviting you to our first-ever Thursday Preview Party.

Then the question is: who will he choose?
Not that many Moz-like artists on the other three days, if any.

 

[ThePoliticalRevolution]

Chicago is a hell hole. Sorry, Chicago.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Moz, if ya do a Lil Wally tribute,
the Turkey Steppers will be there.
They weren't of never seen nothin' like it.

 

[Stephen Hofmann]

Some truly awful American rawk bands on that list........

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

Your first post in this thread, a move only a Morrissey hater like you would make.

 

[Skylarker]

Nine Inch Nails suck.

 

[Deleted member 28251]

Oh, that’s something that bothers you now?

It’s a matter of common knowledge that Elvis Costello is an uncouth racist c***.

 

[ThePoliticalRevolution]

But you know what I might go. I mean, shit, I love Steve.

 

[spazaru]

Possibly the biggest upgrade in the history of music.

 

[Trans]

Badass as I love riot fest. Pumpkins are gonna put on a big set so he’d better bring it. Hard to imagine what other bands any fans here would like playing that day

A common thread aching to be pulled.
