Euro 07 Support Bands

ilockyer · January 2007

Idlewild are an OK band, saw them open for the Pixies in Edinburgh a couple of years ago, and they were reasonable. Got blown away by the headliner, as you'd expect. Personally, I prefer a band to be opening that will put on an amazing show and give the headliners something to follow.

The Black Crowes and Velvet Revolver have been mentioned on the Black Crowes message board as rumored openers for PJ in Europe.

Fuck YES!!!! love the Crowes....

Chrysophylax · January 2007

Since Smashing Pumpkins are playing Rock am Ring and Rock im Park in the beginning of june, I don't see why they cannot open for PJ in Europe!?

That would be sensational - with Black Crowes as a very close 2nd choice:-)

The Raconteurs (just cos i think they're fucking amazing)

I hear you ... they'll be around for the festivals anyway! I hope to see them at Werchter in any case. I've also heard people mention Smashing Pumpkins and dEUS ... I could most certainly live with those too

Good call on Idlewild; great live band too. I caught a small show in Brighton around the time of the last album, and they were great live.

Who remembers Monkeywrench(?) at Wembley in 2000? I don't think they had a great sound (well, not from where I was up on Mike's side).

Sonic Youth

i cant stand another dose of mmj, not my cop of tea. Iwill say WOLFMOTHER were the mutts nuts in barca-could do with a good support like that .
got the crowd going and mike and ed doing songs with them really got the crowd buzzing

Actually to be fair, after he played a few songs i got into him. His band were good and some of his songs had a good feel to them. He's definitely much better live than when I've heard him on the radio.

I also thought He took his beating quite well too... hehehehe

yeah, he was ok as far as I can remember. I wasn't really paying attention so like I said, I've no memory whatsoever aboot the songs..

he did. he deffinately knew what he was in for.

poor thing. handled it well.

Hatfield · January 2007

I think Wilco would be a great choice for opener. I don't know how big they are in Europe but I am sure they could use the exposure. They have a new album coming out in May. That would be a hell of a show!

Weird that MMJ doesn't translate to across the pond. They are one of the few opening bands I looked forward to seeing.

Smashing Pumpkins would be cool, but I doubt it. They might be play Roskilde though.....
dEUS would be perfect. Haven't seen them live since the time around Worst case scenario.

Tombourine · February 2007

Arcade Fire would be fun, even just to see Pitchfork's reaction. They really loathe the fact that Sonic Youth, The Ramones, My Morning Jacket etc. have opened for Pearl Jam (I believe when MMJ were announced as openers they said "Continuing Pearl Jam's trend of having far superious opening bands...").

dEUS would be awesome in Nijmegen!!!!

robbutland · February 2007

Queens of the stone age have a new album out in june.

Schoki · February 2007

Sparta would be great and they opened for PJ before. Their new album is amazing and they could use some promotion overseas for it.

stone vedder · February 2007

its linkin park in poland! not too happy about that at all! pumpkins are playing a lot of the festivals..cant imagine them doing the support for the rest...there playin the nova rock fstival in vienna the day after pj i think..should be cool...i've heard incubus and possibly kings of leon for Nijmegen..that wouldn't be too bad...and dont know bout the rest of them.

jack_bass_player · February 2007

i want bloc party in london please

i love the band, and they really are amazing live

robbutland · February 2007

i say again, queens of the stone age have a new album out in june.

Their first album was amazing. The rest sucked.

Maybe Kyuss will support instead!

are you serious? Songs for the deaf? have u heard it?

stone vedder · February 2007

yeah queens are amazing! there great live as well..i seriously doubt they'l be supporting tho..they'l do there own tour...but if we're dreaming we may as well have good ones..like queens!

sammer · February 2007

for now i'm going to nijmegen and werchter: i'm hoping for some wise dissicions like no linking park or block party but fine bands like smashing pumpkins, gomez, admiral freebee, triggerfinger, ryan adams, sir neil young may always support them (but that is just me dreaming)

Housing Jim · February 2007

I really hope it isn't Queens of the Stone Age.....they are hideously over-rated.

They're also one of the worst live bands I've ever seen....and thats up against some pretty stiff competition!

Them supporting PJ would be the most rock n´ roll ever!

ilockyer · February 2007

Sonic Youth are in Europe this summer, earliest dates showing on their website are 22 June, would be good if they opened at Wembley. Of course, an acoustic set from PJ would be better as an opener. Am seeing SY at the Roundhouse in Camden in August which will be very cool. All of Daydream Nation.

GodWasInTheRadio · February 2007

... and for Duesseldorf, the Oscar goes to

Interpol

hmmm - really like them, but opening for PJ seems a strange combination.

but - MMJ have been a weird choice too, and imho a choice that worked.

let's wait and see

icemanap · February 2007

What about Take That or some winner/runner up from some none-descript 'talent' show? Then we can throw things at them!
