Tour Prediction and Speculation Thread [ARCHIVED] Tour • Page 2660

I was so bummed when they cancelled the Chicago date and I'm so excited for this. i hope they have this as a tour poster. "free from disease....imprisoned by capitalism" is hilarious.

 

Danny Wimmer is still the GOAT of booking 4 day festivals where the first 2 days are just the corniest boomer, gen x, & red state buttrock bands to ever exist but then the other two days actually have some solid hardcore & metalcore acts but ultimately none of their fans buy tickets bc it’d mean paying $400 to have an off duty cop yell “no karate in the pit!” at them

 

Would love if a Gatecreeper / Fuming Mouth / Fleshwater tour came out of the Thursday lineup of Rockville

 

Taproot just released its first new album in ages, and it's ... weird

 

"Weird" is an understatement

 

ha, yeah that song in particular has that classic Taproot melody goin for it but it's such a strange vibe overall

surprised they went through the effort to put together an entire new album with virtually zero promotion, but I'm stoke to see them at Sick New World 2024

 

At first glance I thought the Rockville lineup was meh but after I shortly realized the undercard is STACKED. I would probably be at the side stages majority of the days if I went.

I hope Danny Wimmer does the same thing for Aftershock next year. Their headliners are always solid but majority of the undercard does nothing for me.

 

I'm a HUGE Taproot fan and would love to finally see them live again, but I'm definitely having trouble clicking with the new record.

 

This video looks like it had a budget of 500 bucks

 

Check out their recent setlists on setlist.fm, they are doing tons of older stuff and changing it up every night.

 

Oh, don't worry. I'll 100% go see them if they play anywhere near me.

 

I saw Taproot mainly part of some of absurdly early 00's style package tours when they first came out:

00 opening for Deftones & Incubus
01 opening for Linkin Park (Alien Ant Farm opened)
Ozzfest 2001
03 opening for Disturbed (Chevelle opened as well)

 

This sounds exactly like the taproot I remember except more polished and even catchier. Legit enjoy it a lot on first listen (went to it on spotify, for some reason the youtube version is so quiet).

 

i saw Taproot open for Linkin Park at the Fillmore in SF in January 2001, shortly before Hybrid Theory's explosion. Stephen Richards jumped from the balcony down to the pit, it was a wild scene.

 

He did the same thing at Roseland in NYC. Funny enough, that show was originally supposed to be at the 1100-capacity Irving Plaza but there was so much demand they bumped it up to the 3500-capacity Roseland.

 

No idea what the Plain White T's draw is these day, but this is cool for Pollyanna!

 

The venues tell you all you need to know. 500-1.2k people by the looks of it.

 

In case anyone's curious what Plain White T's has been up to lmao

 

Yea that was awful, but the new album they are about to release is really really good.

 

I'd be shocked if the 400 cap rooms in Columbus and Pittsburgh get even halfway full

 

Chain Reaction seems like a really small venue for them, but perhaps in overestimating their draw these days

 

LCD Soundsystem NYE show happening in SF, apparently

Holy fuck I didn't think a band like them who had a couple top 40 hits at their peak would be playing 500 cap venues.

 

I mean isn’t that the trajectory of most one hit wonders 20 years after the hit?

 

I would definitely say they had more hits than Hey There Delilah. HTD was definitely their biggest hit but they still had Rhythm of Love, 1, 2, 3, 4, and Hate (I Really Don't Like You). The first two even went platinum.
