Muse played a bunch of other metal and rock festivals in the past, like Nova Rock, Download or festivals like these. Even they have poppier songs like Starlight or Madness, in their catalogue there are bangers like Won't stand down, Stockholm syndrome or Kill or be killed that fit in a metal festival.
Everything is more expensive than then. Bands I've paid around $30 in 2015-2018, now are around 50-60. LP booked for 5M is crazy, but these days there's a bubble around this and is reasonable... In a certain point.
Back in 2017 I was told that headliners in Europe were around 1-2 million, but it depends very much of the band. Big tops like Metallica can easily go up to 3-4M.
I paid around $200 for a 4-day-festival here in Spain, ROck Am Ring/Rock Im park is around $250-300 (w/ camping) for 3 days of shows. 500 for only ONE day is... I don't know what to say.
Some media said that only 1/3 of the 60K tickets were sold when they decided to pull the plug. The lineup was insane, big names everywhere and that must cost pretty much (rumors says that LP and Metallica would get $5 million each for the show).
It's hard to do a personal rank but here I go...
1.- Meteora
2.- Hybrid Theory
3.- A Thousand Suns
4.- From Zero
5.- Minutes to Midnight
6.- Living Things
7.- The Hunting Party
8.- One More Light
It's based more on finding myself listening songs from an specific album rather than an album quality by itself.
I am Passport Plus and the LPU Pit at Frankfurt (GER) was available at the time i entered the pre-sale, but there was not enough tickets to buy for me and my friends so I had to buy right the next area.
It will be the same announcement of Resurrection Fest's side shows (aka Route Resurrection). People say that it will be Sabaton or Electric Callboy arena shows for 2026. Resurrection already said that they're not americans and will be arena shows for 2026.
In your LPU profile must be a presale code (if it isn't there don't worry, it will appear). When the presale starts go to the ticket website and enter the code, you will get a spot in the virtual queue to purchase your tickets.
I know, but they have a very limited budget. Mad cool is like x10-20 bigger. This festival is ruled by "people" (not a big promoter) and Mad cool has LiveNation resources. And Resurrection cannot fight with bigger festivals like Wacken or Hellfest, They're playing in a higher league.
Resurrection fest tried to negotiate with LP management last Sept at their O2 show in London, there are pictures of their booking agent at the show but I don't know if it went right or wrong.
In 2022 Mad Cool had Metallica, Thrice, Placebo, Muse, Deftones, Fever333 and few more rock names.
Resurrection is a small festival, it doesn't have the budget to get a big name like LP and fill the rest of their lineup.
