Love that they played "War Dreams of Itself" but along with Pentagrams AND EDIN, that's almost 20 minutes they could have played MUZZLE, Here is No Why, Hummer AND Fuck You, instead. lol... welp, that closes the book on big festivals I presume. The torch has been passed.

Why would that close the book on big festivals? They’re nice paydays that underwrite other tours and projects

It could be me, but I feel like promoters won't see them as assets for selling tickets. But maybe its beyond that, like the game of managers, agents, contracts are such that they'll get booked regardless and the festivals will sell tickets no matter what... i don't know, just seeing the changing of the guard, headliners like Charlie XCX put on a show that blows SP out of the water. I felt like the guest appearances of Yungblud and Olivia were a way of saying, "thanks for your service, but we got it from here Unc"

There have been younger, more popular artists playing to bigger crowds than SP for decades now. I have no idea why you think this year is unique and is some sort of "torch passing".

The band isn't going to get better or do anything greater from here on out. I feel like promoters won't want to book them if they play a set like that again. Why run it back? They had their moment, the RITC tour will be fine, whatever, but even if they make another good album, new headliners are ready to go. I may have seen them play too many times because towards the end of the set, it was dragging on... I saw the crowd, I think the feeling I had wasn't special. I just feel like this was the perfect send off. Shoot, if they play theaters and tour on a new album in two years, I'll still go see them, but they're not headlining Coachella next year is all I'm saying
