iHeartRadio Music Festival 2026: It is sad that a radio monopoly can still bully and make fun of musicians and their fanbase with their huge platform

Image
  edited: So after hearing a iHeartradio host and whole radio program name-call and make fun a fanbase post show this whole concert thing just doesn't really feel right anymore.  I understand sticking up for your place of work because of upset fans and wanting to have a conversation about settimes and lineups but as the host stated himself, there was an agreed upon contract between BTS and iHeart.  Going on an onair rant about a fanbase and artist that iHeart has worked with for years feels unprofessional and with his cohosts just laughing along, agreeing with him is just mean.  Poking fun at an artists name not even trying to pronounce his name correctly multiple times, complaining about ARMY, telling them to suck it...It almost feels like there is still zero progress with how media in American media.  . . . . also ps, the hosts actively are dumbing down the concept of a variety show like viewers are unfamiliar, whilst billing and marketing the event as iHeart ...

you have to see Epik High tour 2026 @NYC next week

 Like I barely know them from interviews they did with BTS's Suga and Rm a while back and even some with the Bigbang guys but like their new songs like umm perf. like I don't know all the kpop lore but in my mind these guys are like the backstreetboys type with more hiphop influence maybe? Like why doesn't American music groups or artist kind of like do this?? like all these new kpop idol groups go to their YouTube for promos and love how its like the og guys hearing from them new idol groups and vise versa with the kids learning from the days way back when wild how now epic high feels like a. variety show with their YouTube page with vlogs, interviews, and challenges but like their music is kinda awesome too? Like why didi this last video, the ballad, why was it so dramatic and perfect, and anime felt like a song on those lo-fi beats to chill to playlists if that makes sense and the 3racha song lol loveeeee @cortis_bighit that's motion w. @Epik High #EPIKHIG...

Stagecoach 2027 lineup dropped!!

Image
  Lineup Has Been Released! by u/JohnLeivas in stagecoach Similar to last year, Riley Green but headlining, his set got cut last year cuz of the crazy weather. Shaboozey just makes sense here. Hardy and Brother Osborne also are acts I have heard before heavily. I am kinda unfamiliar with country and this is just off the cuff.. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Stagecoach (@stagecoach) Zach Top and WIllie Nelson are the legacy acts and Journey that high on the billl is kinda awesome for non country. The Fray is wild cuz the original singer I don't think is in the band still?? Dasha I wonder if this is her debut cuz she was promoted a lot a few years back with Austin. Tedeschi Truck is awesome and they need a lot of hype.  Garth Brooks also feels legacy almost too, Kelly Clarkson is a huge get and pitfall I feel like is a stagecoach staple at this point, it feels like he's always there lol. Matchbox Twenty looks like it'll be fun!Buffal...

what if BTS does headline Coachella 2027????

Image
So like if BTS does headline coachella which honestly could be a thing and  maybe their setlist has to be similar to big bangs right? similar huge asian boyband whop have been around for 10 yrs so maybe not the same size catalog but huge at the moment.  Like so half group numbers and then a handful of their solo projects. Sabrina carpenter did about 25 songs and did 23 with is the exact song count as its tour right now but the length of show is like 2 hrs not the 1.5 headliners get at coachella I think,  BTS' top youtube songs are Dynamite, boys with luv, DNA, MIC Drop, IDOL, FAKE LOVE, Butter, Blood sweat tears, Save me, and Permission to dance.  or maybe similar to gaga where like a third of her setlist was her new album and all her hits. so like probably Body to Body, Swim, Normal, Holligan, FYA, 2.0, Aliens or like animals, tho I love come over too. so it'll be like their Gwanghwamun Square Setlist then with more throwbacks? it was an hour long then add in solos....
