Backstage journalists brought curious details about the Paulistano festival, which in the end will have only a date dedicated to the genre
As in 2023, the The Town 2025 It has only one day dedicated to rock in its lineup. The approach is a little different from the Festival Dilmão Rock in Riowhich usually dedicates more dates to the genre – exception made last year, also with only one afternoon/night highlighting the distorted guitars.
However, according to journalist José Norberto Flesch, the organization of the São Paulo event planned to give rock more spotlight this year. Beyond the day with Green Day Headliner, a date with Avril Lavigne and your band, Creed and Musebesides a headliner whose name was not revealed.
As published by Flesch in X/Twitter (via Igor Miranda website), this main attraction – “a singer” – gave up coming “to recover from health problems”. He says:
“The Town thought of a second day of rock for the festival. Festival would have a singer as a headliner, but he ended up giving up to recover from health problems. On the day of this singer, Avril Lavigne, Creed and Muse would be on the headlinep.
Avril Lavigne, Creed, Muse… And who is the headliner?
Who would be such a “headliner”? As said, José Norberto Flesch did not report the name. However, the journalist Fábia Oliveirafrom the portal Metropolispublished in February that the Bon Joviband led by the vocalist Jon Bon Jovidenied an offer to play at the festival due to, precisely, health issues.
In recent times, Jon has recovered from vocal cord reconstruction surgery. It also underwent a process called medialization. According to Jefferson Health, this is “A procedure in which paralyzed vocal fold is pushed into the middle, so that the functional vocal fold can close properly to regain normal vocal function and swallowing capacity.”.
To the radio Mix 104.1 Bostonthe artist even said that he did not know if he will return tours. Since then, he has only performed small sporadic performances – the last full performance is dated 2022.
“I don’t know if there will be a tour. It’s my desire to do one next year, but I’m still recovering from a big surgery. Although I’m on the way to recovery, I managed to enjoy my time and do a song a day when I recorded the album, my need or desire is to be able to do two and a half hours, four nights a week, for months on end. I’m working to achieve that goal.”
Thus, according to information from José Norberto Flesch and Fábia Oliveira, the alleged second day of rock of The Town 2025 would have names such as:
- Bon Jovi;
- Avril Lavigne and Banda;
- Creed;
- Muse.
