Who are the Nine Inch Nails ? Have I missed out ?

Well you can only catch one of them, as nine inch nails
plays at the Oya festival. Do you think the festival can
effect Stones' ticket sales? So far it's sold over 30 000 tickets
to Stones at Valle Hovin - so no crisis.
I wonder if some of the band playing at the festival
perhaps will perform as a warm up act for The Stones.
I've heard rumours about the great local rock band Big Bang,
but I think Primal Scream would fit perfect.

I found it strange that they brought in Turbonegro for Metallica. That concert was already sold out and Turbonegro must be the most expensive Norwegian band around (not counting in A-ha).
So a well known local Norwegian band like Big Bang wouldn't be a surprice. They fit Stones.

NIN were one of the biggest bands in the 90s...kind of dark, dissonant...johnny cash did a great cover of one of their tune "hurt":





here's NIN's original version live:





and here's DAVID BOWIE signing it as a duet with trent of NIN:





final one: Bowie with NIN signing "scary monsters":

I don't think they are expensive. These days Turbonegro are performing almost anywhere.They were among the most expensive bands in Norway after the comeback in 2002, but now I think much of the hype around them is gone. Both Big Bang and Turbo would fit to open Stones, they are diffrent bands - but still pure rock'n'roll.
