What are Chemical Brothers up to next year?
I'd rather they weren't booked though as I've seen them headline main stages at festivals and it falls flat.
However in a tent they're amazing.
Seen people saying a lot of big names and Victorious don't do 3 big headliners, they still pad the line up out like a 2 day festival imo, 1 smaller headliner and it's usually the Saturday and they're a pop act. With a solid indie on the Castle. Done it for years
Rudimental on common, Bloc Party on Castle
The Streets- Manics
Paolo- Bastille
Jamie T - Pixies
The Common act is never imo a huge step up on the Castle headliner in these occasions in terms of size.
What's the word on Scissor Sisters? Are they doing any fests? Could see them headline Victorious on the Saturday. How's their tour selling?
The 1975 in this weird spot where, for years, I have backed them as Glastonbury headliner material - feel they've probably been there since they topped R+L in 2019 for the first time.
But they also, strangely, feel one dud of a record away from missing out on that boat entirely, and therefore arguably sinking as a satisfactory repeat option the longer down the line we go.
I'm not saying it definitely does - because you can look at plenty and see it doesn't - but I think headlining Glastonbury can sometimes safeguard your status in the pop-culture sphere and help ensure you are a draw for festivals like these.
True. I haven't listened to any of the new stuff by Pixies. Not that I think it'll be bad, I just don't have the appetite for it. They have seminal works out there, and they won't top that.
