Headliner Difficulties?


Guest chickenfire

Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone else has seen the news but The Isle of Wight festival has changed dates next year to the Glastonbury weekend. This might result in difficulties in Rock Ness securing certain bands as the festival usually share bands and in the case of the last few years a Headliner (kasabian 11', Strokes 10' The Prodigy 09'). I just wanted to know if anyone else thinks that might make booking a headliner more difficult as a band might not want to make a trip across to the UK twice in June? :unsure:

The reason Arcade Fire were at Oxygen last year and not TITP is because Reading and Leeds had them on UK exclusives. As for where Daft Punk would play, It'll just come down to who offers the most cash and sadly I think TITP would win that battle.

Could everyone please stop saying Daft Punk...

As much as we all want to see it (and i've no doubt rockness would sell out for the first time). I reckon there's more chance of David Attenbourgh doing a strip tease on the main stage.

Daft Punk will be too busy spending four years making the soundtrack for Disney's live action Pinnocchio adaptation.

...and that includes abbreviating it.
