Yeah sorry! haha tried to explain it aha!

I'm sorry but I hugely disagree, I pretty much walked to the front for crystal castles and the crowd was quite big for youmeatsix. After youmeatsix I stayed to watch bombay and that was quite big. But I kinda moved back abit for paramore and it was huge! Much bigger than bombay! Half of the crowd left when they were finished.

I was getting crushed like a grape near the back of the golden circle for CC, the other two I saw from the back, same for most of paramore's set and for the others the bulk of the crowd came further back. This is ultimately tedious though as we clearly had different perspectives.

What you can't argue with though is the facts of their single sales and how they don't represent that of a band who should be bumped up to headline and don't really show much indication to this album being any more successful than the last.

When I arrived for The Cure towards the end of the Paramore set the crowd was 'smaller' (basically it was further forward, but they have been because it was more packed) than it was for Bombay Bicycle Club.

I stood at the back of Bombay as I came from Passion Pit, and I was stood further back than when I was at the back of Paramore.

I'm with Foals. Sick off seeing Stone Roses everywhere, wouldn't want to see them at Leeds, although they'd shift a lot of tickets. Think they're a pretty bland band myself, like a fair few songs, but I can see them being incredibly boring live, especially on a 2 hour + set

Heaton Park was the best live performance I've ever seen by any band. A festival set probably won't be as immense as a gig in their hometown of Manchester, but going by reports of V and TITP last year they can still pull it off, and for me I'd definitely get a day ticket just for them.

Well, Ian Brown has become more of an embarrassment the older he's become (trying to rap during Love Spreads :rolleyes:) but Squire, Mani and Reni are still the world class musicians they were in 1989.

Of course I meant boring live for me personally, I know plenty of people who have been recently and said it was amazing, but they're a band I'd rather just chill out to in my garden than stand and watch for 2 hours in a muddy field :P

Yeah, no way was Crystal Castles crowd bigger than Paramore's at Leeds. YM@6 had a really big crowd, but I still don't think it was as big as Paramore's. Bombay on the other hand had a monstrous crowd. Edited by Andre91

I shouldn't get annoyed, but I find really annoying when people suggest their favourite bands to headline regardless of if they are big enough :') Gets on my nerves, it's kinda ignorant.

I remember seeing someone saying that Suede could headline glastonbury because they are a big fan and they have good songs :')

I think Paramore have a greater shove at headlining than 30 seconds to mars. But I can see them headlining in the future. Say they played next year, I reckon Paramore would be above them. Personally.

I think Paramore's new album will sell better than 30stm's. Paramore's two singles from it are much easier to listen to than the new 30stm song which is just garbage.
