Mumford and Sons Will Headline R/L 2013

[cheeseisamazing]

I'm not looking into getting into a debate at how you hate this band, but i generally think these will be the headliner act

Mumford and sons- Sigh no more sold sold 1.4 million in the USA, and over 1.2 million in the UK

I don't even wanna put it up for debate at how big this band has become. a massive fan base, massive amount of press

If Melvin bean books this band as a headliner he'll have Uk exclusivity for them meaning that people can only see them at Reading and Leeds next summer* (not everyone is a craxy festival and wishes to travel to TiTp or Oxygen, and I'd assume this is also Mumfords main fan base) Basically, its a massive ticket pull. Unless they've already been booked to play somewhere else, where again they'll be headliners

The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, The Darkness,Linkin Park & Razorlight all only had 2 Albums when they headlined. Also, apart from Link Park, I don't think anyone had the same amount on any of their sales as Sigh No more

(I'm now saying i'll take this back if they play Glasto- Of which i think they will headline)

Let's hope they get a good NME headliner.

Bigger than Florence?

[Chiefski]

Subheadlining, no more, and they will be one of the bands that are everywhere

If you don't want to put it up for debate then why put it up on such a contentious forum?

And i also agree that they will sub

I'm not sure as they were touring and playing Scottish fests but didn't show up in England this year.

[jump]

I'm pretty sure they did some shows in England during the summer? regardless, they will have a new album to push come next summer

Would probably agree with those locations, if not Bestival then Latitude.

Couldn't this have gone in the 2013 thread?

there was know one shifting more tickets than Flo and she couldn't get above sub.

[howlinpete]

Would you get more money being at one festival exclusively, or by playing pretty much every festival in the country like munford and sons would inevitably do?

As long as there was a great alternative on the other stages I wouldn't care tbh. Beck on the NME please.

[jk1]

I reckon same slot as Florence and similar schedule.

Arena tour will probably go on sale end of September when the album is out for early next year and then they'll sub R/L.

I can't imagine the festival have booked them before the second album is out incase it bombs

[Cieran]

My favourite band by far, I was gutted they wasn't announced last year or this year, i kept expecting them too.

I hope they sub-headline mainstage or headline the NME tent! they need to headline NME or sub main before they can headline the festival.

If you dont want to put it up for debate then why put it up at all?

[gazza_20]

Yeah that was kinda worded really Badly, What i ment is if someone was like 'Nah there a tiny band' Obviously the debate is if there big enough to headline.. what a fail..

Indeed. It kinda makes more sense to debate every band individually as everyone keeps going off topic and people keep suggesting things that have ether been dis proven or just ain't gonna happen

Yeah the Florence thing kinda does make me lose faith, as Lungs has more sales than Sigh no more (its like a million)

but then if Florence was a big ticket pool it would of paid off to try and get her as a exclusive?
