Who is the 3rd headliner likely to be?

[Bisque]

I loved The Who at the Rose Bowl a few years back.

You're cultured, what were you doing all the way over in Pasadena? I only thought hipsters, artists & vegans ever go there.

The who would sell out the festival...but won't happen so should stop dreaming

[mrtourette]

Meh, they'd sell out the festival in the same way that The Cure were guaranteed to sell out.

[kaosmark2]

The Who are definitely bigger than The Cure.

But The Cure are way better.

[Chinaski_]

Going to go for the surprising and very inspired pick of Metallica

[mrtourette]

They may be bigger, but their fans are just as unlikely to buy an R&L ticket and just as likely to be turned off by the rest of the line-up. Even more so given their other shows over the Summer.

[PDAD]

On the other hand, id say The Who are much more likely to have a larger teenage/younger fanbase than The Cure ever would now...those of which would be more inclined to go to a festival than an arena show...just my opinion.

The who discussion until the next mini rumour comes up haha.

[PDAD]

If there is a person who does not know My Generation, Pinball Wizard, maybe Baba O Riley, they cannot claim to know music.

How many songs would the average teenager know of the who?

Its more interesting than going over Blur/Prodigy etc again

[PDAD]

Not alot then, band ive never got into to be fair...I wouldnt watch them.

Roger daltrey was good in buddy though.

I don't care what anyone says but The Who would sell a shit load of tickets...

They've mostly sold out there dates which are 65-80 quid a pop so I don't think proper Who fans would mind spending an extra 10/20 quid to see The Who do a festival with a load of other bands, maybe even splash out on a weekend ticket? Which are actually cheaper than The Who's cheapest VIP package (which most dates have sold out of) for a weekend full of bands.

[Duw13]

As a young teenage person I love The Who and know plenty of people who do too, and it would certainly be a more popular booking than The Prodigy, Black Sabbath, The Cure, even Blur.

[PDAD]

I can see it now...Quadrophenia in full for its 40th anniversary...chants of 'WE ARE THE MODS' throughout the campistes...ahhh how lovely

...whilst most of them know more Jake Bugg songs than The Who songs.
