Ill most likely get slated for this but I think with 1 maybe 2 more albums as successful or even more than A Flashflood of Colour Enter Shikari can headline and no matter what you say about their music they put on a good show, so much energy. Seem to go down well at reading aswell always drawing decent crowds. I just hope they miss out reading this year and next year and come back big In 2015

Yeah that's the problem, it depends how their next album goes I guess, AFFOC got a lot more coverage but still obviously not enough and they're not exactly radio friendly, don't think they aspire to be either which is what I love about them. Haha Good effort, seen them like 9 times now and amazing every time. Nah I guess you're right, think they will definitely sub in the near future and they fully deserve it imo.

Yeah I think they would have gained a lot of new followers from AFFOC, getting #1 midweek and #4 end of week for a band like that is pretty impressive and like you said if they can produce another huge album which I think they can then they might be in with a chance, here's to hoping

I think the main problem with these "Future Headliners" is that they fail to retain the status.

Looking back every "future headliner" only manages to be a poor headliner off NME hype & then 2 years later

no one cares.

The Darkness - 04

Franz Ferdinand - 06

Razorlight - 07

Arcade Fire - 10

MCR - 11

All these bands were considered poor headliners that year as they were being pushed up to headliner but yet since then they haven't retained that status (apart from Arcade Fire). Therefore were constantly just going to be bumping up bands every now again which will never headline again while repeating the likes of Killers, KOL & Arctic Monkeys etc.

What do people reckon to Noel Gallagher? I reckon with another album the size as his debut, with 4 or so singles getting regular airplay, he'd be bona fide headline size. I find his solo stuff a tad dull but it's alright, think he'd pull a solo headline slot off?
