the wonderwhy Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Why would it? It continues to book strong, varied line-ups that suit its target audience. There's nothing to suggest its gonna go down the pan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing to suggest its gonna go down the pan. Except 2012 put a lot of people off and 2013 sold terribly. The full line up should really be out by now but instead there are four or five bands. Four months between line up release and the festival isn't good for one that's just sold poorly and is also reliant on a 'strong, varied line-up' to attract people from mainland UK. R+L could even have their next announcement before IOW's. We know how dangerous the festival market is now anyway so I don't think there is room for ones that struggle for a few years anymore.

There's nothing to suggest that ticket sales were significantly worse than 2012 or any other fest last year. I'd imagine they haven't announced anything since Christmas because tickets have been at early bird prices for most of the time since then, and I'd except that they're being held back by an act that is clearly holding back lots of acts across Europe.

rafflesia Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) R&L 2015 Up&coming: The Black Keys Godlike: Arcade Fire Legendary: Radiohead Yes, I'm using that old formula. I personally think Muse will be at Glasto next year. And IOW should and will be cancelled for sure.

Gucci Piggy Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 If Radiohead are at festivals next year, it won't be R&L. Glasto would book them over Muse, I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine they haven't announced anything since Christmas because tickets have been at early bird prices for most of the time since then, and I'd except that they're being held back by an act that is clearly holding back lots of acts across Europe. The festival made the classic 'struggling festival' move and sold tickets for half price on Viagogo last year. They were the only festival that did that so I guess that's something. If rawaudioinput did bump into Giddings then he was very vocal in how and why it failed to perform and what he was planning to do to get headliners this year. And that's the thing, they shouldn't be at early bird prices - the last few years the whole line up was out by now. It's somewhat optimistic to 'expect' a big headliner is halting release of the whole line up but yeah, it's possible. It probably won't matter much as they can't seem to get bands to agree not to play mainland UK and denting potential ticket sales. Either way, it's just a [somewhat bold] prediction. I'm not knocking the festival and saying it's shit, I just don't see much of a future in it. No need to be upset.

Gucci Piggy Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 So we'll get Muse next year at R&L? I can't imagine them at V. If Muse aren't at Glasto I'd imagine IOW/V. They could easily still be at Gkasto, though. Then in 2016 we'll get Muse and Radiohead yeah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I'm not upset, I don't really care for it- I'm just saying it looks just as popular as ever from my point of few & can't see why it would get cancelled.

I think they would headline R&L someday eventually, just like Radiohead surprisingly headlined R&L in 2009. I don't think they will be at Glasto or V next year because it's so soon. Maybe next year at R&L? Another bold prediction. Edited January 26, 2014 by rafflesia95 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
