thewayiam Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 So headlining a near 80k capacity festival doesn't mean anything then? Cool The Libertines are headlining a near 80K, they shouldn't be as they just aren't quite there but they are. Foals on the other hand haven't and Bestival isn't even close to 80K, R&L is a MUCH bigger festival. They headlined Parklife and Latitude festival too. Just saying. I'm not sure how it justifies anything? Parklife is not even in the same league and Latitude doesn't touch anything to come into consideration.

mrtourette Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 If Leeds genuinely has only sold around 30k, then I wonder what the bands will think playing to such small crowds compared to other years, or even Reading the previous night? Imagine Metallica walking out to a crowd of 20k because 10k are watching Rebel Sound... As long as they're still getting paid the same I doubt Metallica give a shit how many people they play to.

Whether you like them or not they are huge acts. Foals will be ready to headline Reading next year and I think it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foals will be ready to headline Reading next year and I think it will happen.You've just compared them in size to 2 acts who aren't big enough to headline r&l? Edit- I think foals could headline as Melvin has been trying to push them for years, just saying it's a bad example used Edited August 18, 2015 by lightning1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Still though, Latitude and Bestival headliners are usually either acts that have been around, amassed large followings and a lot of respect in their genres or growing acts that are seen as on their way to headlining major festivals, not just any old middle card act so to say neither fest bears any relevance on future major festival headliners is just super-stupid.

dentalplan Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) They might and they might not. Coheadlining is circumstancial bc if a previous coheadliner said 'no thanks' would the festival have scrabbled around for any other act willing to coheadline or just gone along with three headliners? Fuck a coheadliner it's too early in the year for this shit. Edited August 18, 2015 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
