2019 festival

[dentalplan]

According to this article on the NME website, ya can get 100/1 for BMTH headlining and 80/1 for The 1975. Can’t see it online but quite possibly worth tracking down.

It's the guy who had a breakdown because people didn't like The Hunna so I'm not sure.

 

The Hunna are actually a bit shit.

Yes they are 

[pepesilvia]

kinda interested to see if they keep an established 'legendary' (after KoL this year i use that term loosely) headliner when they have so many options with the 1975, BMTH, TOP, drake(?). only one i can think of off the top of my head would be arctic monkeys.

I figured that out once I actually listened to them. I only liked them before because people who's musical tastes usually align with mine told me they were good.

Whoever made those odds is on glue. 7/1 for a band which just subbed the radio1 and 8/1 for a band who literally don't exist as opposed to 80's and 100's respectively for probably the two most commonly suggested bands on this thread?

I wouldn't mind putting down a quid or 2 for BMTH and The 1975 at those odds. The article says it's PaddyPower but I can't find anything on there at the moment. Also those odds are nuts. Slaves at 7/1, have they lost it?

How can you like an artist that you never listened to before?

Coldplay and Bastille won’t be active and I doubt Biffy will headline again at this point. Drake, eh, probably Wireless

I'll often go and see bands purely based on the fact that people who I know to have similar music taste recommended them. The Hunna fall into this category as they got recommended to me by a load of people I go to gigs with, hence me defending them as a potential #3 main stage booking on this thread, however since then I've actually listened to them and it turns out they're just a poor man's version of The Vamps.

Drake did the secret set at wireless this year so he's a stick on to headline it next year.

He replaced a headliner and HEADLINED  the festival, I doubt it.

Still doesn't make any sense. You still hadn't listened to them.

If you find it, could you drop it to me in a PM?  

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't believe those are real odds for one second.

[Odessa]

Yeah why do NME put out an article with made up festival headliner odds a few times a year? Do Paddy Power chuck them a few quid to namedrop their company alongside some fake odds or...? 

Or maybe it's just so it ends up in places like this and we talk about NME. Their articles have gone to shit, but surely their writers are capable of making up more realistic figures than those.

...clickbait.

That's all it is.

He barely headlined though he played like 4 songs and it was unannounced. Plenty of fans missed out. Based on how it sold paying for Drake with a 50k venue is pointless anyway.

Idk I've always seen clickbait as being a misleading/exaggerated headline, rather than an article of straight up lies.

I actually would be surprised by Biffy now even at R&L....they could get away with it once more I reckon maybe. 

If Drake gets an offer from R&L that's where he'll go I would be, he'll sell well and that crowd capacity over two sites is comfortably bigger than at Wireless and he's already headlined it two years ago too. Playing 2016, coming out 18 and doing 19 I doubt it.

[Alfie2001]

I reckon it will be 

Friday- Bring Me The Horizon co headlining with The 1975

Saturday- Drake

Sunday- Arctic Monkeys

Turner third down is a pretty solid bet for me actually come to think of it, he seems to be able to sell out decently sized arenas which is probably the going rate for a third down act. Perhaps radio 1 headliner may suit him a bit better though given his fan base is a bit of a cult following, could be a good alternative to whichever RnB artist is chosen as the RnB headline next year.

Headlining NME is a good shout for Frank, and The Gaslight Anthem would make a great sub to him, if they haven't gone back on hiatus by then.

2014/15 will be 4/5 years ago come next year. That can’t be considered recent years. 

Damn, time flies. I still remember Leeds 2008 very vividly, like it was only a few years ago.
