2019 festival

[DownboundTrain52]

Depending on whether Amo blows up or not - and the next 1975 album too - think they could arguably be both outright headliners. That being said, doubt you'd get them in the same year unless it's Arctic Monkeys or a similar caliber booking for the third day.

If the 1975's popularity is still holding from 2016, they've surely got a shot to do it outright. I'd like to think BMTH could too.

They easily could, but:

1. If they want to play Glastonbury as well, like Foals and Disclosure in 2016, I think R&L might bill them as co-headliners.

2. As shown by Kendrick this year, it isn't just acts who aren't big enough to headline outright who get billed as co-headliners.

BMTH are notorious for playing short headline sets on tour, usually around 75/80 minutes which makes me favour them as a co-headliner next year rather than an outright headliner for much the same reason as Kendrick this year; their set just isn’t long enough.

Early thoughts on who R/L cannot miss out on:

• LORDE (if active) 
• CHVRCHES 
• The 1975 (headline) 
• BMTH (co-head) 
• Disclosure - R1 headline 
• Idles (main 4/5th down) 
• Vampire Weekend (I know unlikely but a subhead to Arctics/1975 would be fun) 
• Fever 333
• The Hunna (as much as we deservedly hate them) - stick them out of the way somewhere
• George Ezra (headliner? Sub to 1975? I’m a rock fan but really enjoy his music) 
• Cabbage
• Sigrid (again)- she’s gonna get bigger
• Frank Carter & Rattlesnakes - somewhere big for them.

Can see something like:

The 1975/Childish Gambino

Drake/Chrvrches

BMTH/21P

I reckon it will be 

Friday- Bring Me The Horizon co headlining with The 1975

Saturday- Drake

Sunday- Arctic Monkeys

I heard TOP being talked about at Leeds this year by the Panic crowd. They will also benefit from parents buying tickets as fans are under the age to go alone.

Either TOP or BMTH co-headlining but I feel the former fits with 1975 better.

So they could well get co-headliner of a form...bigger writing on poster etc but top the night both at R&L?, that's sounds about right to be fair.

What are you on about? You know that doesn't really happen that much and a good portion of their fanbase are 16 and over. Shut it.

Disclosure on the R1 three years after co-headlining? Surely not.

 

The Hunna and Cabbage both could make FR stage headliners like Kate Nash did this year.

Not sure they’re popular enough to even get the Kendrick/Biffy treatment really. I reckon it’ll be a proper co-headline for them.

The Hunna are way too big for the FR Stage.

Third down main then? Radio 1 sub?

Third main or Radio One headline for me.

Are they really that big though? I'm not sure they really are quite that big yet. I'd say 4th down main or R1 Sub max surely. Like I get that they're decent sized and that's been recognised but I feel if booked it'll be like Broco, we all expect 3rd main, NME headline no doubt but in reality be a few slots below. I mean they're not quite the size of Pendulum, Wolf Alice, Skepta (as he was originally booked as the headliner), or even YMAS, Flume or Haim from last year are they?

I think The Hunna are already on the decline, this new album has kinda flopped. I don't reckon they're gonna be booked next year, but if they are then 4th main/R1 sub sounds about right. Would probably be the best slot they'll ever get at a festival before they drop off completely.

Anyone know how well their tour has sold?

Shite apparently. I heard their Birmingham "residency" is barely half sold.

Fair enough. Last I heard was that they were doing arenas so assumed they were big enough for the slots I said. If their shows aren't selling well then aye, forget that.

[kingcrawler]

It’s all been downhill for The Hunna since they postponed their tour because it clashed with exams.

[Gucci Piggy]

It's all been downhill for The Hunna since danz026 listened to them and realised they weren't actually one of his favourite bands.
