Foals are pretty damn big. They sold out two nights at Ally Pally on their last tour. They managed to draw a huge crowd as a secret set at Glastonbury last year, around 80,000 showed up. They are definitely still headliner material. 

Was there. Fun set. Would put money on saying there wasnt 80k people. That area can't even hold 30-40k.

Gerry is subbing surely?

Guys I know who’s subbing Liam

 

 

Well... there is a gap in their schedule.

I'd be surprised if there was anyone in-between the two going to be added on the bill, particularly as he's big enough to be playing Hampden Park.

Monthly Listeners on Spotify:

Stormzy: 13,584,691 

Rage Against The Machine: 6,532,034

Liam Gallagher: 1,653,912

Liam is by far the weakest out of the three. He wouldn't be headlining if it wasn't for Oasis. Is there many people who are going to be like "No Liam! Don't play another Oasis song, play one of your new solo album!" People are going to see Oasis songs, not his singles.

Are these numbers correct?

Apologies if I’m reading these numbers incorrectly but, if they are correct,I find it absolutely incredible how RATM are still getting half the listeners of hot flavour of the moment Stormzy despite not releasing anything for 20 years.

Worth a look at the 'where people listen' bit on Spotify. All of Rage's top 5 places abroad (top 4 in the Americas), Stormzy has 3 of his top 5 in UK and Ireland. Rage's numbers are impressive but the gap would be quite a bit bigger if based on UK listeners

yes mate

it’s also important to remember oasis still has 14 million listeners so like, it’s a given that liam will play some

Foals could sub Liam? Also could see the strokes being a secret. I can also see Lewis Capaldi, Glass Animals, Little Simz, Loyal Carner and Jade Bird playing.

Gerry Cinnamon is subbing Liam. Also no way Lewis Capaldi plays, he's way too big for any slot left.

They’re subbing him at trnsmt

The sub is literally already announced. Don't get your hopes up, it ain't happening. 

[TheWaters]

While I agree with what people are saying that the sub is most likely announced in Gerry, don’t be so certain and decisive about it. We all thought Dua Lipa was subbing the co-head/third down in 2018 as she had a logo but was bumped down a lot neater the festival when N.E.R.D. Were announced.

Its quite unlikely but still a possibility.

[VCK]

Gerry Cinnamon is a bigger name in the UK than A Day To Remember are, or Panic were before they released High Hopes. Or indeed Migos are. Not the most exciting choice for a sub but no denying he's very popular at the moment.

[Matt42]

Spotify doesn’t mean shit.

Stormzy gets high streaming figures because he’s a Radio 1 darling. His music is probably found in all the popular music playlists.

Rage are an international act. Their listeners will be all across the world not just in the UK.

Liam Gallaghers fans probably don’t give a shit about his new music. Also they are probably streaming Oasis songs not Liam lol.

[Properbigfan]

Not mine

[Pottsy2913]

Well, all stations go tomorrow when tickets go live. Me and a mate are getting a day ticket for Leeds Friday purely to see Rage (he also really likes IDLES, although I'm not so keen), and I'm buzzing for it.

For anyone else going purely for Rage, I will hopefully see some of you crazy bastards in the pit 😉

[VCK]

I've been on this forum for about fifteen years and I can't remember the last time this place went mental over a headliner being announced like it did with Rage. Not even when they last played in 2008?

Maybe Radiohead in 2009? Pearl Jam 2006? I don't recall it being like that though. This topic read like a matchday thread on a football team's forum when said team scored a last minute winner.

Honestly I was in the car and it just slowly built to that rolling stone article, them were the times 

[jamieaslee]

Charli XCX was actually quite funny last year. Been quite a few pop acts on the main stage with Dua Lipa the other year too. Who could it be this year?

[Matt42]

So who is replacing slowthai then?

[rfc_478]

Gerry’s a sub, no question. But it looks like there’s a slot to fill below him 

[jonnyisRFC]

Lol at Slowthai

I can’t even tell what happened there, who was actually in the wrong?

[Fuzzy Afro]

Gerry will sub, I think of 2 obvious candidates to play before him:

 

Frank Turner and the sleeping souls: Frank played R&L for 10 years in a row but has now missed the last 3. He will surely return at some point and playing 3rd down makes sense.

 

DMAs: Maybe a slight stretch to put them 3rd but they are playing Brixton and Ally Pally this year which puts them on par with 3rd down regulars like the Vaccines, Blossoms and the Wombats. With LG and Gerry playing, the dark fruits brigade will be out in force on day tickets so adding DMAs would make sense.

Yikes, don’t worry saw the second video.

Do you reckon they’ll actually drop him from the lineup for that?

How he was to Katherine Ryan was pretty fucking bad. As it was the NME awards I imagine the crowd was full of festival bookers.

Time will tell.
