Dunno where they'd fit these days - they're certainly not a headline proposition anymore and I doubt they would accept anything lower than sub.

They said recently that they want to headline it again. “Didn’t know you could headline it twice” until Coldplay and Muse the other year. Someone’s not been keeping them looped in, for their own good.

Are they that much less a live draw than The Killers in the UK? Don’t get me wrong, their time has come and gone for such things as far as I’m concerned, but then I feel the same about the latter.

The Killers to headline, Stereophonics to sub and Toploader in the sunset slot.

You’ll be able to see exactly that line-up in Minehead Butlins in a few years time.

Stereophonics have been taking non-headline slots in the UK for the past decade or more. The Killers haven't.

Toploader only play when there’s moonlight.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And generally not in front of an enthusiastic audience.

Didn't Toploader sometimes play Moonlight twice in a set? Tragic that is.

I believe so. It's what the crowd wanted...but for fuck's sake, have some dignity.

Queen used to play We Will Rock You twice a night.

They did when I saw them last year.

Kenny Rogers played The Gambler about eight times during his legends slot.

Crowd: "DON'T TAKE YOR LUV TUH TOWN"

Rogers: "... that's so bad"

I'm certain Craig David played the same tune twice on Pyramid. Or if not, it was the same tune with a slight remix.

U2 started & ended with Vertigo in 2005 at the Millenium Stadium.

Jay Z and Kanye finished their watch the throne shows playing ...Paris 5 times. I actually think they managed to pull it off as well.

[Bradders]

I’m sure they surpassed 5, seem to remember hearing they did it like 13 times or something at some shows? Might be my memory exaggerating though.

You're right, was about 13 on their Paris show.

Think it was 4 or 5 when I saw it in Manchester.

Too big for that, crowd would be dangerous.

The Pogues once did 'Rainy Night In Soho' twice during a set, but I think that was just cause Shane McGowan was too pissed to remember they'd already done it.
