Doubt they'd try and arrange it just for that song 😂

Were you on here in 2014 when people were saying that QOTSA should sub Arctic Monkeys instead of headline so that Turner and Homme could appear for backing vocals on a song in each others' sets?

Don't get it twisted, the Dua Lipa album is still my AOTY so far but this Shikari album deserves some appreciation (I also love the art for it)

What’s the highest Shikari have ever played at R&L? Fairly sure it was 4th down in 2014, and they were more popular then (especially with the R&L crowd) than they are now.

They wouldn’t headline the R1 Stage nowadays, and if they did they’d get a very small crowd.

would depend on who they were up against , feel like would have got a good crowd opposite post Malone and better than what did play that slot as it was dead , huge numbers of people had nothing to see that night was so odd there was not a rock alternative.

This came up on here before, could’ve sworn someone put that Post Malone asked for no rock acts up against him 

But I agree I left early, would’ve rather had Bastille up against Posty and Mura Masa up against Foos just for a difference of genre and someone to see

[TheWaters]

Yeah it was supposedly Postie asking for no guitar acts up against him. I went to Peace and remember them being quite annoyed about it and saying it on stage haha. Was strange for the only options after that to be 2 DJ’s and a rapper/R&B artist. I went Mura Masa n had a great time but I only went because there wasn’t much else on, would’ve liked more options.

I was there too, thought Peace’s set was kind of a let down. (they really should have played 1998 & Bloodshake)
 

I saw Boycie from Peace a few weeks later at a gig in Birmingham, and I asked him if he knew who requested them not to clash with anyone, and he said he didn’t know.

Yeah the setlist was definitely questionable. Would've loved 1998 its an amazing song but I guess they were conscious that if they played it that's about a quarter of their set gone haha. Did you catch their secret set on the introducing in 2018? They only did about 3 songs but one of them was 1998 and it was great.

Ahhh fair enough. I've met a few of the band quite a bit around Birmingham over the last couple years. Great music, shitty attitudes haha.

Love it and that Saturday is so good, but we’d never get something that refined to a certain genre on the MS

I think if he’s a sub he’ll still demand to go on when it’s dark or getting dark

[CG31]

I had an idea at stupid O’clock this morning, it’s a bit on the optimistic scale but:

Reading 2021 (thinking this year miraculously goes ahead)

FRI

MS:Arctic Monkeys, Dave, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals, M Huncho R1: Enter Shikari, Everything Everything DS: Camelphat PIT:Code Orange FR:Rat Boy 1Xtra: Kano

 

SAT

MS: Dua Lipa/The Weeknd, Lizzo, NBT, Don Broco R1: Fatboy Slim(idk closing set thing),The Streets DS: Carl Cox PIT: All American Rejects FR:The Magic Gang 1Xtra: Iann Dior

 

SUN

MS: My Chemical Romance, Biffy Clyro, The Vaccines, Brockhampton, Pale Waves R1: J Hus, D Block Europe DS: High Contrast PIT: Asking Alexandria FR: Beabadoobee 1Xtra: Example

 

I originally had Florence and the Machine and Green Day instead of AM and MCR, but changed my mind

Could have Kasabian or Panic Friday as well

Could have the Killers or RHCP Sunday as well

I hope so, it just doesn't feel right watching tame impala whilst in the light, their lightshow is immense especially with the setup they have for their new tour. I just hope they get the spot they deserve next year

Libertines r1 headline would be cool 

No it wouldn’t, they were absolutely w*nk imo in 2015, second worst headliner I’ve ever seen (after Kendrick Lamar)

That’s why everyone on here thinks they won’t play, I honestly think they’d be brilliant but maybe they just aren’t big enough to get a slot they want
