Yeah you're absolutely right, and tbh I think their last album's direction was more than likely a one off and they'll go back to the standard lads with guitars formula to keep everybody happy and still comfortably be able to headline R/L on the next one, but if not it may be a harder sell, especially if they decide to cull more and more of their older material from the setlists. They'd certainly be the biggest/most in demand booking the festivals could make, but if their next album is more mid tempo lounge songs then they may decide to play somewhere better suited for that kind of stuff.

If you watch their TRNSMT gig, songs like 4 Stars out of Five, Star Treatment and One Point Perspective actually seemed to go down really well, especially the first one which they opened with. The crowd sung every word, they also only played 4 from that album, and 5 of AM. Quite honestly no matter what there next album sounds like they will attract a HUGE crowd. 2 hours is enough for them to show off new stuff, Chuck a couple of TBHC songs in and smash out all their old bangers, of which there are so many it’s hard to decided which ones I’d rather seem them play. 
 

on another note, seriously considering getting TBH&C in vinyl because the album is so brilliant

Will never happen in a million years but I'm hope Rammestein headline one day purely to see the reaction from the dark fruit/fiat 500 twitter lot😂

I mean, aside from the first 2 albums (kind of) they've never kept the same sound on an album 

Who Monkeys?? I think AM is similar but not exactly the same as debut

I mean from album to album its usually a different sound. AM is much more 'american' and radio friendly than debut 

That’s true actually, what would you deem SI&S then

[Dim Sum]

Looking forward to next years line up 

Biffy Clyro / Foals , Skepta

Arctic Monkeys , Tyler The Creator 

Rage Against The Machine , Bring me the horizon

 

Going to be ace 

 

if you look at Spotify TBHC did better then Suck it and see?

Personally love hits like TBHC, Star Treatment and 4 out of five, I think they'll be great to see live mixing in and out of old stuff and new stuff, different sounds. 

 

Then to save some costs with The Vaccines slotting anywhere on the lineup then you've got a lineup

[R Shah]

Apologies for the extensive list haha, notable omissions for me were Panic! At The Disco, Kasabian, Queens of the Stone Age, Eminem and (get in there!) Imagine Dragons.

For anyone who acc thought Capaldi/Courteeners had a shot at headlining, this probably rules them out.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dave gets the highest % of the vote.

i know the list doesn't mean too much and they can't list every major artist on there but i'm surprised to see The Weeknd isn't listed, i expect him to headline the festival within the next few years

[Tom Connolly]

where would you put Weezer on a lineup. Is 3rd down main too low or too high?

I thought we agreed that this survey list meant bugger all.

Although I seem to remember people in the past asking why acts like Rage were on there.

[Andre91]

I just did the survey. 
 

My four headliner choices: RATM, Kanye, The Strokes & Travis Scott. 
 

My four support choices: Die Antwoord, Bombay Bicycle Club, Enter Shikari & Limp Bizkit. 
 

Four acts from their list: Tyler The Creator, Biffy Clyro, MCR & BMTH 

Edited May 19, 2020 by Andre91

[CG31]

I put 

MCR, AM, Dua Lipa, BMTH

Gerry Cinnamon, Foals, SWMRS, Glass Animals

Slipknot, Blur, MCR, AM

[OnlyRevolutions]

Travis Scott, Foals, Tyler The Creator, The Weeknd

BROCKHAMPTON, The Streets, Lime Cordiale, Clairo

Tyler, Blur, Travis, Foals

[CG31]

New IDLES song 

[MIchael_scarn]

These surveys have next to no bearing on what happens the year after and my gut feeling is we're going to have the same headliners with some changes dotted around the lineup including some bump ups on the main and R1 to cover for the acts that have to drop out.

Edited May 19, 2020 by MIchael_scarn

[RarerThanDandyB]

RATM, The Strokes, Travis Scott and Biffy Clyro

IDLES, BMTH, Foals and Glass Animals

RATM, The Strokes, Travis Scott and Biffy Clyro

I understand your point, but there is simply no way I can agree with the bit in bold - their 2nd most recent album AM is absolutely HUGE amongst the younger crowd let alone the older stuff, which the majority regard as their best and rightly so.

Like yeah people would go mental for stuff like Mardy Bum, Fluorescent Adolescent etc. but you forget just how unbelievably big Do I Wanna Know, R U Mine, Dancefloor etc. still are to your average 16-18 year old - irrespective of TBHC or whatever direction their newer stuff may be.

Arctic Monkeys in my opinion are still comfortably the biggest booking R+L could make in terms of the widest appeal and the fastest selling day

Other than Drake only because he rarely does the UK and a day ticket would be cheap vs his shows. Still a gigantic booking for the festival.

EDIT: @Dim Sum TBHC did better than SIAS on spotify because SIAS was released when spotify had barely any users. You can't really compare

That list is way too condensed to just be random in my opinion. Not like Killers would play though due to their stadium tour example but I think the inclusion of Blur shouldn't be completely passed off like every other year.

I selected Strokes, AM, Tame and RHCP

then glass animals, brockhamtpon, vampire weekend and oliver tree

then the same as the top 4 except blur instead of rhcp

[Sam Y]

I'm glad George Ezra isn't on there
