There is no way vaccines are moving up to sub, their new album hardly sent shockwaves and they haven't had big slots at other festivals either.

Gonna get a big boost when they cure Coronavirus though 

[R Shah]

Is Gerry Cinnamon right now bigger than Jake Bugg was in 2014?

If AM headline can see Gerry subbing in a similar kind of slot.

I think he meant that your grammar was a bit off

I know what he meant but don't word your sentence like a dickhead when it's really not a big deal. It's quite obvious what I meant but some words input incorrectly on my phone. Honestly whi cares

Jake Bugg had one album that went big, Gerry has had two over a 3 year spell with a decent couple singles at the start and has smashed TRNSMT two years in a row. Gerrys gonna stick around

Both very big and probably on the same level generating a lot of hype.The crowd for jake bugg in 04 subbing AM was massive. However its short lived hype and Gerry will probably disappear in the not too distant future just like Jake Bugg. Hes at top of his hype now but that will fade. Can't see him having longevity,just a trend in a period of time in my opinion.

Mate all of jake Buggs 4 albums charted in the UK Top 10. Thats pretty big if you ask me. Im not a fan of him or anything but i think Gerry will just be similar to him hype and trendy for a while then he will vanish. Just my opinion lol

I don’t, there’s something about Gerry, he’s a little different mostly because of like his drum machine and harmonica, but also because of the connection he has with Scotland in general

[Andre91]

Gerry Cinnamon seems like a generally upbeat guy who has some personality whereas Jake Bugg was a po-faced twat who thought he was the new Bob Dylan.

shame the 1975 have only just done the festival, the new album is great! 

Well the album was originally supposed to be out in time for last years festival but just kept getting delayed. I’ve always struggled with them but the hilariously mixed reaction to the new album ranging from ‘their masterpiece’ to ‘an absolute mess’ has made it an essential listen for me today so looking forward to that.

I think it’s epic, first half is a bit slow after People but still absolutely amazing. Not what I expected tbh, less Indie vibes more something else vibes with some of the slow ones

Do we think Blur would get a similar reaction to RATM if announced?

100%. They played the Brits a few years ago and social media was full of 'who are Blur?'. Can't imagine the years since then has done anything to boost their existence in the eyes of the typical Reading/Leeds crowd.

I think slightly less tho, many people will know Parklife and Song 2. I think they’re prolly more popular

Agreed, especially with the uk crowd. 

[Andre91]

Get The 1975 back in 2021. Who cares if it will have only been 2 years.

So fucking painful to read this. Without blur all these indie bands the kids love wouldn’t exist.

oh well

One thing that’s obvious is that they’ve matured as a band now. Imo they are a proper U.K. band now and should be held in the same view as the Kasabian, Muse, etc of the festival scene. I don’t know what more they have to do to headline places like Glastonbury tbh.

They’ll headline Glastonbury in the next few years, no question. It was probably supposed to be next year but that may well get pushed back a year now due to all this going on.

And yeah, as much as it pains a lot of people they’ve certainly earned their place amongst other festival headliner mainstays. Don’t ever see them dropping back down at this point.

the new album is fantastic imo, can understand some of the criticism it is getting although the main point i'm seeing is that there is too much filler, The End and Streaming are the only two tracks i would label as filler and every other song on the album is uniquely brilliant in its own way.. would even go as far to say this is the best album i've heard in a VERY long time. Disappointed i won't be seeing them in August like planned because i'm so excited to see these songs live especially Shiny Collarbone and What Should I Say (if they perform them live) so i would be fully on board to have them back again at R&L
