How would you have made previous line ups stronger?

[VCK]

I'd have slotted Royal Blood in between Foo Fighters and A Day To Remember last year, as they suited subbing the Foos more than The 1975 and moving all the bands below the Foos down a slot would have looked just about right. Maybe given The 1975 sub slot to The Streets instead or even Tame Impala or Catfish if they were willing to take a sub slot.

Likewise, I'd have moved The Gaslight Anthem in between Alexisonfire and Royal Blood in 2015, and moved Modestep to The Libertines day. Generally that year was one of the stronger line ups over the past decade but having Gaslight that low and Alexisonfire that high just looked odd.

Then I'd have had someone headlining above Fall Out Boy in 2018.

How is any of that making the lineups stronger? You’re just saying what you would have preferred  

[charlierc]

Well you could argue a lot of the idea you're making the line-up stronger is subjective, but I can't talk because when it was first announced Royal Blood were playing this thing, I thought it was to sub the Foos and I would have happily gone had that been the case rather than my usual party piece of being hesitant and not booking it.
