What 💀💀💀

Well what genre would you say he is? He isn’t grime and it’s not quite hip hop.

Does it matter what sub-genre of rap he is?

I don’t think R&L has anywhere near the pulling power it used to have to lock artists down or exclusives. Dave can comfortably headline R&L and if he’s around Glasto time, I can’t see Emily passing down a chance to book him when he’s around. Whilst his second album has been big he’s not quite at glasto headline level yet, so I think it’s a good time.

They will want a big UK Rap artist (it’s technically drill but I’m just going to call it Rap) on the pyramid stage for sure.

Dave will headline Glasto next time he plays. He's not gonna sub next year.

Yup. I'm not a fan of that sort of thing but nothing against either. But his tour is WAY bigger that Foals or Disclosure did when they co-headlined Reading and subbed/headlined Other stage.

hip hop is the general term like rock. Dave easily falls under hip hop. 

I didn’t realise this would be such a controversial point but oh well. Either way I still think he could be there and a sub would be about right for him.

I doubt he’s going to get much bigger than he already is, as he’s not going in the same mainstream direction that Stormzy does. Aka I don’t think Dave is going after the mums.

But all of those things as well as drill are rap.

You got it mixed up. Rap is one element of hip hop. The term hip hop is older than rap, originally rapping was called MCing. 

Instrumental trip hop is a type of hip hop even though it has no rapping.

Fair enough mate didn’t think that deeply about it. Doesn’t change the fact that Dave and drill are both rap music.

[1986]

Probably unnecessarily getting into the weeds but I just thought of rap as a type of vocal, either you rap or sing (or whatever else) Not forgetting the urr great days of Nu Metal when rappers were all over heavy music.

So hip-hop, grime, drill are just genres of music based on their sounds or origins more than if there is rapping involved. They just have more rapping than anything else.

I dunno.

The real reason I brought up though was because people sometimes (including myself) refer to acts like Stormzy as grime artists, when they don’t really make Grime anymore. Wiley and Aitch got in an argument the other day because Aitch claims Grime is a bit of a dead genre again as most UK rap is now drill.

Any music that has rapping can be considered hip hop but not all hip hop has rapping.

My favourite hip hop song is Shake It Off

[NoBuses]

Dave has 1 drill tune (paper cuts)

[Hugh Jass]

Wolf Alice subbing Billie

Noel subbing Macca

Lorde subbing Reg.

[Chrisp1986]

Lana subbing Reg? They seem to be mates.

[Matt42]

Dua would sub Reginald

I’m coming back round to the idea of her back headlining the Other opposite Macca.

There'd be some sparse crowds on WH, JP and The Park.

WH could pull a few with a dance headliner a la Bicep, but gotta think a huge % of people would be at one of the big two.

[kingbadger]

Lizzo before Relton or we riot

[Hugh Jass]

Now that we know (barring any major changes) the headliners, and most likely the Other headliners, the Pyramid subs are one of the few remaining sources of intrigue. Three spots and a hell of a lot of acts who could potentially be in the frame...

Noel G, Royal Blood, Dave, Wolf Alice, Lorde, LDR (you never know), Haim, Lizzo, Biffy Clyro...

[dentalplan]

I think you can throw Foals in there too. Sneaky feeling that will happen.

As for the other two... got a feeling Noel will be back, then who knows? Maybe Lana be touring again? Royal Blood must be in with a shout.

Is Royal Blood still big enough to sub? (I sure hope not...very bland band).

They are more than big enough to sub. They're potential Reading headliners next year.

Oh dear. 

[kingcrawler]

I think he’s more likely to be an Other sub but Sam Fender’s arena tour is pretty big, I wonder if he’s a contender.
