Would only be on the main stage and then its just a bit of a shit afternoon guest slot for a MSE headliner They'd headline if they played. As previous poster mentioned, they have sold out their UK arena tour. Agree that secret set is unlikely, given the new (relatively) layout.

Andre91 Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 Can’t see Blink doing 2023. Got to believe they are a lock for 2024 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends where you'd rank his size (last time he played was level 4, and I'd say he's level 3 now)... 1 - Dave, Arctic Monkeys, 1975, Rage Against the Machine, Stormzy, Post Malone, Liam Gallagher 2 - Megan the Stallion, Halsey, Bring me the Horizon, Disclosure, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Biffy Clyro 3 - Wolf Alice, Polo G, Charli XCX, Run the Jewels, Lewis Capaldi, Two Door Cinema, Gerry Cinnemon 4 - Bastille, Enter Shikari, Glass Animals, Wombats, Aitch, Blossoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom will be sick of relentless touring again by then I reckon. Honestly wouldn't be shocked if he's walked out again after the already announced 2024 tour dates.

R Shah Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm kinda starting to believe the Sam Fender MSE rumour. The guy is absolutely enormous. I think he could draw a bigger crowd than the likes of Paramore & Blink with the current demographic, who many have said would do MSE or nothing if they do play. LG 2021, AM 2022, Sam Fender 2023 as the big indie rock headliner I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasabian 2017 Don't think there's anything stopping someone doing both other than the big gap in fates between them which makes it much easier for british acts to do both. We get headliners doing Glasgow summer sessions usually instead which would have the same impact on sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're likely right, but the festival wasn't really their crowd any more in 2011 either, and their set went down a storm. The same could be said Rage, who like Pulp have a long history with the festival. Admittedly Rage would have drawn the smallest crowd out of this year's six, but even the Gen Z dark fruits/Fiat 500 lot know Common People and probably Disco 2000. It won't happen, I know, but I cling to hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Pulp are at enough festivals this year - would be very underwhelming for them to be announced a few weeks late for R&L. Hardly would shift day tickets like that. Maybe final shows of the reunion in 2024 would be a potentially good sell but even then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitch will be subbing, and so will Becky Hill. Blondie aren't a special guest. Loyle Carner would be 3rd down/special guest. Headie One isn't really relevant, MGK would not be subbing. QOTSA aren't coming back for a while and they wouldn't headline MSE when they were last booked for MSW, Idles and Architects are both sub level. Chemical Brothers aren't headlining, they would do a Pendulum appearance at most. Wu Tang Clan?! They may as well get NWA while they're at it. BBCC are not going to appear for a while, they stayed on to long at Leeds and invited family on stage. 2 family members were to drunk and got in to a fight which police were called on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
