2023 Festival

Imagine Dragons shouldn’t even be in the conversation. Does anyone still listen to them, let alone school leavers?

It's so weird, isn't it. I have absolutely no idea who their target demographic is. They're like an AI generated rock band.

Somehow 54 million people a month do on Spotify. I’m yet to meet one of those 54 million though! I just predicted them based off the fact they’re around late August and haven’t played since 2016.. slightly worrying.

Seen them mentioned a few times now, genuinely baffles me they played Stadium MK this year. The US Coldplay.

They played Werchter this year, we watched Bicep (phenomenal) on third and couldn't get into Jamie XX after on second so just left. DROVES of people doing the same but still a sizeable crowd left for ID.

Pulled a big crowd at Mad Cool too given they were on before The Killers on the other main stage.

Any chance for Muse? I havent really seen anyone discuss them here so I assume they aren't gonna be there?

Doing 4 stadium/park sized shows here, no chance.

Never thought I’d come back and refresh this page, where’s Danny boy I need the bedlam

[Properbigfan]

Travis Scott could be an option. Doing rolling loud Portugal so could be about/ seems to be forgiven for the astroworld incident.

Very close. 5/6

QOTSA or Killers won't be there ; I go for QOTSA, since they're already in Europe in June.. can't imagine a US band staying 3 months in Europe during Summer.

Will you say yes or no to who is wrong?

[Adam_B]

Billie/QOTSA

Fender/ Capaldi 

Imagine Dragons/ Foals 

Ouch. 

 

 

[nathanh]

Billie, Sam, Lewis, The Killers, Foals and someone else is my bet

[nathanh]

Is it not time for @Dan Wilcoxyet?

[nathanh]

Sorry for a triple post but to throw a name up in the air what about SZA, new album out this week

I’m going to go. Seems a bit too indie though. 

MSE: Billie Eilish - The Killers - My Chemical Romance

MSW: Foals - Imagine Dragons - Sam Fender

I'd take out Imagine Dragons and wack in Lewis Capaldi. In all fairness though, that top line would make it very tempting. They could replace MCR with Blink and it's probably even more tempting.

Nobody posted this here I don't think, big batch announced today. Not even got all the headliners yet. Consider Belgium in 2023! 

There is a reason no one's posted it, because it's mainly shite. It's a lineup on the whole you expected to see 10 years ago.

I'm going for QOTSA not being there and either MCR/Blink being there.

could be a good shout if she’s about. Great PR for FR to have another female headliner

She could well be about- Ive also heard from an insider mate that she has an arena tour announcement in the coming weeks (no word on USA or europe dates being announced).

Just think shes very popular in a similar way to MTS last week and she would fulfil another female headliner for FR.

Also from all reviews, she seemed to have gone down well at wireless last summer.

Certainly it would be a surprise given Milton Keynes and Huddersfield aren't exactly a million miles away from Reading and Leeds as tour dates.

[beetchez]

IF MCR is one of the headliners, how quick would the day tickets go?

I'm guessing not as fast as Arctic Monkeys but considering 3 Milton Keynes shows were sold out in like 20 minutes it'll sell out eventually at least, right?
