R-K1D Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 What’s everyone’s thoughts on Biffy Clyro? Haven’t seen them on any predictions but they’re probably due a headline slot (I know they did 2021 MSW but that was a sub) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benj Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 5 minutes ago, Chad888 said: Foals are genuinely, absolutely, unimaginably big in the US. But they have a wierd obsession with bland UScentric stadium rock. Tbf, Brits have always had an obsession with northern jack the lads with punchy anthems or slow moping around (kaiser chiefs, Arctic Monkeys, fratellis, oasis, enemy, fratellis, libertines). I went to a sushi restaurant the other day and they just had Imagine Dragons on in the background for the entire hour. Funnily, I thought to myself "wtf this is Imagine Dragons. Christ, Imagine if they were playing Reading. Thank god that's not happening anytime" I live in the US and no one has heard of Foals! To be fair they play reasonably large venues, a step up from Biffy, Wolf Alice etc, they’re not big though Theyre actually playing near me soon. This is who else is playing the same venue, hardly “BIG” names https://roadrunnerboston.com/calendar/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done all the touring commitments for what fluidly turned into two albums given one was recorded & released as a lockdown project, been round the US and Europe and did a big UK tour including Download. Could either be back for a thing next summer or already focusing on another album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I know that Melvin isn't the most reliable source put this through our rumoured six into uncertainty? Maybe at the time Green Day were booked and they were the 3?

I wish you always saw The Killers as the replacement for Green Day it's like the legend slot as their name only came about rumour that green day dropped out- however you could very much be right.

nathanh Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 bit of a weird vibe on here tonight. Doesn't quite feel like the day before the big announcement without Dan causing all sorts of chaos in here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeverDream Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 37 minutes ago, Chad888 said: Funnily enough, this was the year they were meant to have 2 stages but couldn't work out the logistics. Foals / RHCP / Biffy Clyro Disclosure / Imagine Dragons / Fallout Boy I thought the Biffy / FOB cohead came about because Radiohead dropped out? Or is that just an urban myth haha. Radiohead drop out -> bump FOB to headline -> realise that’s weak and get Biffy on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they’ll probably take a year or two off to wind down / record and be back with singles 2024 with a new album 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a lot of time at the bar this year and stayed in camp till later in the afternoon. Weren’t too many divs near us though for a change which was great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
