Not had tons to do today, so thought I may as well do another 2023 mock-up/wish list, especially taking into account the recent chats about Lizzo (who for the record, I reckon would make a really fun MSW set)... I personally feel like this would be a great line-up and would fit the R&L audience quite well, would love to hear thoughts and opinions!

Decent that. I think O Rod is a bit too low and Sleep Token are bigger than everyone on their stage except Turnstile.

solid - as said before me olivia rodrigo is too low, arguably swap with Jamie T

[stanh]

Cheers guys, but fair enough about O Rod for sure! Hopefully she is on the festival circuit properly next year, and takes up some bigger shows - tbh, I am sure Coachella especially will have her in the top 3 on the top line, so fingers crossed for R&L!

Dua Lipa | Travis Scott | Red Hot Chili Peppers | Machine Gun Kelly | Sam Fender | Lizzo

 

That headline 6tuplet would be derided by everyone but the social media kids will be in love. It's the exact sort of thing R&L will put together.

[gfa]

RHCP and Travis Scott in the same year is insanely expensive, Dua can't be cheap either. Unless travis has dropped his price i don't think this is achievable

[wghennessy]

Yungbluds an absolute star and Memories is a banger. Headline material.

Aren't you the one who's friends with Yungbluds friends, and know him as an acquaintance?

 

He isnt a star when living in the age that YouTube watches, Spotify iTunes and Sound cloud streams, as well as purchases count towards the chart position - he hasn't had a song break past 37. That's awful for somebody whose whole demographic is the kids that are constantly streaming music on their phones.

Actually Spotify listens don’t count towards chart positions unless it’s a paid premium account which I learnt from Kunt & The Gang when he was trying to get Boris Johnson Is Fucking A c**t to Xmas number 1.

Also fuck chart positions.

No chance Rodrigo plays 6th, 3rd at the very worst, if not MSW headliner I imagine. Esp as there may be new music then

 

Edit- gah curse of you post being the second last post on the page by my first ‘unread’. I see the Rodrigo feedback has been drummed in hard!

Vengaboys would be unreal at R&L and you know it 👀

Looking at the venues they've sold out they have. 2016 playing Wembley (12,500 cap) to this year with 4 sold out shows in the Olympia (10,000 cap) plus a Brixton academy show just in London. I saw them at their 3rd night in the Olympia and I really think you'd need an incredibly strong alternative to justify putting them on MSW

Olympia is 7k.

When Slaves play they have the Vengaboys as their intro song and I’m always surprised how many people know the words and are singing along.

It’s excellent, been in the pit twice when they’ve come out to We Like to Party, entire room was bouncing at Leeds Academy for it, proper set the tone for the night (more movement that for most of their actual songs) 🤣

I think its a bop personally lol. Funeral is a tune though i agree there.

[VCK]

I'm sure Yungblud is a nice guy but good lord, if he isn't immensely irritating.

Maybe not for 2023 but I wonder if they’d ever try getting Coldplay in.

I’m just watching snippets from their live shows from their current US tour. Say what you want about their music, they certainly put on a show. 

Weirdly I could see Chris Martin wanting to do it as a bucket list kind of thing.

No chance of happening imo. Got a big pool of headliners before they’d even consider Coldplay let alone book them.

If they haven’t gone for them at any point before now, I doubt they ever will.

Not an out there shout at all I assume but I’d be very surprised if Jack Harlow didn’t headline in the next couple years. He’s had a very post malone rise

His album has been a bit divisive. But I agree he will likely be a future headliner.
