And alot of people suggesting Kasabian which most of there fan base are in there 30's or 40's. I've no idea how old a standard NDubz crowd are but I was about 16 when they came on the scene. 

Nah, Kasabian are massive with the young’uns, too. Dark Fruits cred goes a long way. 

[Andre91]

The Killers x Doja Cat 

Cardi B x Machine Gun Kelly 

My Chemical Romance x Paramore 

 

I’d be really, really happy with that sestet. I really, really want Foals there, though, so maybe replace MGK with them.

Where they ever slightly big or credible? I don’t remember them being anything other than a bit of a gimmick band mor famous for being idiots than their music

I struggle to think of anyone less credible than N-Dubz. Genuinely the worst of the worst. Music for people who love Michael Kors and think buying a bottle of Ciroc makes them superior.

You aren't getting 3 pop punk headliners. if its MGK or Paramore being replaced with foals - its probably paramore

I'm not even sure if Kasabian will do R/L. I could see them headlining Medium sized festivals like YNot and Boardmasters

I hate there music too. In fact I couldn't name a single song and was surprised when they announced an arena tour. Didn't think they were that big and was just a phase for two years but the tour sold out instantly and they had to add extra shows through phenomenal demand. Unfortunately if demand is there they'll be considered for festivals.

You don't want to know how popular that N-Dubz reunion is. Obscene.

Which festival would want them? They don't suit anyones target audience - honestly would fit best at like Glastonbury. Boardmasters maybe?

It's absolutely crazy. I don't know a single fan. I know a couple of people liked such and such a song by them but that's as far as it goes yet they've sold a shit load of tickets. They're more likely do Wireless but as shit as it sounds I wouldn't rule them out for as the demand is clearly there.

They'll be playing at Butlins in a couple of years at these events they do.

Me neither, and that's probably a very good thing for us. 

I get that a lot will go for the laugh of it, bit of a meme and a one-off, but if even a FIFTH of those people are up for seeing them again in the future that's probably still 4 sold out arenas on a repeat tour. That's fucking wild.

They’re not headlining anything with a young crowd like those 2 festivals (or any credible festival ever)

Boardmasters has turned into a festival for the kids - camping scenes worse than reading/Leeds Sunday night - plus they get bigger headliners nowdays. Can see them as a random appearance at glasto but doubt it rly for any of the other big festivals

Abit expensive for a laugh and a meme People go watch Basshunter for a tenner in a run down club.

I dunno about Boardmasters. I went in 2011 with The Klaxons and Fat Boy Slim headlining but I associate YNot with Lad Rock. Kasabian fits the bill.

Are you talking Kasabian or NDubz here? I'm pretty sure Kasabian have alot of credibility and can headline almost any festival and they can attract a young and older audience.

I can't really see them doing festivals, however, myself and pretty much all of my mates and loads of people I know are going to see them on their tour

They headlined Tramlines this year and were fantastic.

They headlined truck this year

Come on, let’s end the N-Dubz discussion now.

I'd piss myself if they're announced as Headliners for next year. This forum would just implode. N-Dubz has more of a chance than Nicki Minaj who I've seen suggested on here. 

[stevieg1993]

I'm surprised R/L have never booked a dance act. I know there's Creamfields for that but I'm surprised they never booked someone like Calvin Harris during the height of EDM. 

On that note Swedish House Mafia are on tour? Would they be down with the kids?

I feel like they might’ve already outgrown those festivals as this year they’ve shown this year they’re still up to headlining and did well supporting Liam at Knebworth. There’s definitely still a crowd young and old for them so I think they’d fit well on MSW and I think Reading would like the fact they’ve got Kasabian headlining the smaller main stage at Reading.

Kasabian are playing Doncaster in October at the Dome (around 2000 capacity) but if it wasn’t for it being in the middle of the football season, they could definitely have played the 15,000 capacity football stadium, I’m certain.
