Dunno. Post Malone did it in 2019. Is Fred loads bigger than Postie was then?

Don't think it would be necessary, esp as it sounds like an exclusive 

 

Post Malone back then was probably the biggest a new act could have ever been to be honest.

For a 23 year old kid, who'd released his first mixtape just 3 years earlier, he brought out Beerbongs and Benlteys which went straight to the top of the charts and 2x platinum in the UK.

 

He'd had 11 top 10 singles, including Rockstar which spent 8 weeks at number 1 and had 25 million streams in its first week alone. In the US alone it took a Beyonce and Ed Sheeran duo to knock him off the top, and he made it diamond with over 100m sales.

 

Fred Again.. nor any newcomer is that level.

Chances of BMTH? Or more likely doing Nex_Gen at APE?

[losing43]

Could it be Fred Again / Skrillex co headline? I know Skrillex isn’t as big, but I’m sure it’ll work well

Current tickets off sale at 12, imagine it's alongside that - you don't want long periods of NOT selling tickets to people

Yeah they only did it as an MSW head in '22. Think they'll be a while before a return.

I've not seen any rumours for ape and I love bmth. Im guessing they might do gunnersbury but no info

A guess mate, they've been annouced at festival in Europe but nothing in the UK yet, maybe something about their tour

Don't courteeners already got a northern exclusive show. 

[On The Blend]

Might as well chuck a pre-annoucement prediction into the ring:

Fred/ KOL

Liam/ Prodigy

Blink/ Central Cee

 

[gfa]

If KoL are in could see them moving down to MSW tbh

Might sound absurd but are they really bigger than say Imagine Dragons now? Their only show last year was Victorious...

 

The Prodigy is a mad wildcard booking

Yeah Lytham

[Andrinald]

So they do - I'll tweak... Ha

[NorthernSoul52]

Wait, hang on. The Prodigy? I thought that was a myth!

Prodigy in the tent as the ultimate draw for the early 30s veteran who thought they'd outgrown R&L

[Crews1]

The announcement is tonight at 6 on R1; announced last night in the last few minutes of Clara Amfo’s show
