Not sure where the budgets gone though; usually Governors Ball is stronger no? I’d take Tyler, Jpegmafia, car seat headrest, lemon twigs, royel otis, Joey valence & brae. Not checked their schedules but realistically could see Peggy and Lemon Twigs being booked maybe? Expand Live Nation spends just enough because some of these acts are at Bonnaroo and will also play Lolla and Austin City Limits. The O Rod Day will sell out easily. They literally cater to teenagers and thats it because NY is such a difficult festival market and this one has somehow survived all the b.s.

No, it’s the kids that are wrong! 🤣 Expand I'm pretty young and its come out of nowhere for me (i did delete tiktok though in like april or may last year). I was surprised by R&L and thought it was a mad booking and they f**ked off but both sides of the pond he is getting these bookings.

WhoOdyssey Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 (edited) Hozier's built up a huge fanbase in the last few years, he has 48 million monthly listeners on Spotify currently. They're not just streaming the big hits either, he has 17 songs with at least 200 million streams. Edited January 15 by WhoOdyssey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wro_lap Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Yeah, Hozier's huge now. Could easily see him headlining Other/subbing Pyramid in the next few festivals. Pretty wild how his first Glastonbury appearance was early in the Acoustic tent in 2014 - quite a rare trajectory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not the best method but his album before this big one didn't do fantastic, nothing really charted since take me to church etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hozier_discography 3rd down woodsies at glasto in 2023 (underbilled maybe, but was it rammed? i don't remember hearing much). Its a fair come up in the last year I would say personally He wasn't small but nowhere near this size outside of Ireland in 2022. @wro_lap is right about rare trajectory.

Expand That was 2019 though, it was really during lockdown that the fanbase seemed to grow - lot of his old songs became TikTok hits. Obviously he's not a stadium act, but he's got a huge young audience now. In the last two days even, he's had two songs blow up on the UK Spotify chart - with his cover of Arctic Monkeys' Do I Wanna Know charting at #16 today.

ghostdancer1 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Hozier's manager is Caroline Downey, director of MCD Productions. MCD owns 49.9% of Festival Republic, (50.1% is owned by Live Nation UK). MCD's parent company is Live Nation International. R&L is run by Festival Republic. Governors Ball is run by Live Nation.
