Aromaticmusic1 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Forgive me if I’m being ignorant but is Dave really big enough at this point to headline? Like I know he headlined R&L a couple of years back but has he really advanced since then? Would be very weak imo especially compared to Rihanna/ Swift and even fender who’s rapidly growing atm and headlined R&L last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah, I'd say his career has advanced since then. It certainly hasn't stagnated and will likely grow more with another album under his belt.

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Among the current crop of four "younger" British acts who could step up, I think he's probably fourth in terms of obvious live pull behind Dua Lipa, Sam Fender and The 1975. But conversely, on the whole, he's either second or third. Really depends how you want to quantify it, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Yeah. I mean, the stadium pool is only finite, I guess. On a broad spectrum, feel most of your "upper" headliners at the twin-main-stage R+L could top the Pyramid - Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and Billie Eilish all have, and Dave, The 1975 and Sam Fender all could too. This year is a little bit weirder for that metric though, so it definitely varies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always forget Harry Styles, but more because I already have him in the bracket as Rihanna or The Weeknd. Stadium acts who are undisputed draws right now.

I think if you play 2 shows at Wembley Stadium one year then come back and play another 4, you're probably at Pyramid Stage level already. Though the question is if his tour bookers think there's more value in just doing his own dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah seems like a total slam dunk in the coming years. Obviously aware of the festival, will be a nice box ticker for him, incredibly popular and is building up a setlist of bangers. One of the front runners in the next couple of years whenever he releases album #4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aromaticmusic1 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Could he possibly do it next year? I think that would be really good then if maybe like Harry, Rihanna, fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
