i think an emimem/foos would take that sort of slot. i also think chase & status does have that feel as well, despite the recent resurgance

Not sure C&S appeal to that “core” R&L demographic at all

 

A. I don’t think they appealed to that demographic “back in the day” when they last played back in 2013, when Green Day, SOAD and Biffy were there to appeal on a week end basis.

 

B. I don’t know anyone personally who is strictly a “rock” man who would be slightly interested in seeing them

I must be living under a rock I didn’t know C&S were relevant again.

Neither did I until a year when they headlined an all-day event at Milton Keynes Bowl and Boardmasters.

 

A contrast too given that before lockdown cancelled everything, they were struggling to sell out the Marshall Arena in MK (a 5,000-capacity indoor space next to the MK Dons stadium, if it doesn't ring any bells as a name).

Won't lie, the revival of Chase and Status is mad.

 

Arena run sales must be looking good.

I think except for Tyler, this may not be far off if Foos still play. It's a pretty decent stab and I think Hozier having a smaller co-headline set length than what has been given out makes sense under them. My own personal guess is that Chappell and C&S will get headline jumps for Glastonbury in 2027. If Fred does headline next year and does well then I don't see them following that up with anyone bigger than C&S and that might keep them away from the festival this year.

I really can't see C&S in the main headliner slot.

R+L have had Disclosure close before. I could see the case for Chase & Status.

The R part of it hasn’t…

 

I think in the modern age of the reduced lineup there is a lot more cache placed on the headliners. Foals and Disclosure were very much co-headliners back in 2016, 2 acts to make a whole. It’s no surprise both only MSW’d in the main stage era.

With 50% less acts to help sell the day you need a strong tent pole and it’s hard to say Chase and Status simply are going to be able to carry 170,000 tickets across both the sites, esp as they’re playing a pretty substantial tour in April/ May.

I'd say the tour is a touch too late.
