2025 R&L Festival

[Andre91]

Tyler, the Creator has added extra dates to his tour and is now playing: 

 

The O2 x3 

Co-Op Live x2 

Birmingham x1 

Glasgow x1 

 

In total, that’s 130,000+ tickets. I reckon he’s a good bet to headline 2026. He’d unquestionably be one of the big three headliners.

It's a far cry from Blink, Fred and Liam

I don't think it is far away as you think with the main headliners or what they have tried to book as a balance at the top since 2017.

 

I feel like Foo's fall into the same category as the likes of AM, The Killers, The 1975, Sam Fender, Kings of Leon or Liam Gallagher as rock/indie headliners for the dark fruits crowd.

 

Bring Me fall into a hard rock/pop-punk headliner with the likes of Muse, Blink, Fall Out Boy, Biffy, Green Day, Rage Against the Machine, Queens of the Stone Age or Metallica.

 

Then the third headliner goes to a massive popular artist that is going to appeal to younger people along with a big old chunk of the undercard as that is where the majority of their weekend ticket sales are going. I think a lot of the acts in the first grouping will also appeal to the target audience, while they are banking on the middle group bringing in day ticket sales who will buy food, merch and beer.

I think we’re looking at 6 from Stormzy, Bring Me The Horizon, Foo Fighters, Charli XCX, Chase & Status, Chappell Roan & Kasabian. Obviously outside bets of Hozier & Central Cee given the info but honestly can’t see either of those if all of the above are about next year.

I'll be honest, I stopped bothering you referenced the now boring quote of dark fruits crowd like they all do something wrong other than just enjoy a drink and watch a band. We're not calling out the people chucking beers up in the air because it tastes like piss though are we? Just get a better debate and argument. 

 

Metallica and Rage maybe are the only one's that have any relevance to what BMTH do. I would never associate them with any of the others as they touch knowehere near death core, metal core ore alternative metal.

Nobody is chucking an £8 in the air tbf 😂
