I'm guessing they meant because the website says Thurs 21st - Sun 24th Aug, would it also say that on the poster?

Check past posters, they always have the 3 days the festival is on in the 'header'

We've always had 3 headliners, it's just marketed as 6 but Gerry Cinneman and Catfish did not head, they Subbed Blink and LG.

 

They aren't going to drop 3 or 4 selling points from the poster when the entire generation of kids going have only known 6 'headliners'.

 

It's not so much a headliner, as having a band logo at the top of the poster to shift a few more tickets.

I've been going for 18 years so I understand that wholeheartedly. With their promotion I meant they were '6 HEADLINERS! 2 STAGES!' Etc. So those that have only being going the past couple of years may find it worse, for those of us that are veterans and see it as it is anyway (as the main headliners last year were of course Blink 182, Liam Gallagher and Fred Again..) then we're used to it.

Nah it’s good man! I’m a bit of a font nerd so enjoyed zooming in on the pixels and running them through a font identifier 🤣 I think the new font on the R&L website is Trade Gothic Next, if anyone so cares…

Was just about to ask this

So assume Hozier and Central Cee (?) are now considered subs, who do we think our third sub is?

They always were considered subs to the majority, I think it's only those 20 year old children that have only ever known the shoddy marketing technique of 6 logo bands that still get drawn in. But they are now the majority sales so it's a Pandoras box they can't wheel back or it looks awful.

A question given the reaction to the top 3 will be nothing but complaints "Chappel hasn't got the standing to HL, Eminem is tired and old and needs to go away, Travis Scott is just a hype man for a dj playing his auto tune tracks who is 5 years past his peak".

 

When was the last time there was a lineup that was acknowledged as a class lineup - other than last year's 3?

 

The Chappel Roan complaints got me gave me a throwback to 2009 everyone saying Arctics were to new and had no skin in the game to headline, and then you look back and forget how small they were back then, and immediately see 2009 as a big year.

Yes that’s not my question though.

Can't see him subbing when he's headlined twice.

I think they would approach it as a co-headline set with Eminem or Travis but we all know it is really a sub. Like what happened this year with six "headliners"

Do it with Travis. Eminem by himself.
