Hozier is the biggest damp squib booking they’ve made since Lewis Capaldi was supposed to headline. Who cares? He has one song that came out a decade ago.

To be fair to Hozier, he did sell out Finsbury park this year. So clearly some tickets. Despite been as tragic a booking as it is. 

Obviously streams don't translate exactly to gig ticket sales, etc etc. But on Spotify he is the 63rd most streamed in the world at the moment. For context, Blink-182 are 399th.

The people calling in with some of these names like MCR and Charli are gonna be upset

Was about to say this haha. Might phone in myself and predict all the names on that press release. They’d have to cut me off!

Why is Hozier massive again? He's still only a one hit wonder isn't he?

Maybe go check the figures for "too sweet" lol

Come on mate Hozier isn't amazing but he is better than Capaldi. You're being a bit harsh there

Not for the everyday fan he isnt. I dont like either tbh but id put good money on Capaldi blowing him out of the water with numbers attending etc

I didn’t make note of the number haha. If he says it again I’ll give it a try

I love hozier but I wonder if he’ll bring out Noah kahan to make it more justifiable

100% agreed on this. Massive difference shifting tickets for gigs in major cities than a wet and windy field in Yorkshire for the weekend with no showers and Portaloos! 

 

I have loads of friends who are into live music and would not dream of going to a music festival.

 

As for number of streams, we have seen that put to bed many many times with small crowds watching internet sensations. 

 

This line up will sell badly, no doubt about that. 

You are SERIOUSLY underestimating the pull of Travis Scott and also Chappell Rown. Especially as Travis is a EU exclusive. He could sell the festival out of his own. People will travel all around from Europe to see him. This will sell absolutely fine

Surprised non of the acts have posted the poster yet. Had a quick check on the one listed on the music week article but nothing 

[craigcharles420]

I reckon it will sell well between Travis and Chappell. I would go for those. I just think Hozier is a weak choice and BMTH isn't at all my cup of tea. That would have been offset by the other acts being decent but they're mostly not and I think that's where the wheels come off properly for me.

There’s something for everyone in the headliners and some big names but the undercard is your usual R&L fodder, they’ll have all played sometime over the past 3-4 years.

Does feel like they're setting themselves up for a fall by doing this. 

 

In the words of Jim Bowen, God rest his soul.

Only the Cribs headlining the Lock Up Stage can save this line up.....

[Mcbatesman]

No matter how big someone currently is , I can't get behind headlining a major festival with just one album

The undercard really doesn't hold any ground for me. We had lots of very solid acts on the undercard this year

[ThatMuseKid]

There we are

This exactly. Not even excited about the undercard. BMTH and that’s about it for me literally. I’ll see Chappell, but that’s it. Disappointed

Chappell may have another album out by the time R&L happens

Yep lol

Just now, Mcbatesman said:

Yep lol

But then again how many "hits" have bmth had, all depends on how to look at it

True but I'm still not a fan of 2 album headline slots either 😂

[festiall]

Their not going to announce each headliner one by one are they? We already know just drop the poster!
