Not sure i'd compare them

 

Cure are well up for smaller gigs, weird venues etc. Also play non festival shows regular - strokes hardly ever do (roundhouse in 2020 the only remotely recent one here)

 

Strokes visit the UK for a festival headline slot payday (or two) every few years while they aren't scrapping with eachother.

 

Your right on the first bit though - no way are they main headliner now.

Yeah like The Strokes did Lytham didn't they? It's not a massive gig in capacity or anything but they went where money was.

Yeah, straight on the patch. We haven't seen prices on it yet though.

Apparently starting from £60 according to a Google. So presumably something in the £65-75 range with fees.

No less than say Biffy

 

Fair one. Biffy did draw a healthy looking crowd in 2021 before Liam Gallagher tbf.

I know they did All Points East twice. Their 2019 set was decent, if hindered by the sound system being shite.

Starting? Hope they're not sodding around with Golden Circle.

So according to a reliable leaker Foo Fighters are planning a South American tour in the second half of 2025, I wouldn't rule them out completely now.

I dont mind Charli but the thought of watching a headliner auto tune their way through a set doesnt appeal tbh.

Was it? thought it was quite quiet - lots waiting from gerry into LG

Would sound better than Liam Gallagher!!

I think that's just regular and VIP. Haven't seen an indication they'll be introducing one of those cash grabs.

 

In saying that, I have yet to see a price. They don't have an active Reddit with someone whose managed to see it, plus Ticketmaster and SeeTickets are yet to lift the curtain on it. At least until a pre-sale tomorrow.

Maybe i'll eat my words but these Hozier predictions are getting way out of hand, who the f**k is asking for him. Kind of act that should be playing British Summertime for the picnic blanket gang not R&L!

Hard agree on Hozier. He was never booked high up back in the day and he won’t be now. 

I'd tend to agree but it's a done deal from what I've heard... 

 

Id imagine 'second' headliner but yeah...

Aye I saw that rumour. So perhaps the idea of a 30 year tour for their debut album is back on after all.

Looks realistic, that. Although I do think they’ll put someone a bit more rocky third down on an LP day if there is one. 
 

 

[Andre91]

Hozier and Central Cee as two of the headliners… this is looking as rough as 2023!

Surely Hozier isn’t headlining R&L?

[tomjfx]

I think Charli XCX will 100 percent be there too, she's already announced a festival for next year in Australia, and unless she's doing Glasto she'll be at Reading and Leeds for sure

[NorthernSoul52]

Just assumed she would be there because if she's now headliner-level, R+L will punt on her. Only other option is topping Parklife, which arguably places her the rung below - though obviously The 1975 have form for topping R+L and Parklife on the same run.

Bump up Chappell and bin off Hozier i reckon, put someone rocky in 3rd

[JayA5]

tbf I can see Hozier going down decently well with the usual R&L crowd, saw him on tour last year and most people were probably 16-25 ish.

 

Also seems to have quite a few loyal fans, think if he's not doing too much in the UK it would shift some day tickets too.

Heard it second hand so will have no way of knowing how accurate the info is until line-up release - but I have no reason to doubt.
