Excellent, I couldn't find this info anywhere this morning although I did think it was around 20k.
So it's risen to slightly above 15% of total tickets not including locals.
Same! Missed Charli waiting in line to get a beer. Remember getting drinks late in the night (before Hannah Diamond) with a bar guy telling me how he was sorry for the mess earlier. That HD set was amazing
Who actually are "legacy" acts now, given so many seem to have semi-retired, or aged our of the R&L demographic.
Is it time we moved on to new artists as the "legacy" headliners?
The pool to me is those 90's-00's names, but the teenagers that enjoyed those festivals are long past attending. A 20 year old in 2005 is watching their 20 year old head off to the festival this year, and would rather spend his summer lounging in Cape Verde, than a 3 day stint in a muddy field surrounded by screaming teens and burning tents.
Blink-182, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chilis, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Muse, Eminem, Linkin Park, the Killers, Green Day
The nostalgia-wave is targeting people that make up a minute percentage of R&L demographic.
I'd suggest the new gen of legacy should be the depressing lineup of acts like Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Biffy Clyro, Queens of the Stone age, Kings of Leon etc.
Wanna bet? No headliner of Rock am Ring EVER played stadiums in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hannover and Berlin during the same summer.
LP is 100% not playing.
