I think Biffy could do Gunnersbury. I personally wouldn't class Biffy in the same vein as either of them two from my view. Early Biffy maybe more so but Biffy now you'd be more likely to find V Festival book lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunnersbury would be a very small booking for them - would rule them out of ever doing major festival headline slots again imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernangel Posted yesterday at 11:18 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:18 AM 2 minutes ago, gfa said: Gunnersbury would be a very small booking for them - would rule them out of ever doing major festival headline slots again imo That is true to be honest. Probably a little small but then out of all these bands Biffy Clyro have never been the one to be booked for any size of their own outdoor English gig. I don't think they are that far from dropping down anyway to be honest. Even Victorious that might be 60k, don't book bands that headline major festivals. IOW for example occasionally book one huge act that could headline anywhere but the other headliners aren't main stage festival headliners. No IOW headliner is class as that in 2019 and in 2014 when they did it, it was a bit of a co-headliner thing and the other two headliners were certainly a bigger level. Download still probably will as they've allowed themselves to undersell themselves this year. Scotland obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 11:27 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:27 AM I think Biffy might skip some shows unless they can commit to it. And the sad fact is that Finsbury feels like a stretch at only 40,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago APE still seem like the most likely place if they do a London show to me. They seem do be doing Truck anyway which is pretty nearby, could skip London or do their own thing to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf that kinda also proves my point about APE given Foals have also headlined Truck and APE and I think there's a fair bit of crossover in Foals & Biffy fans. Royal Blood did Truck as well tbf.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago Biffy Clyro at Truck pretty much cements their place as an act out of the conversation at leading festivals. Yet, they probably will remain in the conversation for TRNSMT thanks to home advantage and Download thanks to an aging pool of options, even if both of their performances drew lacklustre crowds, by all accounts.

Yeah if Biffy Clyro are at truck they've accepted where they stand. Truck being the smallest capacity one as well. They are likely going to be the big one they get like Royal Blood but it will look really weak for anyone except for Scotland to give them headline after that regardless of how big another band is they get.

NorthernSoul52 Posted 54 minutes ago Report Share Posted 54 minutes ago It may well be the case. Biffy Clyro one of the great "would've, should've, could've" bands for me, though to be fair, they pretty much did headline everything but Glastonbury back in the day.
