Exhibit A!   Chase & Status tour dates - Id like to think they would only be suitable for the Other Headline - But I would have said the same about LCS Soundsystem. 

 

Chase & Status are still around? I learn things every day.

How have you not been constantly hearing BADADAN BADADAN BADADAN

Chase and Status somehow bigger than they've ever been right now, which is a bit weird.

Despite it being an unintended clash the IDLES Fontaines Clash probably saved the festival from mega overcrowding for either act, if IDLES were not on the Park would have been to packed  

IDLES wouldn't have been mega overcrowded on Other if fontaines weren't playing 😂

I disagree. Whilst it's unusual for acts to get the call in consecutive years, some do.

 

I'm bias, as I'm a big fan, but I think Romance has propelled them to the next level - hence Finsbury Park. Sometimes it's good to just cash in when an act is so hot.

Yeah they were great this year and really glad to have been there, and to some extent you could argue they grew between being booked and performing on the Park this year to have warranted the Other stage.  Again, I am biased though. Btw, that Fri night was heaven for me LCD on Pyramid followed by Fontaines at the Park. 

 

If I were lucky enough to get tickets again for next yr would gladly see Fontaines again, but does feel a bit close to Finsbury Pk for them?

Confused with the reference to other stage - isn't the info pyramid sub

 

I'm not sure they grew since Park headline much - they were just very underbilled for that to begin with. Finsbury Park went on sale only a few weeks after that performance.

 

Being close to finsbury park doesn't matter - that shows been onsale ages etc

There live show is exceptional - I went earlier in the year and i may well go to there next tour -  They bring out 5-10 special guests every show and crowd front to back are absolutely wild throughout. Timed with the popularity of drum and base today its no surprise -  its a proper show.   They will smash this arena tour.   its the perfect storm of being something the 25 and unders are into and the nostalgia for older listeners of an act that listened to them in the mid noughties.  

 

Plus they have just had their biggest hit when it felt that they would not beat the success from earlier albums
