Fontaines are way too big now - Glasto headliners after the year break imo, one more solid album and they get it

 

I'm really hoping for Alvvays to be at GM in some capacity, Far Out headline would be great

I said this in 2021, they were "too big" then but GM got very lucky that they seem to be stand up guys in honouring the booking from the previous cancelled year - or GM got insanely lucky that there wasn't much competition that year. 

 

They will sell out GM sized venues (i.e. 25k) on their own now.

It's mildly insane to me having watched them all the way to hear you guys dismissing them as too big for Green Man. Mental stuff. They're headlining Alltogethernow in Waterford the week before GM, same capacity give or take. I'm not arguing with ye mind. Watching them Friday night it really felt like boom! They're gone! I'm slightly emotional at the hypothetical prospect of them actually headlining Glasto down the line.

They've sold out 45,000 capacity Finsbury Park already for July. There's no way they're playing a 25,000 capacity festival a month later, let alone one they've headlined post-Covid.

Fontaines won't play next year for sure. Going forwards, they could come back but only if the career starts going downwards lol. Headlining Reading/Glastonbury seem a lot more likely.

They chose a headliner this year based on her TikTok views so who knows what the criteria is for headlining nowadays?
