Back there were very few acts doing more than a single stadium show in a city (and much cheaper!) - nothing like how it is now. Plus last chance hype for Elton with his countless o2 dates etc.
Not sure where else he played that year - just checked and it was Itunes fest and a Leeds arena date (random!).
Think a huge part is that last chance hype
would like: Lambrini Girls, Sprints, Pale Waves, Beartooth, Hot Wax, the wonder years/roaring twenties, Pigz x 7
more less likely - wunderhorse, yard act, sports team
i've heard elsewhere Rise against are going to be axiom headliner, thoughts?
