Because of the coheadline there you effectively have Tame Impala as a 3rd down act which imo is too low. I would get rid of them, bump wolf alice up and then stick someone like the wombats or J Hus in (or someone else who could be 4th down)

Tame Impala have said they aren't about until 2019 (I think), I don't think C&S work third down main also, probably swap with The Kooks because I can't see them clashing with Florence, though hopefully with VW to alleviate the clashes for me. Also would the festival try to distance itself from Broco? 

[dentalplan]

Yeah for something different, you managed to get  similar crop as everyone else.  But that's probably to be expected when everyone approves certain acts to play and rejects the others.

Third down seems too high for Don Broco really. That's the only opinion I can offer.

They have denied the rumours and i get the feeling thats all getting sorted and they weren't true but I may be wrong.

[Hart Attack]

Remember that one time when we had Deftones -> System Of A Down -> Green Day and Fall Out Boy -> Nine Inch Nails -> Biffy Clyro as two of our main stage tops 3s? Something like that again would be nice please.

yeah, thats why I said it's turning out to be very similar...

about broco i was just thinking as they sold out ally pally and then they have the big tour coming up might be time to make a push to third but that was ambitious

I don't think so imo as both the NBT and Broco allegations were denied (compared to Brand New who tried to defend it). Especially as there haven't been any more accounts since then.

If I were FR I would still have both ready to play but hold off announcing them till like February or so just to see if it blows over or if they have to ditch them

Didn't Architects sell out Ally Pally too? And they played like 5th down this year?

yeah was just being ambitious as they seem to be on the rise and are quite big in the festivals demographic in the way that they're just rock and roll not deep in a sub-genre and also after their surprise(ish) set this year quite a lot of people know them at reading as people were talking about them before the festival and that

 

but overall yeah, probably still too high

TBH, I think they're a good candidate for an act the fest would wanna push in that 4th down slot that still gets a logo (due to the coheadline where you have wolf alice atm). Maybe just move them over and bump in a new 3rd down where they are atm?

thats a good idea will do that cheers

 

[Steve1000]

Architects were booked before Ally Pally, and are much less suited than Broco. Hopefully Architects get a much higher slot, like 3rd down or something in 2019 on the same day as someone like BMTH or MCR headlining.

no way Biffy clyro are headlining next year. The xx wouldn't be third down either. doubt travis or kid cudi will play.

Maybe like Pale waves, Night cafe, Spring king etc bands of that nature. 

For 1xtra could easily see someone like Logic there but i'd be surprised if none of the headliners of that stage were grime, maybe Wretch 32 or Lethal Bizzle, someone like that.

13 years for Pixies to return to R&L and they play opposite Kendrick Lamar? 

[leej7]

just seems like the most logical spot for them to play (if those are the headliners ofc). Would be a bit of a shitter.

At the moment we're relying on info from this interview which states Queens will headlining their own shows next summer, essentially ruling them out of headlining R&L. This interview was back in July - plans can change of course. I did see the suggestion somewhere that their summer shows could simply be a show at Glasgow Summer Session and they will play R&L, it depends how coy you think Denis Desmond was being with his language I guess. I don't see it happening really but I imagine their announcement would get a positive response from most on ere. I can't wait to see them tomorrow night.
