dentalplan Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ouch I think that's a pretty bad line up even for their demo. Weird that Jess Glynne and The 1975 are below headline while BBK and Kygo do headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Weak bookings across the lineup, can't see that selling well. Although I am surprised to see The 1975 playing Wireless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneoftherest Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 So where do The Weekend and Macklemore end up, surely they won't skip UK festivals altogether? Not that I'd mind, not a fan of either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Yeah I thought they'd bump up Boy Better Know to maybe ssub but not headline, they're hardly on the level of Drake or Rihanna, neither is KYGO Does anyone even listen to J Cole anymore?

FloorFiller Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 jesus that is a weak lineup. i was wondering who they were gonna get to headline as they'd seemingly used up all the big hitters over the previous few years but i thought they'd at least have The Weeknd and Macklemore headlining. BBK headlining is weird. that's gonna sell terribly does make a case for The Weeknd and Macklemore being at Glastonbury though - the former of which i'd be happy about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 (edited) Presumably the Saturday is where they had the troubles which led to it taking so long for them to announce anything, then. EDIT: or the Sunday. Actually yeah probably more likely the Sunday. Considering they had Kanye, Drake and Bruno Mars headline only two years ago that poster represents a hell of a decline in stature.

The Placid Casual Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'd say Calvin Harris is a decent booking if he has no other southern shows lined up. The other headliners are all very weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSmurphy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 What ever happened to lineups like this? FYI tickets for Kygo are still available at Brixton for £20, weeks after their release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI tickets for Kygo are still available at Brixton for £20, weeks after their release. i get that they tried to switch up their lineups to differentiate them from the overcrowded market, and it did fairly well for a couple of years, but clearly the list of acts who are big enough to headline that fall in to this market is pretty tiny and they've used them all up quickly and so they're left with bumping up acts who aren't close to being headliner level. the signs were there last year when they'd already started to use co-headliners. i doubt this will be lasting much longer without another drastic change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I will never forgive myself for only going to the White Stripes that year and not also going to see Daft Punk - think I always just assumed they would be a regular touring act at the time.

I doubt I'd have paid that for Kaisers though and Faithless would have made me question it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's pretty obvious that they had someone cancel on them, even if that hadn't already been rumoured. From his tour dates I'd guess that'd be Macklemore, although we'll obviously never know.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I haven't looked to see if their dates rule it out but it'd look a fair amount stronger with The 1975 as a co-headliner and Kygo as a sub rather than the other way around, should've done that.
