Despite what the sold out arenas appear to suggest, Imagine Dragons don’t actually have any fans.

as much as I love them, they'd go down terribly at R&L nowadays. just not their sorta gig. would rather they played somewhere else where more of their fanbase would go.

I would entirely agree, just a random post of no real merit.

I used to think they could play R&L again if they did some sort of a Bends/OK Computer heavy set (which would obvs never happen anyway), but even if they did that I still don't think they'd fare well at the festival.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

ok I changed my mind, Radiohead would work if they did a set very similar to this

1. Lucky
2. The National Anthem
3. There, There
4. Airbag
5. Ful Stop
6. My Iron Lung
7. No Surprises
8. Weird Fishes/Arpeggi
9. Lotus Flower
10. I Might Be Wrong
11. Reckoner
12. The Bends
13. Exit Music (For a Film)
14. Everything In Its Right Place
15. Idioteque
16. Bodysnatchers
17. Street Spirit (Fade Out)
     
18. Daydreaming
19. 2+2=5
20. Fake Plastic Trees
21. Paranoid Android
22. Just
     
23. Creep
24. Karma Police

 

However lovely that would be though, they're not gonna be booked

Have to say that would be the poorest RB co-headline suggested on this thread. Hopefully no where near the festival next year

So poor, that it wouldn't surprise me if it was announced.

Reckon you're still overestimating how interested most modern R&L-goers are in Radiohead's post-EMI efforts. Cut out that run from Weird Fishes through to Reckoner and it's a nice tight 20 song set without any obvious stretches likely to lose the crowd.

aye like I said I think their set would have to be incredibly specific to be at all relevant at R&L. And of course they wouldn't book them because they couldn't guarantee that at all. don't really think there crowd would be lost in a set like that tho tbf, yeah there's that little run you mentioned but it's not long and it's not like it's their most dreary, niche songs.

Okay so most of the crowd would know songs 7, 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24.

Except the whole main set minus No Surprises.

I can only assume you're much older than the average R&L attendee because that setlist would go down like absolute shite. As would any setlist Radiohead could play.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Exit Music being on that paedo episode of Black Mirror probably means it's in their top three best-known songs among school leavers nowadays.

Radiohead could do a 'pick the setlist' kind of thing for people attending and it'd still go down terribly. They're a marmite band at best but especially with an audience largely made up of students celebrating exam results/having a summer blow out and I imagine whatever dance act they'd inevitably put up against them on the NME would have a spectacularly large crowd.

I mean I'm 20 but Radiohead have been my favourite band since I was 15, and I know that there's definitely still a strong (albeit relatively niche) fanbase among people that sorta age. I feel like they're kinda romanticised a bit by the kinda people who feel like they're too indie for classic britpop/current indie bands i.e. AM, Kasabian etc.

But I'm well aware that they wouldn't go down well at all and wouldn't be booked. Probably shouldn't have started this debate, just made the setlist out of interest of what it would look like and thought I'd post it.

[SomeoneListeningIn]

on a related note, was that information Neil got that Radiohead were originally meant to play in 2016 ever debunked? Always thought it was an odd one, but it also felt like the whole Biffy/FOB coheadline was a bit of a last minute replacement situation as well.

I'm 22 and I bet the majority of people I know at uni etc. would know like 5 Radiohead songs tops, nevermind the school leavers who attend R&L. They're also my favourite band but their songs just aren't well known amongst the R&L crowd. Even their bigger songs to us such as Idioteque/There There aren't gonna be known to teenagers unless they've actively gone out and listened to Radiohead albums; they don't exactly get airplay anywhere.

This is absolutely true. As good as they are, they're a basic next step option for teenagers after the big rock bands like Foo Fighters and Muse - that's how I got into them, same with all the fans that I know and I imagine many people on here did too. And I think that's accelerated over the years as they've become more of a sacred cow in the indie world.

Additionally I doubt people would just walk off distressed because they haven't played a Bends track for however long. Maybe those songs and ones of OK Computer and obviously Creep are still the most listened to among a large section but it doesn't mean the later stuff goes untouched.

I got into them because I picked up Pablo Honey for a quid from That's Entertainment and I actually thought it was really good so I checked out the rest of their stuff. That's when I got woke.

For some reason, Plan B is starting to be relevant again with a new single and with an album coming soon. Personally, I think he's a bit shit but any chance he'd be on the lineup?

Maybe FR headliner? TBH I doubt it, he hasn't played the fest since 2006 so...

I got into Radiohead because I'm a weird loser like all Radiohead fans.

Yeah i like Plan B, not normally my cup of tea with that sort of music, but he's good, and the Ill Manors album worked well with the movie! Very good!

I doubt he’d play either, but if he did he’d probably want a main stage slot. Which would make him less likely!
