KingPin Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I really really don't get the whole Kendrick thing either @foolee, but he's really not the problem with the line up, the problem with the line up is FOB/PATD and all the other rap/pop that's on the line up that doesn't make sense to me, especially when you consider a lot of it is different circles of people with not necessarily the strongest cross over (infact I'd say there's stronger cross over between Kendrick and rock/metal than there is between him and some of the rap/pop on this line up. Like seriously wtf is Dua Lipa and Post Malone doing on this line up? I genuinely think that it only looks awful because the 3rd headliner is naff and there's that much rap on the bill. The line up would look miles better being something like this (not wanting to change too much of the line up): Foo Fighters / PATD / Wolf Alice / Nothing But Theives Post Malone Kendrick Lamar / Royal Blood (co-headline) / Dua Lipa / Sum 41 The Vaccines Kings Of Leon / Courteeners / The Wombats / J Hus Skepta I still don't think that looks great, but at least it makes miles more sense that what we've got, I'm also assuming a good chunk of the rap already shown is just going to be on the Radio 1 extra stage (that is the one where all the rap goes right?)

I'm sure if they could have that lineup, they would. But they can't, so they don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex DeLarge Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 A bunch of young men all dressed in black smashing a car exetremely aggressively on stage... it made me feel so, intimidated and it’s just not what I expected to see on prime-time TV. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Blood have been announced for zero summer European festivals, obviously this may change but at this point I think its fair to assume they're not touring Europe this summer and so aren't available.

Personally didn't like it too much, but have liked all the previous stuff. Was a bit disappointed. I'm seeing them tonight in Birmingham so I'll let you know if they're decent. I've always had them either early NME or mid FR and could deffo see them doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Parklife hasn’t sold out has it? And TRNSMT has only sold out the one day, one or two of those will probably struggle. BST has sold out more days than that I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Leeds’ closest competitor now and it’s been kicking it’s arse for a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
