Last album got a load of critical acclaim and they just did an arena tour which sold fairly well, including two nights at The O2. If they disappear for 18 months to allow the clamour for them to rebuild then their third album will be everywhere, and they've already 'promised' to headline Reading on it Edited March 16, 2017 by Zac Quinn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The 1975 were toss when I saw them on the Pyramid, but I still preferred them to Elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just I saw them at bestival about 4-5 years ago. I thought they had a couple of catchy yet throw away songs, never gave them a second thought after that, and I've always just been broadly aware of them hovering around in the background, without hearing too much more about them.

Matt42 Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I don't think 1975 are a contender to headline 2019. Probably more likely for Reading as everyone is suggesting I feel out of all bands around at the moment they probably deserve to be given a shot at headlining, but I don't know if they will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supreme Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 They do deserve to headline IMO but they will probably do a Foals and headline/coheadline Leeds and sub Glasto as they won't risk the headline slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plaskins Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 I hope the 1975 don't get any more popular. I they do, they will definitely headline in the the next few Glasto festivals. Doesn't take Einstein to work that out. Will be plenty of other stuff to go see though Might take place of a 'better' headliner though when it happens My prediction, Friday headliner 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Thinking about it 2020 is the 50th anniversary, so any big guns will be saved for that, therefore the 1975 and Arctic Monkeys + another for 2019.

Yeah if I remember correctly (maybe I'm not) they've mentioned already having a 2020 headliner lined up so definitely seems like they're treating that year as the big one. Not to say that the 2019 headliners will be shit, but I'm expecting something massive to be booked for 2020 if they've had to book it three years in advance.

reflekting Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm going to punt for based on no substance whatsoever. Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, Taylor Swift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep this is a quote from Emily a month ago: "We're talking to our first headliner for the 50th anniversary" You'd have to assume if they're speaking to a headliner three and half years before the festival they will be a pretty big hitter, and they certainly won't be using them the year before in 2019.

AM are a big hitter tbh, by that point they'll be one of those acts that can earn so much from stadium tours that they don't need to do festivals any more, so will be a massive coup for any festie they do play. If they aren't in this category already. Tempted to agree on The 1975, don't think they'd be ginormous enough for the 50th unless the Eavii tried to be cute and go "we have a headliner from the past (Mac), present (Monkeys) and future (1975)" but that's maybe a bit corny.

Alas, in three years time, The 1975 probably won't be the future anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
