eFestivals Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 9 minutes ago, ghostdancer1 said: they may indeed be "in the ascendancy", but they're not there yet as they're not selling big enough for a new band to be headlining, don't have enough of a back catalogue compared with bands that have been around years that can headline, and are not playing big enough slots elsewhere to be in with a serious shout of headlining at the moment. people were saying that sort of thing about Muse when they were announced to headline the first time. Really, what 'proves' a headliner is what they do on the day. They don't have to be the most popular band in the world before they take to the stage, but they need to be trying to be that before they leave it.

kingcrawler Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 The 1975 pretty much sold out their arena tour in 2016 so I’d say they’re a bit bigger than The xx. I think The xx are bigger now than they’ve ever been too, so going with the declining record sales argument doesn’t really work for them. I agree right now they’re not quite there but I think everyone who’s predicting them to headline is also expecting their next album to be successful too, which is what will move them onto headlining major festivals.

Yep, if you want to see a band really trying to be the biggest band in the world check out a few songs from The 1975's O2 show. They've got the stuff and will only keep getting bigger - lime em or not, just try and knock this performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly wouldn't bank on those people who suddenly jumped on the bandwagon halfway through that last album campaign to stick around for the next one, and I say that as a big fan who would love it to happen.

Hey, I hopped on the bandwagon mid way through the last campaign and I'm still on it I think it just took me a while to come around to them actually being a fairly special act rather than another Wombats or whatever, and I'm sure there are plenty others who have been through or will go through the same path I did. Thought they were shite for years until Girls became a bit of a guilty pleasure and then I listened more to realise they're actually p good.

I have actually, there's usually an hours gap between end of JP sub and start of Park headliner . Edit - although personally never been to Glastonbury, so I may be underestimating how long that walk takes at that time of night.

I think Sam Smith probably fell short of jumping to headliner and subbing is a good shout now. Paramore isn’t, IMO; there’s a reason they only play R+L. 1 minute ago, priest17 said: nah they only listen to FuzzyDunlop. Still can’t believe that.
