    I Remember reading somewhere that he pulled the biggest crowd at R this year. To be honest I’m amazed he wasn’t way higher up the bill or even a headliner

    I saw an interview with a R+L booker where he mentioned specifically that Post Malone was booked before he really blew up.

    I think that by the time he was announced, he probably could have been sub/third; by the time of the festival he could have headlined.

    Owning a VW T2 a toilet tent is a must - there's no way you can have a shit in comfort in one of those as you'd have to put the table/bed away to have room, plus it stops you stinking the van out, there's always a Lenoir bottle or the sink if you need a pee in the night and it's raining...

     

    And shitting in someone else's toilet tent is not OK.

    Well this seems reasonable as it’s your pitch anyway and it’s not really affecting anyone else.

    Can’t stress enough that people in general camping setting up a tent where someone else could have camped just so they don’t have to walk to/queue at the toilets is selfish as hell, not to mention how gross it is for neighbours. Be dead embarrassing if they have to put out a notice reminding punters that tents are for people and not for shitbuckets.

    The 1975 are one of those bands you get laughed at for listening to. They're like the pop version of My Chemical Romance.

    I don't hate them, but if I was listening to The 1975 at uni and someone asked who I was listening to I'd probably say someone else.

    So both fests have bolted at booking BMTH who are now going going to attempt to sell their own outdoor show...much like QOTSA probably as they weren't given top spot themselves either....but sell really bad!

    Both festivals are put on by the same company - which is also putting on the outdoor show. I don't know how you can have been here so long and still think they're separate, competing entities.

    FR can, to an extent, decide what to do with them. For QOTSA, they clearly felt that headlining Finsbury Park was the best option - and it's not because they are a failure, as they clearly sold more tickets than Avenged Sevenfold would have, but because it makes the most business sense.

    Same could be true of Bring Me the Horizon. Like QOTSA, they appeal to a broad audience that probably won't be that willing to head to Donington on their name alone. So Festival Republic might as well have them attempt to sell 45,000 tickets in the capital and stick fuckin Korn on at Download because that fits with the festival and is gonna appeal to the sort of people that will be strongly considering Download.

    In any case I don't think they're likely to book a double-bill of chin strokers, even if they go together. More likely to have someone 'mainstream' under The Cure imo.

    Lana plays both sides so she always comes out on top. Two mainstream hits and then ten for the chinstrokers.

    Even last year, when we got a weird one like The National under Foos, you can see the sense behind it. Biffy were the obvious one to go under Sheeran seeing as they were the most "pop" of three subs and the only one who'd have songs that the casual music fans turning up for Sheeran would know. Then out of The xx and The National, stylistically it's a pretty obvious move to have The xx under Radiohead and The National under Foos.

    I contest this one. The xx into Ed Sheeran, The National into Radiohead and Biffy into Foos makes way more sense.

    Foo Fighters are in Europe a few weeks before this. I guess they could be a potential headliner but I'm not sure they'd get both them and Muse in the same year.

    I'm sure they could still do Hampden or Murrayfield pretty easily instead.

    Not knocking either band but TWOD into The Cure is a good recipe for the emptiest pyramid night in history :P

    Fallow evening, for the grass to grow in between Friday and Sunday.

    Yeah, you are right. Lyrically there isnt a great deal going on but the range of styles that he cycles through is impressive and it all just seems to work. The voice makes it in a lot of ways.

    He can flow a little bit too, he's a bit like Travis Scott in that regard where he floats about crooning for a lot of the time and only hits a flow on occasion. But when it hits, it's super-effective. I'm thinking about Sleep as an example and also on A2's Flair.

    The spoken word bits work really well live for the song to song transitions before another dose of energy is injected.

    That’s true about Trav actually. It’s mostly his beats I like too but there are just those moments where he hits a sweet spot. Will dig deeper into Octavian’s stuff to try and get a bit more of that.

    The thing about spoken word def sounds interesting in joining up the songs so I’m hoping to catch him at some point.

    Not getting a ticket has made you so pessimistic and jaded. I hate to see you this way.

    Accept Kaiser Chiefs subbing Foos and you get The National instead. Accept Mumford & Sons headlining Friday and, well, I guess you get to go see Janelle Monae on West Holts.
