Slam Dunk does have swaying power though. They got KIGH and WATIC to do reunion shows out of nowhere aha. If they could get Set Your Goals over here again I’d be very happy. Would settle for Hey Monday also. im predicting announcement after live at leeds since they’ll be super busy with that. So announcement maybe on 18th?

I’m feeling YMAS will get a ‘special guests’ slot somewhere to do a TOYC set with maybe a few extras. really want it to be ADTR. They pulled out previously and they never rescheduled their 2020 shows that were on the same site. they’re about the right size for it tbf.

I think they would have been a little wasted at Slam Dunk sadly so I’d say it’s the best place for them.

As shite as it sounds I think we are getting YMAS as one of the key club stage headliners. Could be TOYC heavy since that album was released through Slam Dunk Records. As much as I love the album, I went to two anniversary shows for it and I couldn’t care less to see it again. They’re such a dull band now. Still holding hope for ADTR as main headliner Predicting seeing Boys like Girls, All American Rejects, Knocked Loose, Hot Milk

Could also be due to Embargo. Whether that’s an album announcement, tour finishing or something else

I think there’s always a place for his music but due to how erratic he is and like I said due to him being closely associated to hate groups then any promoter would distance themselves to not be associated. he’d also probs want some obnoxious fee in an attempt to climb back to his ‘billionaire’ status that he never had lol.

Sadly Kanye will likely never be booked for another show given his controversial views that are closely associated with hate groups…

Likely to get those anniversary shows they’ve been hinting at for around a year…

That lineup would never happen. Babymetal and MGK are both headliners in their own right.

More than likely BMTH with their own day somewhere or Download. I don’t see her at Slam Dunk ever sadly.

Even as a big Blink fan I think they’re alright, a little forgettable if I’m honest with hype aside. More than you know didn’t seem to have a really punchy and catchy chorus that they’re known for. One more time is heart felt and hits the fans in the feels, better of the two for sure. I have no doubt the album will be full of bangers though especially with Travis producing.

They’re pretty much made for festival slots with how many well known songs they have. Even your average listener knows a handful of songs. Plus they seem to have sorted Toms vocals out live (no doubt through a filter but sounds way better than when he was last playing with them) The coachella slots helped shoot them back in to the mainstream for sure I personally hated Neighbourhoods, dogs was alright though. They just didn’t promote it much so it got overlooked. They’ve gone in heavy to promote this album though so gonna be a decent return for them no doubt.

We can definitely add Blink to the equation with the new album. It sounds like it’s going to be massive so no doubt they’ll want to get it in front of as many people as they can. not sure another full world tour is what they’ll want to do as opposed to a full festival run. They’re playing when we were young literally days after their album drop so that will lay the ground no doubt.

That ain’t happening with the size of them plus as above it would bring in a crowd that wouldn’t care about the rest of the line up. Another secret slot maybe but that’s already been done. 🙃

Exactly this, it would piss off sooooo many people as they’d see it as moving in the wrong direction and probably lead the fest to sell out to sell tickets. You’d have a lot of tickets sold for them and the fest would suffer, the crowds would just hover at their stage waiting and other stages would be dead. The atmosphere, vibe and essence of the fest would be gone. They are essentially a pop punk band but way closer to the pop spectrum. As above, worked as a novelty guest slot but wouldn’t go down as a listed headliner. Also their fee for a headline slot would likely be most of the fests budget 😂

Can we add Wet Leg to that also, I truly hope they do retire as rumoured. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

It would piss a lot of attendees off though tbf plus they’ve got to be too big with how well their own tour sold.

I could deffo see Skrillex being around, maybe a midday or if we get the big tent. I see Fred Again… just doing his own shows and maybe glasto, I feel like it’s an experience seeing him after the Ally Pally shows.

The things I’d do for a Homesick full album show. Boys Like Girls will definitely be there, I’d assume headlining key club on one side with YMAS on the other side. Depending on how sour the relationship is since they keep getting booked and cancel, I could see The Used there doing In Love and Death in full for the 20th anniversary

You know, I have a weird feeling that people want Fred Again… and we’ll end up with Skrillex. personally think it would go down really well, he’s made a huge comeback and he’s also relevant to people to the ‘older’ crowd that lived through the Dubstep and Jack U eras of Skrillex.

His fee? Would draw a huge crowd but I’d imagine he asks a real premium price which would likely be the cost of 2/3 Leeds/Reading level headliners.

He’s got a pretty big following in all fairness. I went to his arena tour for Neck Deep but the show was really solid and had the whole crowd in the palm of his hand. That said he’s just a modern day Avril Lavigne with the cliches and tackiness ramped up to 11. Definitely has that vibe of an industry plant. Could see him play depending on who else is playing but if they had a headliner (twenty one pilots, MGK, etc) that has a crossover with his fans it’ll be packed. If it was Blink or someone of the sorts then I think people would just hang around waiting for Blink and not really care. Personally can’t see him ever getting to the level of headlining, sub at best. His arena tour relied partially on Neck Deep being the ‘special guests’

I just don’t see it happening, he’s renowned for his live shows so can’t imagine he’ll compromise it. plus his standing tickets are roughly the price of a weekend ticket. 👀

His US tour stage runs the entire length of the arenas is what I’m saying. I don’t think there’s ever been a Leeds headliner with an extended stage like that?

Crowd for Travis would be obnoxious as hell. I still see him getting his own stand alone shows, if you look at the stage set up for the US tour he’ll want to bring that and it ain’t gonna fit at a festival aha.
