  1. All the comments on their live shows I've seen have been negative though. Apparently the vocalist is really weak?
  2. £98 for the discount tickets from going last year. £10 off early bird and £20 off GA. Still not sure the lineup is worth £98 atm though
  3. Electric Callboy said they're coming back next year (last night in Leeds). Think they've got a good chance at subbing
  4. That lineup would also be terrible for me. Kinda realistic wishlist is All American Rejects (probably headliners as not played in the UK since SD14), and AFI
  5. Don't you write for Noizze? Got any hints for the lineup?
  6. I'm sure Nickelback much preferred reaching 1 million people, 900k of which loved them (90%) when How You Remind Me was released, as opposed to now having 1 billion people who know them and only 1 million fans who like them (0.1%) and 99.9% of people hate them. They were definitely bigger back then. Things like Spotify listeners can be inflated by one song being big at the moment and in playlists. I'd say the best metric for how 'big' a band is, is how many people they actually get in venues. Shikari just headlined Slam Dunk and are now on an arena tour in Feb. I'd say thats better than just playing academies from 09-15. They have more money to spend on bigger production. Maybe we should judge how big bands are by how much pyro they have during a show.
  7. If that's the case, the undercard is gonna have to be very special for me to go. And I've been to both days the last few years so that's saying something
  8. That's a wild Shikari take. They've got more popular over the last 15 years - they're about to do their first arena tour. Talk of them subbing at Download or at least 2nd-stage headliners. R&L isn't the festival for them anymore, but if they have one more big album or one of their songs blows up Sleep Token style on Tik Tok, they could potentially be Download headliners. And if R&L does go back to rock, then they could definitely HL MSW too
  9. Campervan tickets on sale today. Gone up to £95. Steep considering I paid £65 for 2022.
  10. Lower Than Atlantis. Not seen any talk of a reunion though
  11. Hopefully no bands I want to see at are Brudenell. Great venue, but too far away. Fortunately no bands I want to see are playing Hyde Park
  12. Ah fair, I agree with that. Discovered quite a few bands from the lineups tbf
  13. If we're looking at booking rock-oriented pop stars, all I'm saying is get Robbie Williams. Tbh, he'd fill the Radio 2-esque Killers slot from this year. Millennium, Kids, Rock DJ and Candy would go off on main stage. And even the 16 year olds would sing along to Angels
  14. The Facebook comments are dumb. Like you said, people can't read and then the top liked comment says 'Make it smaller and bring it back to Leeds city centre' like the best way to fix the issues is to regress
  15. https://www.slamdunkfestival.com/report Pretty transparent. I appreciate thay they did this. Other festivals (cough cough Leeds when it took me 5 hours to get out of Bramham Park, and I didn't event get an email back to my complaint) would not do this.
  16. Yeah well it didn't sell that well this year so maybe it needs to go back to catering to them...
  17. He's not touring this new album according to the label. But I would pay silly money to see him - he's a bucket list artist for sure
  18. Fair point, but I guess you save money on drinks though. Instead of 20 £6-7 pints, I had a litre of rum and a 12-pack of beer for £40.
  19. £190 for 4 days is still pretty solid. Music goes from 11-11 (5-11 on Wednesday). So 42 hours of music for £190 is great value - £4.50 per hour (and we spend every hour watching whatever's on). Loads of gems throughout the day too - all about the undercard.
  20. Agreed, this year we only watched Soft Play and last year we only watched Thrice and a bit of Idles. Undercard is way more important at Trees for me. Same for Slam Dunk too imo though
