Enter Shikari - A Kiss For The Whole World
Pierce The Veil - The Jaws of Life
Nothing But Thieves - Dead Club CityI'm a massive fan of Shikari and NBT, and a big fan of PtV, but all of those were pretty dissapointing for me and definitely my least favourite albums each have put out.
My top 10 is:
Sleep Token - Take Me Back To Eden
Holding Absence - The Noble Art of Self Destruction (if you like emo/post-hardcore, listen to this!)
Creeper - Sanguivore
Origami Angel - The Brightest Days
Movements - RUCKUS!
boygenius - the record
Demob Happy - Divine Machines
Trophy Eyes - Suicide and Sunshine
Avenged Sevenfold - Life Is But a Dream…
King Nun - Lamb

I think they would definitely be a headliner, yeah. And I'd absolutely love it!
All the comments on their live shows I've seen have been negative though. Apparently the vocalist is really weak?

Electric Callboy have something else bigger than Trees in their plans apparently
Where did you hear that?
-
£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

Would Trees book bands like Ice Nine Kills, Electric Callboy, Don Broco etc?
Don't see any reason why not
-
Electric Callboy said they're coming back next year (last night in Leeds). Think they've got a good chance at subbing

What are you hoping for?
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

In your heyday, you reach 20,000 people and 90% like your music, that's 18,000.
15 years later and your music is in the palm of 1,000,000 peoples hand, and only 5% like it, that is still 50,000.
I'd argue that band is far worse and more unpopular because 95% of people hate them, compared to the 10% previously. They have more exposure though, but that doesn't equal bigger.
Bigger is putting out a bigger album, more acclaimed, more sales, picking up more fans off the latest stuff.
Not living off new kids picking up your music from 17 years ago and enjoying it.
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.

I’m going for:
ADTR with YMAS as very special guests on the Main Stage.
I Prevail headlining the heavy outdoor stage with Bury Tomorrow below them.
Funeral For A Friend and The Blackout headlining the dual tent stage playing Casually Dressed and The Best In Town in full.
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

Enter Shikari an act that every scene kid from 2008 liked (2nd best to adjacent bands like AM, FOB, PatD, Paramore etc), now just filling out undercards to give credence to a festival, peaking with Take to the Skies in 2007. They've gone 4th R1, 6th MS, 2nd R1, 5th MS, 4th MS, 1st Lockup, 3rd MS, 5th MS, 1st Lockup, 6th MS. There is no steadily rising cred for them, they are just a mid-afternoon band.
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

Campervan tickets on sale today. Gone up to £95. Steep considering I paid £65 for 2022.

A good samaritan has set up a Clashfinder with all the set times that have been published so far. Would recommend adding a highlights row so you can plot out the day (go to 'customise' then 'stages').
Looking forward to seeing the Brudenell lineup - hoping the likes of Fat Dog and Cowboyy are there
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

Cryptic post on their Insta story today. All I can see is a geezer in the background who has what looks like a Godspeed You! Black Emperor tattoo?
Is that Model/Actriz's vocalist?

Ah fair, I agree with that. Discovered quite a few bands from the lineups tbf

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

It's been going since 2007?

Yeah, the public, who decided to not read the bit where they took full responsibility for what happened before listing what they'd found caused the problems, and morons just decided they're blaming them even though they specifically stated they're being honest about what caused them but are still taking all responsibility
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

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.

A lot of older people complaining about a festival that's clearly not meant to be for them anymore.
Yeah well it didn't sell that well this year so maybe it needs to go back to catering to them...

Given that most APE attendees treat the place like a glorified beer garden, Sufjan would be a disastrous booking. And I bloody love the bloke.
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

Well I for one appreciate you, your Yeastiness. Nice to have small teasers to create anticipation
