  1. The mainstage is pretty band-heavy in fairness, taking up 15/22 slots - not quite "dead" yet! I know what you mean though, they're definitely less prevalent outside the indie world. A fun fact is that Gerry Cinnamon actually started out in a band called The Cinnamons: Their guitarist is his main producer now.
  2. Twenty One Pilots' two recent singles have been brilliant - I hope they'll be headlining next year. 'Overcompensate' marked their first UK Top 40 appearance since 2016, so they've still got a solid fanbase. They're set to announce a world tour very soon.
  3. From it they played The Scientist, Clocks, and In My Place frequently last year. They also played Politik at a few shows.
  4. He's apparently trying to get The Cure or The Smashing Pumpkins to play next year. In an interview YB said Robert Smith "couldn't make it work this year" but "loved the idea".
  5. Interesting to see Vampire Weekend billed as a headliner too
  6. and yes, Jefferson Starship do play a couple of Jefferson Airplane & Starship tunes! Usually just Sara, Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, White Rabbit & We Built This City.
  7. I'm not sure I can see Little Simz headlining anytime soon - what was her crowd like in 2022?
  8. It's crazy comparing this Saturday to 2019's: Mumford & Sons, Anne-Marie, Sigala, Billie Eilish, James Arthur, Jess Glynne, Foals, Miley Cyrus. You even had massive names on the second stage: Stormzy, Sam Fender, The Amazons, Lewis Capaldi, Charli XCX, Khalid, Vampire Weekend, Future, Bring Me The Horizon. Obviously Sam Fender wasn't quite as big at the time, but there were about 8 or so arena acts there compared to just RAYE now.
  9. Yungblud's own 'festival', happening at the Milton Keynes Bowl. Usually I wouldn't bother with a thread for something like this as they're glorified gigs rather than a festival, but his interview with NME suggests that it'll be a yearly thing. There will be a dedicated 'icon slot', this year be filled by The Damned. “Lil Yachty is trying to do what I’m trying to do and push the boundaries as much as possible, whether people like it or not. I also had the idea to do ‘the icon’s slot’, for an artist that we pay homage to as one that inspired it in the first place. The reason I’ve got a white streak in my hair is because of The Damned. Every year, at about 7.30pm we’re going to have an icon.”
  10. Yungblud has announced a Milton Keynes Bowl show for August, with quite a stacked lineup.
  11. I wonder why they've stuck a 3 in Rudimental's name? I might be wrong, but I don't think they've ever used that branding.
  12. Looking at their UK stats, I'm not convinced that Seventeen are bigger than Stray Kids. Stray Kids: Four charting albums, highest peaking at #40. Three charting singles, highest peaking at #44. Seventeen: No charting albums or singles. Even with worldwide monthly Spotify listeners, Seventeen have 6.7m - hardly a massive deal really. They clearly have a fanbase, but not one big enough to sell the 2000 albums it takes to make the UK charts.
  13. Their fans aren't Glastonbury's audience though, look at how small WizKid's crowd was last year.
  14. 6.7 monthly listeners worldwide on Spotify, nowhere near the top.
  15. As far as Kpop acts go (I partially keep up with them), I'm not convinced that Seventeen are that big over here. They've not even had an album make the UK Top 100, which only takes about 2000 sales these days.
