    The 1975

    In this case yes. Shit loads of people were going for the day because of Rage and as the rest of the acts on the line up that day have very little cross over there’s now nothing at all to appeal to them. Pale Waves are the only other guitar band on the main stage that day. It’s like if Elton John was headlining Download so a load of Reg fans booked day tixs only for him to pull out and then get replaced with Slipknot, those ticket holders have nothing for them now. They just need to wait for the replacement to be announced and then try to resale their tixs.
  2. If it was Brixton it would have probably sold out but the next commonly used venues which increase in size are Ally Pally or Wembley in London which are double the size so it was always gonna struggle. As it’s a reunion it’s probably for the best it’s not sold out so fans don’t miss out on seeing them.
  3. The speculation is they are gonna replace Rage Against The Machine at R&L but a few people in the know are saying The 1975 are going to be announced as the replacement so who knows. But it’s odd the exclusive banner has been removed from Gorillaz whilst the days have kept theirs.
  4. To be honest I hope it’s not Rage. The line ups on their days have been shit, I’d much rather have an arena tour or something like APE or a Finsbury Park show with some acts that makes sense under them.
  5. So apparently Gorillaz have had their UK exclusive tag removed from the poster now.
  6. However, the traders were made to buy from a company partially owned by the Woodstock promoter who sold goods at their prices, so the vendors had to buy a $3 water from them to then sell on for $4 to the crowd. https://www.spin.com/2019/07/woodstock-99-live-report/ *Nevermind, incident beat me to it.
  7. Just saying go to TFL is a bit shit. They could have the festival finish a bit earlier to allow people more time to catch the last trains or offer shuttles/Big Green Coaches at the fest.
  8. I'm not really sure what your reasoning is here, lots of artists take breaks and have new albums but I don't know how you're dotting that to say he can only be 3rd down or a tent headliner. He's came back with a new album which went to number 1 and is playing a lot bigger gigs than before like the 40k Finsbury Park show so that is a sizable difference to the Big Top headliners this year like Happy Mondays and Shaggy.
  9. I think your underestimating how big Jamie T is nowadays. Jamie T is headlining a 45k London show next year whilst the Big Top had Shaggy as headliner this year and plays London venues like Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
  10. No worries. I just found it funny how I quickly I got excited only to be deflated.
  11. I reactivated my Facebook account to look at that as I got excited and thought this was finally the free tickets only to see it's an announcement of an announcement. Now back to deactivating Facebook!
  12. Don't get me wrong as not having notable headliners does suck but it is ultimately a party festival so the line up doesn't matter as much as say a London festival which is driven by it's big names. I've never gone to Boomtown for it's headliners as there's closer and cheaper fests with bigger headliners, I've always gone for the party and experience. It's just one year, there would be a few put off but as long as they course correct and get a few name headliners like Wu Tang or whoever and actually announce them all would be forgiven.
  13. People have called DOOMED on other festivals before which managed to bounce back like when it happened to Glasto and R&L. If they can adjust and learn from their mistakes for the next year it's fine, it's when the festival has turned to shit for a few years in a row then we can declare it is dead.
  14. Yep, look at Pearl Jam. They tried to take a stand over the likes of Ticketmaster only to be mocked and then lost.
  15. Thing is no one has actually said they want "edgy" music. The only people who have been saying the word edgy are the ones mocking twats like Kid Rock or was used by people asking why do others want "edgy" music which then got reused in the reply back to them.
