Too Big for their Slot


Guest NeilVJ

Recommended Posts

Was looking through the wondeful clashfinder and was thinking of which acts will be too big for their slot come Festival time. The one that jumped out was Plan B on JP Tent who has got very big very quickly and also Frank Turner on the Queens Had.

Can see both acts more than filling the tent.

Any more other have spotted?

i like their 1st album but i think vampire weekend are maybes a bit high up the card for 3rd top, would have thought in the current climate it would have made more sense to put florence on the main stage swapped with vampire weekend on the other stage, they are both on at the same time but im sure florence will draw a much bigger crowd.

The Courteeners on before Phoenix with a pretty early afternoon Other Stage slot? Surely a band that can sell out the GMEX (or whatever its called these days), Brixton Academy etc should be higher? Maybe their second album tanked but I seem to remember it going top 10.

Flaming Lips.

If 12 critically acclaimed albums, including the best album of the 90s, over a 25 year career doesnt deserve a headline slot on the pyramid then I dont know what does.

Oh wait a minute, unoriginal tedious shit like Muse, Killers, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys etc seem to be the requirement for that slot.

florence will easily get the bigger crowd than vampire weekend and hot chip...really odd if you ask me..i can only assume it was booked and agreed ages ago - otherwise a terrible error..now the other stage will be rammed far back with no speakers to back it up...the other stage is my worst stage to be honest has nothng going for it...
