2011 Headliners

[rachbon]

KOL have barely any stage set up at all. Nothing compared to Daft Punk in 07, and what their set probably will be.

KOL play so many festivals that you can't really think they are an expensive band? Daft Punk on the other hand have played so rarely that they can (and will) charge a ridiculous amount and still get loads of offers because promoters know they will sell tickets.

KOL cost more..

You got that from a terrible source then. KOL's price will be widely known.

Daft Punks price is still well unknown. (Unless Jim King has booked them). If you knew anything about agnecies/ managers you'd know that.

Wait till they actually announce dates and we'll see how big the hysteria is surrounding them (and you will be able to get a rough idea of how much they cost).

[Poleski]

I got it from Jim King

I'll fire over this link to him then, he can answer that.

All I asked was -

Kings of Leon or Daft Punk, who would cost more to book to headline a festival?

That's fair enough then. I'd still be very surprised if that was the case.

[rexclark]

For crying out loud, how much more evidence do you need?

As an aside, if Jim knows how much Daft Punk are charging, do we recon this number was for 2007 or more recent?

Remember Loudsound (and more so AEG) promote gigs all the time, not to mention the other festivals they are involved in.

Any prices might not have been for Rockness

[Memory Man]

Daft Punk were probably more in 2007 than KOL, they wouldnt be now though.

[blackg1000]

For the love of christ, Jim King organises a major festival, he probably has access to who costs what all the time. Including Daft Punk. Plus aren't they signed to Soma? Surely JK talks to these guys on a regular basis and probably just slipped in the inevitable questions, 'How's Daft Punk doing?' 'Fancy getting them to play Rockness again?' 'How much?????'

[Paul ™]

For the love of christ, Jim King organises several major festivals

[DeanoH76]

Woha.

Bloody hell lets face it it's all guessing, aint it.

What about Justice?

[zlatan07]

that is interesting that KoL would cost more than daft punk, either daft pnk or a bargain or, as i suspect, KoL charge a ridonkulous amount per festival appearance

[Poleski]

of course you would be, cause you know everything and you're still right even when you've been proven wrong.

paul had a source to back up his point, you didn't.. but i suppose you're still right.

[Poleski]

if it was 2007s price then there is no reason why poleski might be in fact correct in his assumption the daft punk would now cost more, if it was more recent (please let it be so) then if you flip it would also mean he must have made enquiries about KoL recently as well...

[blackg1000]

Especially with Tron coming out as well. The hype seems to be even more about the soundtrack rather than the movie. Hence it having it's own website.

[rachbon]

Calm down. It's just a discussion.

I don't think Disney having an absolutely amazing marketing team really proves anything. Plus, there is an incredible amount of hype for the soundtrack but ultimately this is to make people go see the movie. This is probably the most hyped movie I've seen in a long time, even without Daft Punk or the soundtrack which has only really took off in the last month or two, this movie was always going to be massive.

[Elbear]

I don't get why the movie seems so popular if I'm honest. It does look good, but I just don't get why it's so special. Maybe it's because I've not seen the original stuff.

[rexclark]

The more I read this thread the more I laugh.

It's great to have a discussion about things but sometimes you have to just admit you're wrong.

Anyway, back to the discussion. I think the film will bring Daft Punk to the forefront again and I think the album will sell well but mostly because it's the Tron soundtrack not because it's Daft Punk. It's a soundtrack album and will appeal to fans of the movie and Daft Punk fans but it won't have general appeal and I can't imagine the fans getting into them because of the film will invest and go see them play live.
