Who should be subbing...

[Englishdragon]

Ive had a idea. What about Hot Chip subbing one day?

could easily do it and they dont seem to be playing anywhere at the minute.

Isnt the term co-headliner meaningless anyway. The headliner is the band who plays last, the term co-headliner is just an ego boost for the band not headlining. The only time there would be a true co-headliner is if the top 2 bands played reading and leeds and switched position.

I believe it would be more to do with what they get paid for their co-headlining appearance. Both would get the amount of money that would be forked out on a headliner.

[mrtourette]

I think he means that the co-headliners would get paid the same amount, even though one is playing above the other. I can quite easily believe that the Libertines got paid the same or more than Arcade Fire last year and although Win Butler referred to them co-headlining (jokingly I hope) it's clear that Arcade Fire were the headliners.

Unless a festival announces them as co-headliners then no matter how much we guess that they're getting paid or how close we think they are in terms of profile and popularity they ain't co-headliners.

[kev1664]

I'm not sure if that's true, as I can't imagine both Guns N Roses & Arcade Fire both being paid the same last year and it would depend on the negotiations rather than all headliners having a set fee.

It's been provided before, it was a press interview which was aimed at getting on the bil. Don't be so lazy and google it yourslef.

Don't be so lazy and link me to it. Can't find anything via google.

Why are peopel so incompetent, this took me less than a minute. It was on Live Lounge...

Thats a two post thread on this forum.

If you're on about this live lounge:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/sessions/2010-03-29_30secondstomars

Then all he says is 'We would die to play Reading and Leeds and Glastonbury and we hope one day we would get the chance to do that'.

[mrtourette]

I would imagine it'll be that apart from 30STM. I refuse to believe they would be booked to sub.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

If Elbow and Pulp are both there I may forgive them for the headliners.

[Tigerdragon]

Atleast they're putting all the questionable bands in one place where they can easily be avoided.

If The Streets could go ahead and be NME headliners on the Sunday now as a final farewell I'll be happy enough.

[Vacant0]

Well there was about a dozen 30STM's threads I'm not searching through any more then I need to.

So it shows them begging to play and then not being booked then, yes? I agree with Leto though, he should die if he does get booked for R&L.

[jump]

No it doesn't. Its nothing more than Jarad Leto naming two UK festivals that he'd love to play during an interview with Fearne Cotton, he's hardly begging anyone; and the interview was towards the end of March of last year after the big bookings would have been made anyway.

[mb23]

If you listen closely, Leto actually says 'We can't w-we would die to play reading and leeds'. I think he was about to say 'we can't wait to play reading and leeds' but then obviously had to change what he was saying for obvious reasons. Looks like we're going to get them by what I heard. Obviously I could be wrong though!

hahahaha my bad! oh dear, sorry

[Vacant0]

So saying he'll die is just a casual comment then?

At the time they weren't as big as they are now, they were playing venues like Koko and I've seen bands that weren't even headlining the Lock Up stage play there around the same time. What it does show is FR aren't inclined to book them as they have never played before and not booked after making their intrest (which what a bands do with the media to get fest bookings) shown.

[jump]

Have you even watched the interview?

The interview was only last year - if they get booked this year then they'll have been booked after making their interest known. They headlined the second stage at Download and subbed The Prodigy on the second stage at T last year - I've no idea how many times they've appeared at British festivals (and which ones) prior to that so until I do, them not playing Reading before doesn't really mean a lot.
