I thought it was the same weekend too. I always viewed that as a good thing, easier to get a big act into town if they can play two shows (= 2 pay cheques) rather than just one. I think it would help a lot when trying to attract acts from abroad like Stevie etc.

Why do people think arctic monkeys would even be thought of as a sub? Any uk festival they step foot on they headline, whether you disagree with me or not they are still VERY popular with the kids. If they are at glastonbury. They are headlining.

Arctics won't sub at GLASTO , don't mind if stones do HRC on Sunday, at least we get to see them when they are fresh not knackered. This HRC / GLASTO rumour is not a new rumour, I'm sure the press have picked up on it.

So it's more likely

Arctics

Stones

Mumford

Yep you've nailed it.

I love radiohead, and they are proper private school poshos.

The studies that have been undertaken are incredibly simple: compare the music charts from 2010 to that of 1960/70/80/90.

The results show, undeniably and unequivocally, that privately educated acts/people from prestigious academies now dominate the charts.

The reason for this is for 2 reasons:

1. The music industry is dominated by a snobbish culture

2. due to all the cuts, working class kids have little or no access to musical instruments, places to practice etc compared to private school kids

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
