2013 Lineup

[SOAD]

I am not saying ticket sales I am talking about performance. Biffy have a good number of albums to fall back on. They probably have more singles than mumford have songs!

[thetime]

Most of my fave gigs have been in mid sized to little venues where bands can't really do a decent production. However, I do think when you get to the arena/headlining or subbing festivals side of things there is a little bit of an obligation to do a bit more on the production side. It just makes it all feel a bit more special. However, some acts can still pull off big shows with little to no production. SOAD at Download is prob my joint fave gig ever and they have virtually no production and my mates who can hear better than me say The Cure were the band of the festival this year. I just can sort of understand why people get a bit downhearted when there is no production and to be honest none of the headliners this year had that special a light show.

But it is making it up if you don't know, which you don't!

Watching Depeche Mode live videos, Dave Gahan has some moves.

[the wonderwhy]

Totally agree with you luke, then again its all about ticket sales for headliners.

[eFestivals]

I don't ever remember neil saying these things about blur, he has told us they are not playing any uk dates but he does not believe them

yep - that is the only thing I have said about Blur.

[SOAD]

Enjoy the Silence, from that set I think, wound me up no end. He didn't sing the chorus once!

[eFestivals]

give me a reason for why i'd be wrong.

you're so wrong you're even wrong with what you think I'm talking about.

[eFestivals]

so R&L can offer more money than a promoter can offering a band also a headline slot at a dual festival plus a 3 night stand in their home town on a 220k sell out? i bloody doubt it.

so you don't think that the world's biggest promoter can out-bid a small time guy* operating from the arse end of nowhere**, then?

[guitarbhoy1888]

so noel gallaghers playing the royal albert hall next year, means he's doing some live dates at least ...

reckon/hope he subs the more 'indie' headliner

[huntyyy]

Melvin said to the NME all three headliners at R+L have played the festival before. That rules Depeche Mode out. Well at least that's why I assume they've been removed.

[dentalplan]

I thought he said that At least one has and At least one hasnt?
