Can we not call some kind of a truce here. Everyone that's bothered, just be happy that you've not been fooled by an old member with a new account. Said new member, just be happy that you've still got a place to discuss festivals, just focus on that. And anyone else involved, the world is a pretty big place, with pretty big problems, this really isn't one of them.

Is it impossible for Depeche Mode to headline R&L? It would be a Cure style booking and they have sold out 2 nights at the O2 in double quick time. Didn't Neil suggest they would play a UK festival? If they don't play R&L where else would they play?

Maybe they're not heavy metal/ rock with lots of electric guitars and drums, but I don't really understand how you can class mumford as 'smooth, calm acoustic folk', listen to Babel and you'll clearly see that. I personally think they would be fantastic headliners.

i get that theyre pretty big atm but i doubt that they would cater for the R&L crowd (maybe just opinion?)

can you imagine wanting your headliner for the night to be a smooth, calm, acoustic folk band ?

doubt it.

Yeah he said they're in America at the time.

What about Latitude? I think the reason we ruled that out was due to it making them play two days in a row. However the O2 Arena shows suggest they'd be prepared to do that. Although playing two days in a row in two different countries may be a sticking point.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
