NIN cater very much for your Download crowd as far as I know, putting them as a sub on a very R&L day but below a slightly heavier headliner is a great move. That's not me saying it's a done deal or that the guy is right but there is tour news to question is at least and he's specific about the day, could have said Eminem

Must say I would not be too happy with that top six- Black Sabbath don't suit my tastes anywhere near as much as Blur or Green Day do, and the only sub I'd be interested in seeing at all would be The Prodigy. Though I suppose I'm a bit less hard/heavy rock oriented than most on here.

Although I like NIN I can't see how the festival would seek out if this many alternative acts are being booked. All the Facebook comments on the R&L wall have been asking for your indie and pop type bands.

If they seem to be going too far away from the mainstream I could see a struggle...

Tool above SOAD and NIN below Biffy. :ninja:

In all seriousness though, this would be perfect for me (minus Eminem and FOB)...

Black Sabbath

System of a Down

Deftones

Eminem

Bloc Party

Editors

Biffy Clyro

Nine Inch Nails

Fall Out Boy

If NIN were to sub, the Biffy day would make most sense, as they're the 2nd heaviest sub, and Biffy are likely the 2nd heaviest headliner.

A small proportion of the top of the line up. That's the biggest seller amongst casual fans. Bands like SOAD, NIN, deftones seem to have a large following on these forums but are not massively popular with the mainstream, he'll they failed to sell out with the foos and kasabian last year, I think this route is going to be worse.

Much better for my musical tastes but as a whole I can see it being a huge struggle.

But there's still the places for acts such as Prodigy, Bloc Party, XX, Vampire Weekend, and likes of Miles Kane, Palma Violets on NME, plus if they manage some decent stuff on 1xtra like Macklemore and Frank Ocean, then there's no room for anyone to complain surely?

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
