I think just because the majority of the people on here dislike them, they do not realise that for the punk/emo fans. Fall out boy were their beatles.

You will be surprised how many people I know nearly fainted when they found out fall out boy were in the UK playing reading. For many people, fall out boy will be their must see band of the whole weekend. They are massive and I think alot of people here try to not believe it.

I know this is a petty comparison, lets just have a look at youtube views.

Biffy Clyro - Sunday headliners. Most viewed video has 5million views

Fall out boy - (being argued to be at the lowest 4th down slot) - 21 Million views on one video.

Now try and tell me that they haven't got a strong following.

(Btw their vevo account was started two years ago)

Does that matter? I'm pretty sure a huge portion of those views are UK fans.

Look i'm not trying to degrade biffy as headliners, they deserve it. But maybe you should understand that Fall out boy are huge, and if they did play a big slot, I wouldn't be suprised.

But 4th down? you gotta be kidding me. Minimum 3rd, if not sub.

Now check ticket/album sales. What people watch for free and what people are willing to spend money on!

However if youtube is we are deciding these things surely beiber, that annoying bint that sang that friday song are inline to headline festivals.

3rd i could just see but no way will they sub.

Don't get me wrong i love FOB and there clearly is a lot of hype surrounding their reunion. Their new song is utter shite and it still made it to number 3 in the charts. For a guitar band in this day and age that is a huge achievement

However if they couldn't get above 4th in their heyday, how the hell could they justify 2nd now?? Would be so weak, i'm sorry but i cannot see them playing above 3rd

I'll happily be proven wrong tomorrow though if they do sub. I would enjoy it but i just don't see it being a strong booking at all

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
