Probably. Most bands bring out stuff to tide people over until the debut album.

I wonder how well the album is going to do, if it's not up against any major releases it could get alot of coverage - especially with them playing reading on it's release week.

If it goes #1 per say, could you see them getting a massive slot if they were re booked next year?

I do personally. I know some people think their progress is going to be slow but I can see them getting big slots on a few festival bills next year.

Only thing I can see right now, is they'l probably get put onto the other stage at glasto.

Still think they will be in the NME next year at reading, they don't feel like a mainstage band yet.

As you said, they haven't released anything yet so I imagine they're not quite a 'main stage band' yet. I think they'll play main, they'll pack out the NME this year and are playing a number of large open air gigs this year so they would probably handle it in just over a year's time.

Then why hasn't V festival sold out? Surely that's much more populist than Reading this year?

because that type of music is waning in popularity. Guitar music isn't doing well but it's worth noting that as Reading and Glasto are the two only fests to sell out, it has to be doing something right

IOW is an outlier because holy shit who actually goes to IOW

    • Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.
    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
