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

    • If anyone sees Lakefest this weekend on any sites please post here, I’ve got alerts set. Been on TFG in recent years and not sold out yet.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
