kaosmark2 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I pretty sure RHCP wasn't an universally praised booking although the majority were very happy with them being announced. I remember a few arguments on here that RHCP were going to be awful and other people saying they were going to be brilliant which started over some people saying Arcade Fire are going to out do RHCP. I also remember my mate ranting they were going to be shit from when he saw them play at Hyde Park the year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 When you think about it, 2002's headliners would have been seen as quite "weak" at the time. There was The Strokes who only had one album out and were seen as flavour of the month, Foo Fighters who were at that stage unproven as headliners and were bumped up from playing 3rd the previous time (2000) when they had done nothing of note in between, and The Prodigy who were quite an unoriginal booking as they seemed to play every festival in sight (Not everything has changed over the course of 10 years then. ) and they'd already moved down from headliners to 2nd at Reading previously, in 1998. Another way of looking at it though, is that booking The Strokes and Foo Fighters as headliners in 2002 was quite a daring move, similar to Arcade Fire and My Chemical Romance in more recent years.
