Lineup 2015

[mrtourette]

15-24 year olds is their target audience, with the aim of reducing the age of their average listener.

I thought their aim was reducing the intelligence of their average listener.

Why the indie kids never hopped onto arcade fire, il never know. Surprised they are still not a commonly known band.

[dentalplan]

They did. That's a large part of their fanbase. Unless one of us is confusing what a [sigh] "indie kid" is.

[mrtourette]

Jesus wept Matt you've had to work pretty hard to be the dumbest person in this thread today.

[TheSilence]

Surprised they are still not a commonly known band.

Are you okay

[Gucci Piggy]

Who are Arcade Fire lol :')

[Babyquack]

I think people just like to still think they're not well known but they definitely are. 2 nights at Earls Court, Hyde Park and headlining Glasto - you'd have to not like music quite a bit to not have at least heard of them this past two months at least once.

[Tobieski]

Chili Peppers being pop punk hahaha

[mattgimmeshelter]

I don't know where you live but I've never actually met someone that can name an arcade fire song.

Only person that I'm friends with that knows them is because I showed them to them.

Must not have a lot of friends

[Gucci Piggy]

Lol wtf I know tonnes of people who like Arcade Fire. 31 of my friends like them on Facebook.

[Babyquack]

31 of my friends like them on Facebook.

well there you go then.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Arcade Fire are well popular what you talking bout matt42

[Gucci Piggy]

well there you go then.

It's a decent indicator though. Obviously I'm not saying that's representative of everyone's friends, but it's likely to be a fairly similar amount between most teenagers I guess.

[the wonderwhy]

People really need to stop using their friends as a data source

[#FreeComTruise]

I don't know where you live but I've never actually met someone that can name an arcade fire song.

How do you know? Do you ask everyone you meet to name an AF song? How would that topic come up in conversation with people you meet

[Tobieski]

Arcade fire are a big band here. Reading and Glastonbury headline slots, BST, arena tour etc. how could you argue otherwise?

[tyranicide]

They're big but not really mainstream

[mrtourette]

Of course they're mainstream, they headlined R&L and Glasto.

[tyranicide]

Not in the same way as Artic monkeys or kasabian. A lot of people wouldn't be able to name an arcade fire song - pretty much everyone can name an Artic monkeys song (if not a lot of Artic monkeys songs)

[mattgimmeshelter]

I don't disagree they are massive as mainstream.

Just for some reason (maybe it's where I live). People are more bothered about DJs than Arcade fire. It sucks

[dentalplan]

Do you live in Ibiza?

[TheSilence]

I don't disagree they are massive as mainstream.

But you argued their size matt42 why would you argue their size matt42 they headlined glastonbury matt42

[justanothername]

Lol wtf I know tonnes of people who like Arcade Fire. 31 of my friends like them on Facebook.

Only 6 of mine like Arcade Fire on Facebook and 3 of them are eFestivals users. Sad times

Okay then. 3 of my friends on Facebook like The Rolling Stones and that's you, MattDavies and justanothername. And lots of my friends who saw them at Glasto last year clearly must not know them as they haven't liked them on Facebook. I don't think it's a good representation at all - I don't bother to like bands on Facebook anymore, except a few of the smaller, local acts. People just aren't bothered by things like that anymore
