Glasto forum meltdown would be incredible but I don't think it'll happen for them yet

[dentalplan]

Biffy won't headline Glastonbury on the third year of Opposites.

QOTSA are finishing the Like Clockwork tour in October and Foos are expensive so either would be unlikely for Soni.

I don't think any of those Download headers will come off either: BFMV aren't big enough, Slipknot would be offensively soon and if Pearl Jam didn't play this year, I don't think they're ever going near Download or heavy festivals.

I'd agree with Muse and FM for Glastonbury, and the IOW, T and R+L headliner sets look about right.

I'm sticking with The Prodigy, The Black Keys and Metallica for R&L. Slipknot for Soni and Blink for Download are the others I'm sticking by too.

Glasto is always a difficult one so wasn't sure about that.

Agreed on the Queens comment but i could see soni snapping up foo's depending on what other festivals go for. If soni can afford metallica, iron maiden and prodigy they can afford foos, can see Dave wanting to play knebworth too having never done so. If not i can't see room in the market for soni and download next year. There just doesn't seem to be enough bands to headline both that'll be around next year.

[tyranicide]

Doesn't soni only have 50000 capacity? So its not really worth them booking the really big bands as there's only so maby people that can go

Are Iron Maiden and Metallica not really big bands?

[dentalplan]

Yellow said that Foos would cost more than Soni's entire headliner budget, and he doesn't just make shit up.

[#FreeComTruise]

but how much do Foos cost and what is Soni's budget, WE NEED FACTS

[giantwagon]

Do people think Biffy will actually do any uk festivals next year?! Been nearly a year since I last saw them and I need my Biffy fix

[kaosmark2]

Yellow doesn't just make broken ribs up.

You reckon?

[JSmurphy]

Just out of curiosity gathered from reading the last few pages, why exactly was RHCP's headline set in 07 so catastrophic?

[tyranicide]

Are Iron Maiden and Metallica not really big bands?

Foo Fighters are bigger & more mainstream & probably cost more. All Metallica can really do in the UK is Download and Soni (yes they did Glastonbury but that's different) where as Foos can play pretty much all the major UK fests.

They could potentially do Download or Soni and if they get their next album out their will probably be a tour as well

Kiedis jumped on a cable which fucked their sound, they didn't play a selection of hits and they finished the set with a colossal jam.

[Ipayne]

I think it was also the fact JF and AK looked like they didn't want to be there and AK's voice was fucked then. I Read somewhere that they said themselves the Live Earth show to the end of the SA tour was their worst period performance wise. Even though they've been great the 2 times I've seen them they definitely seem to be a hit and miss live act; Watched the Lollapalooza proshot from Chile this year and it was pretty bad.

Metallica are definitely bigger than Foos, and they can easily play R&L, I have no idea what you're trying to say

They basically didn't play any hits. They didn't just finish the set with a jam either, they probably spent more time jamming than playing songs.

[dentalplan]

Metallica are definitely bigger than Foos

It's not really important but I'd strongly disagree with that.

[mrtourette]

Yellow's word is a s good as fact.

[#FreeComTruise]

I'd strongly disagree with your strong disagreement

Seriously though, if you look purely at the demographic festivals here aim at, I'd agree Foos are more popular, but on the whole, worldwide etc. Metallica are surely the bigger band in general?

[mrtourette]

Why would you ever try and argue such a ridiculously unprovable point, and back it up with something as lame as 'x are surely the bigger band'? You don't exactly sound convinced.

[dentalplan]

Have a Snickers tourette.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Foo fighters: 11,387,856 likes

Metallica: 37,887,227 likes

Think that settles it once and for all.

It was more questioning whether he'd agree or not, calm it
