I just don't imagine any non dance acts would headline ahead of them just now, their new album seems to have had great reviews and they are popular within the festival

I think what you're trying to say is that the only way they wouldn't 'outright' headline (ie close the stage) is if they were part of a co-headline/closing dance act set up, like TDCC a few years back or BBC last year.

Which is entirely possible, but what you're basically saying is that they're big enough to headline, too big to sub but OK for the position in the middle, and getting all that from the fact that they're playing Brixton.

And are they really as big as TDCC/BBC were? Didn't they play Ally Pally around the same time they did those slots?

Well they were 6th down on main last year and a move up from an equivalent slot on the NME would be in the top two, and I personally think they would be given a shot at headlining.

If 'with a closing set' is going to be the new 'coheadlining' bollocks where people think two acts that can't headline their stage club together - despite Bombay Bicycle Club being the biggest NME headliner last year and the only time 'with a closing set' has ever been listed as so - then count me out.

BBC had done Ally Pally in 2012 and then did Earls Court in December after a no 1 album, hence why I think headlining NME was too low down for them, but given there Glasto/T slots I'm probably wrong.

Well they were 6th down on main last year and a move up from an equivalent slot on the NME would be in the top two, and I personally think they would be given a shot at headlining.

I really hope the 'closing set' thing was just a one off as last years 'co headlining' appears to have been. Having a closing set doesn't make a NME headline booking any weaker, but regardless of it to me Peace are still only really capable of subbing. It seems like the natural progression from 6th on main I'd say (Eg. Enter Shikari).

It's a fairly extensive tour but the venues are pretty damn small; doesn't the Junction in Cambridge have a capacity of 650?

It looks very similar to the tour they did on the back of their first album

Don't know enough about all the venues, but their Manchester/London venues are twicce the size of those listed for their previous biggest tour, which shows a fair improvement.

If 30STM are announced, I hope they actually fill their slot with 100% music.

I saw them a RW a couple of years back and we had trampolinists and gymnasts running around the stage and a bunch of blokes dressed as gimps playing drums.

I was at this RW too, I didn't watch them but I walked along the back toward the barn, really weird, weird band, weird in this instance meaning shit

I turned up at the end of that 30STM set to get into the front section for Depeche Mode afterwards, and had to stand through Jared thanking all the "believers" out there and a load more pretentious shite and killed myself.

The song they played afterwards was even worse. Would have sooner chopped all my fingers off with a blunt knife. What a bellend.

    • No, but the same type of ridiculously entitled attitude.
