I know a few people that like KOL (one girl I knows loves them) but most people only know Only By The Night and don't tend to give a shit about them and even the ones that liked them enough to see them this year don't see that interested about them (expect for that girl). But the kids still love Blink and I know loads more Blink fans (me included)

I'd say KoL are as popular as the Killers are now. They're still a big name and probably will never be lower than a headline slot but interest in them has entirely waned.

I'm not so sure mate - played Wembley last year. Just because they've gone out of the spotlight for a while because they've essentially finished touring the latest album doesn't mean people aren't still interested in them and excited about seeing them live.

Yes but IOW isn't R+L. IOW almost exclusively hosts some of the safest, most boring stadium rock names as headliners so they were never going to fail there. R+L is more youth-centric and, as raw pointed out earlier, I don't think youth really gives a shit about them anymore now they're just releasing as an excuse to do tours that sell off the back of OBTN.

Exactly, the reason why IOW lineups are liked by people is because they play it safe every year.

I bet the Arctics will be booked next near for IOW.

They did Wembley but KOL have done Milton Keynes, Liberty Stadium, ST James Park, Sad Hydro in Glasgow, Sheffield Motorpoint and IOW. That seems pretty huge and in demand. Although I don't know how that compares to Titp, iow and Wembley

Out of a group of us going (12 I think) only about 6/7 of us plan to go to blink - the rest seem to be going to disclosure

Out of a group of about 25 of us going, I know only one person going to Blink, the rest will be at either Disclosure or Flume.

Perhaps we can use this information about what everyone's friends are doing to create an accurate assessment of how big each act's crowd will be and whether they are justified headliners?

Or perhaps it means fuck all. Who knows.

Indie: Arcade Fire

Hard Rock: Guns & Roses

2011

Pop Punk: My Chemical Romance

Indie: The Strokes

Hard Rock: Muse

2012

Pop Punk: Foo Fighters

Indie: Kasabian

Hard Rock: The Cure (more classic rock but yeah)

2013

Pop Punk: Green Day

Indie: Eminem

Hard Rock: Biffy Clyro (kinda)

2014

Clutching at straws a little there I think...

      Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.

      I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
