justanothername Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) This is my guess also. Edited April 24, 2014 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 They could probably have saved some money by not booking Libertines at all, the way this thread has gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart1000 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Dizzee Rascal or Rudimental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) I think Rudimental are just as far, if not further, from the Libs than Lily Allen. It'll probably be someone like Razorlight/James/Travis, the kind of rubbish that is around for T or Benicassim in the weeks after Edited April 24, 2014 by MattDavies__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenInchToenaiIs Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 How about The Strokes? Nothing in Europe yet, but Julian must be coming over for European shows. Or just Julian on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 there's no big names supporting, or alternatively there's no big sellers supporting. Except there might be, but it's a bit off-beat for what you'd expect so I'm not sure it'll have the desired effect (tho I can see what they're trying to do). Overall it's hard to guess at how it might sell because it's trying to appeal to two different crowds where I don't think there's much cross-over between them. If both sides of that crowd buy into it then it'll sell pretty well, but if both don't it could well be disastrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonTom Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I reckon some sort of "indie-dance" cross over act from what Neil has said, it seems it might possibly appeal to Libertines fans but isn't what you would normally assosiate with that sort of indie fan or something like Justice maybe? *getting hopes up* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Placid Casual Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Really? I don't think that would be 'trying to appeal to two different crowds' too much. I imagined it'd be something pop/hip hop or an oldie act. MSP aren't quite an oldie act yet and have many fans who'd also follow other indie rock bands.

kingcrawler Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Weller still appeals to The Libertines crowd, The Specials are a good shout for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Placid Casual Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Frank Turner would be brilliant! I just can't see it, with Neil saying, 'I know what they're (BST) trying to do', unless it is a London theme...

mike46 Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Urgh Frank Turner? No thanks. Can't stand him. Ex-Eton toss-pot educated alongside Prince Willy trying to be 'punk' - about as anti-Libertine as you could get...then again, with this reunion being solely a money making a scheme it probably fits perfectly.

LondonTom Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Nah doubt it will be Frank Turner with him with doing that show on Blackheath later in the year (Even if I reckon thats going bomb completely and get cancelled ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
