Biffy Clyro

[A Guy Called Matt]

I just came here because I saw Biffy Clyro

I cam ehere to try and find out all about Biffy Clyro - I have listened to some but it has not, so far, grabbed me in any way.

What should I listen to first?

[Ipayne]

Depends what you prefer, if you like weirder and heavier music go for Infinity Land or Vertigo of Bliss. If you prefer more 'popular' rock orientated then give Puzzle a go!

[justanothername]

Did the info you get say that Biffy were being asked to headline? I could see them as a very strong sub under Foos

Headline or nothing

Like Ipayne said depends what you're into, the first three and very different to the past three albums but Puzzle is a good middle ground. Anyway if they played they'd probably play stuff off Only Revolutions (my least favourite but it has got Whorses) and Opposites but I really love Blackened Sky though.

Thanks - I will have a listen. I love heavy and also not so heavy and punk and R&B.................................. I confuse people with my musical taste!!

Only Revolutions and Similarities are the only ones I have really listened to before.

Weren't Kasabian due to play this year but not headline?

[Size9]

Nowhere near big enough to headline. Sorry.

Fair point, but if I was biffy I'd wait a few years and headline.

If they've accepted a slot lower than headline id be shocked

[Bobs]

Yeah, what would Biffy's role be?

I mean, seeing as they are 'coming to a close', on their third 'chapter', thats their words, not mine either, i surely would have thought they wouldn't even be touring. So where would they play? Other Stage headliner? Sub? or even Headline?

[rawaudioinput]

That's what makes me doubt Biffy will headline; they haven't even got any new material to promote and it'd be strange to book a smaller headliner like Biffy whilst they're in a transitory/low-profile state

I'd say that they're just big enough to be honest

They could be working on a album for next year as Simon said he was working on stuff already but I doubt that it will be around until 2016

[CHRLY]

They would headline. They headlined two major UK fests in the last two years, they are very popular.

[sisco]

Headlined Reading, Headlined IOW, Headlined T. Yeah..... prob not big enough hey.

[FloorFiller]

if the Foos headline (which is looking likely) then no way is this gonna happen

"we couldn't be arsed thinking of a proper third headliner along with Foos and *** so we just got a Scottish Foos cover band to headline the third day"

Nah bun Biffy playing before Foos, that needs to be Soundgarden's job.

[Bisque]

AC/DC's special guests again?

Knew u would be pleased

Would prefer Biffy to headline more than Saylor Twift. But i'm agreeing that they shouldn't headline, just yet.

[craigyb31]

Biffy would put on a brilliant show

[LondonTom]

Nowhere near big enough to headline. Sorry.

Except they have headlined every other UK festival apart from V, so how are they nowhere near big enough exactly?

Could easily have a new album, they only stopped touring Only Revolutions in the summer of 2012, and Opposites got released early 2013. Did seem like they was going have a bit longer off this time, with those extra shows and the whole phase 3 thing ...but it wouldn't be surprising.

Foo Fighters, Muse, Biffy Clyro would be just fine with me for headliners

Usually I'd argue Biffy as headliners. And they're big enough I reckon. But I think they would probably take subbing to Foo Fighters maybe.

[Gucci Piggy]

As much as they may be happy to play below the Foos, it'd destroy their chances of headlining in the next few years (which I can easily see them doing on their next album), so I doubt they'll do it.

Saw Biffy headline Sziget last year.

Might just be me but I can't see the fuss.

No lack of effort and pyros, but it just morphed into one tuneless noise.

Only emphasised more by the brilliance of Nick Cave on one of the other nights

Very true. Probably better to hold out in the long run
