Lineup 2016

BOOM BOOM

[rawaudioinput]

To be fair although Muse are massive they do seem on the decline and have certainly shifted from Radio 1 to Radio 2 in terms of demographic; considering that R&L was the last festival they played in the UK by the time they get around to it again they may no longer be the best option for FR

I'm not saying that they're all of a sudden going to be playing academies but they may end up in a position like Pearl Jam where they're still a huge band but perhaps aren't the first pick for every major festival

[tyranicide]

Muse are really relevant to R+L, I went to go and see them last week with half the people I'm going to reading with

[Tobieski]

Indeed

[Gucci Piggy]

Was it in Manc? If so I hope I walloped you in the face.

[rawaudioinput]

I am talking about four or five years down the line; I'm sure if they ask to headline R&L next year FR would be more than happy to say yes. Although, the same would have been true for KoL or The Killers five years ago, however due to some poor releases and over-saturation of the market that's no longer the case; I don't think it's out of the question for Muse to suffer the same fate

[tyranicide]

No we were at Newport

[Gucci Piggy]

Ah fair enough. I don't actually want to wallop you in the face, I dunno why I said it.

And yeah I agree with RAI on Muse. I definitely think they'd be booked for 2016 if they wanna play, but can see them not being wanted in 5/6 years like he says.

What happened to muse's new album being back to rock anyway? Dead Inside kicking it off really?

[JSmurphy]

I think Dead Inside has been given a tough ride so far. Much preferred Psycho but Dead Inside isn't the worst thing they've ever done.

[dentalplan]

Dead Inside was made intentionally to make Psycho seem not shit.

Dead Inside would have fit perfectly on the atrocious law. Psycho is a song on a riff they made basically 20 years ago with some awful dialogue put it seemingly just to make it worse.

Needless to say expectations of this album are bleak and that's a shame given all this "back to origin era" talk.

[Gucci Piggy]

Aye but Psycho would have fit perfectly on The Resistance.

I think I just about agree to all of that.

Well no, but it runs Guilding Light and NSE pretty damn close.

[JSmurphy]

Well no, but it runs Guilding Light and NSE pretty damn close.

I don't mind Guiding Light, my least favourite is probably The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

[oneoftherest]

Who would be your least favourite potential headliner for 2016?

[dentalplan]

Blink-182

[oneoftherest]

Guns n Roses would be mine, not that they'd get booked

[#FreeComTruise]

I'd say some dirge like The Killers but at least we can count on V to snap them up.

[mrtourette]

if they won't get booked then how can they be a potential headliner?

[ClemFandango97]

Imagine Dragons

Foals

Muse

Florence + the machine

Would be my guess now, but something tells me they won't have three bands with no new material in 2016.. Maybe substitute Florence for someone that's releasing an album in 2016
