Lineup 2016

[oneoftherest]

Yeah Kendrick and Macklemore subbing is okay, The Weeknd isn't even subbing wireless big, I think people would be pretty NAD at that booking too

[DomDom1984]

The Weeknd

 

I don't even know what type of music that is, let along what songs they do.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

He did that song to listen to whilst having sex for the fifty shades of grey porno. It was uncomfortable to listen to.

[thewayiam]

Oh you little shit

The weeknd is miles more popular and bigger than shikari though

 

This is the UK, not America.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned/discussed 

[dentalplan]

So my suggestion that I'm not sure I could see Slipknot headlining next year and it wasn't approved of, not necessarily by yourself wasn't a bad one?

As I said, Download 13 and 15 (should of been next year, it was too early). An arena your at the start of the year before that date as well. Another double billing major festival booking wasn't that likely.

[Gucci Piggy]

I doubt anyone disapproved of you not being sure Slipknot would headline.

They did mate lol, I said it a while ago and it was shot down and recently when talked about down voted. Don't get me wrong, my comment early this morning now wasn't meant to come across as anything major which maybe it did.

I should have replied generally and not on dentala comment so apologies for that.

[dentalplan]

Yeah fair enough. It's just they toured the last album for two years and then another three more years after regrouping so I didn't think it was all that easy to say they'd tour for a year then stop but seems that's what they'll do.

I get that, kind of why I thought it made sense just to the arena tour and when they announced that I think I was like surely they won't be booked again for Download as well. Not booking them would've had that whole, arena buzz for ages and having to wait until the following June to see them but instead people who shelled out £45+ in January also then shelled out 4/5 months later. Adds a bit to why I didn't think he'd done well overall on the lineup, that Friday was Main/2nd top were pure lazy bookings.

[JSmurphy]

Looks like Disturbed are coming back, never been a massive fan but I guess they could play next year? 

[Andre91]

I can't see Disturbed playing R&L, they're much more suited to Download.

If they are back, a shoe in for Download I'd imagine dude. Not played there since 2011 so it won't even really be a repetitive booking.

[Dead throne]

yeah more of a download type of band tbh

[dentalplan]

Thought I'd post this for all the fans that will be browsing the R+L boards.

He's got a piiiiineapple on 'is 'ead, he's got a pineapple on his head.

Just book Kanye. Throw him the biggest fee ever offered to a headliner. Whatever. Just get it done.

Sure just get in the habit of booking Glastonbury headliners the year after.

He was good last night because he knew he had to be, he phoned in 2 performances at Wireless last year and probably would at R&L because it won't be as big an occasion.

[Dead throne]

fuck that

[lightning1000]

It seemed like an absolute shambles to me last night.

[ClemFandango97]

If you like Kanye you would have enjoyed his set, if not then you wouldn't. He was definitely on form last night but if you don't like him you will never enjoy his live performances. I enjoy his stuff, particularly the early albums, like many others so it would be a great booking in my eyes.

[lightning1000]

I really like his first album,but a guy talking over an mp3 doesnt do it for me. He didnt even seem competent, he missed his cue at least 4 times and had to get the guy to press play again.

I agree it'd be better if they did it like disclosure, like have some people actually play the beats and loops

[JSmurphy]

If R&L give Kanye the biggest fee ever offered to a headliner I'll top myself
