Lineup 2016

[dentalplan]

Ok. Anyway Slipknot just announced a short tour of the UK in February despite being on a break or whatever next year. Maybe they're not out of the picture for R+L after all. Although it being preceded two arena tours and Download might be overkill.

 

08 - CARDIFF Arena

09 - LONDON Alexandra Palace

12 - BIRMINGHAM Arena

13 - LEEDS Arena

I'd buy the Dragons as a sub.

[DomDom1984]

Brand New FAR too high.

Gravesham Riverside 2015

You seem to be implying that's a bad thing

The Foo Fighters tribute pulled out on the day, gutting

[oneoftherest]

Brand New FAR too high.

Definitely not, Brand New are hugeeee now

[justanothername]

Definitely not, Brand New are hugeeee now

They haven't grown much since 2013 where they played 5th. Also most people I know haven't even heard of them

[JSmurphy]

Hope Slipknot end up headlining, can't afford to fork out £45 for a ticket and £20 for trains in the same two weeks as Foals and Kerrang Tour. 

[Yellow_Fellow]

Yep, those sure are Hart Attack posters

They played my mates wedding. They're actually really good

[rawaudioinput]

I was actually more excited to see them than I was seeing Foos; it would have just been a greatest hits set without every song being extended by 20 minutes

[lightning1000]

Yeah, they play a lot from the first 3 albums

[truthpigeon]

Imagine Dragons headlining? You're fucking hilarious man.

[dentalplan]

It does seem weird, but their arena tour is selling about as well as most headliners could hope for.

[thewayiam]

I will pmsl if Imagine Dragons actually did headline.

Two o2 arena, Notts, Cardiff, Manchester and Newcastle all sold out standing at least.

[Hart Attack]

Imagine Dragons surely have to be considered bigger than Foals, and most people seem okay with the idea of Foals potentially headlining.

While Brand New aren't "hugeeee", they could definitely play 4th based on how their last few UK tours have flown out the door, all decently lengthed (probably not a word) academy tours too, rather than 1 or 2 dates here and there.

 

Most people I know haven't heard of them either, but most people I know probably haven't heard of acts like Foals either. 

[DomDom1984]

The last tour was diddy venues, no? And Glasgow's Academy was absolutely nowhere near sold out for their last show there.

I wouldn't, but it's very difficult to just definitively compare one band to another because of however many factors there are. I would definitely think with a Reading + Leeds crowd that Foals would be bigger and Melvin has tipped them to headline in future so they'd headline over Imagine Dragons.

Ally Pally was one of the venues, and I think it may have sold out or been close to a sell out too.

You won't get anywhere, I tried saying this ages ago and people's liking on here for Foals over them overshadows their views behind it. Imagine Dragons bigger UK Tour, Foals smaller UK tour and only Wembley Arena as apposed to two o2 dates.

Reading is the direct crowd for Imagine Dragons as well comfortably.

At Ally Pally touts were selling tickets outside for a fiver

I'll give £20 to WaterAid if Imagine Dragons headline next year, on the agreement that you do the same if Foals headline next year.

I think you have read my post wrong (no shock there). I didn't say Imagine Dragons to headline, I said if Foals can then Imagine Dragons can be considered as well, just like Hart Attack said.

As for the £20, there is no chance I will ever give anything towards Foals playing a headline show.

[Andre91]

Slipknot headlining R&L would be awesome.

The post you responded to saying "I tried saying this ages ago" was Hart Attack justifying his prediction of Imagine Dragons headlining so, whether you realise it or not, that is what you were saying.
