Amazing.

I thought it was a class post too.

Considering how often his opinion is wrong, I think it's fair he can call others out when he actually finds something valid to call them out on.

This post made me want noodles.

Andrew WK needs to open the Main Stage.

[oneoftherest]

In all honesty Andrew WK on the relentless doing Party Hard on repeat would be cool

[dentalplan]

That'd be depressing as fuck.

[thewayiam]

Going to go for Foo Fighters and Blur as two at the minute.

 

I think Flo has a great chance but the tour at the end of this year makes me wonder whether they'll bother coming back to Europe late next year or do a couple of the early June one's next year. RAR/RIP and Pinkpop defo feasible along with IOW, who don't usually book acts for their bump up but did with The Black Keys this year. Flo also covering 4 festivals in Europe in August too plus Electric Picnic.

 

If those two were booked to headline, they can certainly get away with booking an act that just does arena dates. FOB, Disclosure and Imagine Dragons to sub, but I don't rule out ID taking a headline spot and Foals subbing instead. ID have sold out two nights at the 02 now at £44 a shot, can they really afford to put them and another £50 approx act on? They are dearer at that venue anyway than FATM is, not by much but still.

What is your beef with Foals headlining?

[DMCJ2]

And tickets are still available for Imagine Dragons at the 02, ranging from £27.50 - £35 not £44

[conroy17]

but I don't rule out ID taking a headline spot

Just no.

[DomDom1984]

They've sold a lot of the seating, and it looks in good nick, but certainly not all, or quite close either on night one. The two sides seem to have a load. Night two has done better and it's limited availability pretty much everywhere.

They're doing well in all of the venues where you can actually do the finding specific seats, but they haven't sold one out yet.

 

EDIT: I got tickets for the Hydro. Best available and they're way up in the nosebleeds.

Fuck sake WHY

[justanothername]

Fuck sake WHY

Because I'm edgy

[oneoftherest]

We all know European tests don't have much bearing on the UK ones but Foals are headlining some bigger ones in Europe with Kasabian and The Libertines

[DomDom1984]

Think they need an extra push. I can see 2017 being their year.

[dentalplan]

I don't see why it'd come in 2017 when the album's out in August. I'm assuming you mean they sub at some places next year and, at the end of their tour, headline R+L but I'm not sure it's ever worked like that.

[kingcrawler]

I think them subbing festivals next year would look weaker than say, Florence subbing Glastonbury this year in terms of being a future headliner. The album will have been out for almost a year by the time they come to do festivals next year so it will have had plenty of time to have an effect on their popularity. If they don't headline next year I'm not sure what would change to push them up to headliners the following year.

Like I've always said, I'm not going to predict or put a slot down for a band to headline without any reason to, which at this moment I clearly don't have. New album coming but no news on what venue's etc they are going to play. There is absolutely nothing at this moment to say they'll headline and I'm clearly not the only one who thinks that on here. Even a tour with some arenas won't guarantee it, there is clearly acts that have had to do more and wait longer. If they announced a full arena tour with a new album then they'd be in my thoughts but based on what they have then Jamie T could.

I'm actually thinking logically and I'd find something different if I went, others are thinking about it with their. 'I want Foals to headline head on'.

You know it's only the VERY high up seats at the O2 that still haven't sold out?, and I'm sure it's a along the same line for the MEN with their structure.

Did it not work like that with QOTSA?

[dentalplan]

They played Download three weeks after Like Clockwork was released which is why I can understand the feeling Flo could still headline stuff next year. Foals album would be out ten months before any festival they could play and would have had a lot of time to make an impact.

[the wonderwhy]

Talking of Foals, they've just announced intimate shows in Europe for the beginning of September, so I guess there will probably be some UK news for similar venues soonish.
