Future Headliners

[foolee]

I know it was extreme circumstances but Arctic Monkeys went from playing Carling stage at Reading to headlining Glastonbury in 2 years

What ever happened to them. I thought they were quite good. Saw them at T.

Oh yes hard -fi they were a great band and it is shame they are not still going. I remembering seeing them at V in 2011 in the arena and I was blown away how good they were and one of my fave festival shows ever. Plus I thought 1975's are taking a break as they taken themselves off all types of social media, but could be a publicly stunt.

Yeah it was a publicity stunt. They reactivated the next day and announced a tour.

The Strokes went from 6th down NME to headliners in one year.

Mad ting.

I know this stuff. They both subbed or headlined on their first album whereas The 1975 subbed the NME Stage. Not comparable.

How about 4th from bottom NME to headline in 3 years? Royal Blood look like they might do it.

3rd down main stage to main stage headliner in two years has a better ring to it.

what the fuck is with people on this forum and comparing bands success to The Strokes or Arctic Monkeys

The 1975's presence in the discussion had no relevance to people mentioning Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes in response to dental's post. No one's comparing them.

[tyranicide]

Well as two of the biggest indie bands, they can be used to measure success against, though admittedly the music industry and scene has changed greatly in the past decade.

Only if you want to be unfair to the act you're comparing them to.

Sub would be where I'd put The 1975 next year, they'd get a very big crowd going on before Florence or someone.

Just a quick thought. Where do people reckon Frank Turner will peak?

The 1975 could probably do that yeah, how I've got no bloody idea but it's what the kids like.

I don't think Frank will play anything above sub, I'm even skeptical about him getting that slot.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

Without wanting to read back through pages, are people suggesting that The 1975 might headline Reading? I caught a couple of minutes of them on the BBC from Glastonbury - my lord they were easily one of the worst bands I think I have ever witnessed?

[dentalplan]

There is a long tradition of awful bands headlining Reading. But talk of them doing it in the near future is premature.

[Gucci Piggy]

I miss the days when people were predicting them for low Main Stage and I had no idea who the fuck they were.

They were like the PVRIS of 2013.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I like to think I can find redeeming features in bands, even if I dislike them, but The 1975 just shook me to my core.

[Gucci Piggy]

I still don't get the 1975 hate really. Just pretty naff and pretty catchy. They're not as inoffensive as shite like Catfish or BMTH or whatever the fuck JAN listens to that he doesn't get into via eFests.

[dentalplan]

Do you know what inoffensive means?

Also, this stunt they did has gone RIDICULOUSLY well if it has people formerly on the fence scrabbling for tickets and their former detractors saying 'they're alright actually'. Scouting For Girls should do the same.

Aye when they first deactivated and that loads of people were like "I don't like them but this is interesting/a good publicity stunt" etc, then a load of the same people seemed to end up getting tickets.

[Matt42]

The 1975 and Royal Blood will both headline if they continue as they are

I think the 1975 will headline first... something tells me album number 2 for Royal Blood may switch things up a bit more.

The 1975 are almost destined for a second album that madly exceeds the first in sales, but i've probably jinxed it now. Their audience is constantly growing.

Haven't people been saying there's still tickets for their academy sized tour (Smaller than their last one) left? I expected it to be gone in no time when I saw the venue sizes Edited June 5, 2015 by DGrant261

That's impressive. Also the same thing Matt42 did last week. Maybe that's where they got the idea.

What? My Bloody Valentine and Godspeed You! Black Emperor are great! Don't know what you're on about. Going crazy

The 1975 could go the way of Ed Sheeran...

Do their own big shows. Not sure about festivals, though I couldn't see Ed doing headlining slots of festivals, despite being popular in the masses. Equally part of me feels very wrong about that.
