Impressive from them doesn't that generally happen with most acts? especially the heavier ones - you don't want to have to go to a BMTH show and sit down. i think i'd rather just not go to a show like that than have to sit down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The academy tour didn't sell particularly quickly. The academy in Glasgow didn't sell out, nor did one of the academy shows in Birmingham.

jonodillieono Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've got a friend who doesn't listen to heavier music at all, pretty much judt dance, but at predrinks the other day he was asking for Throne to be played They're really crossing over into the mainstream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Fairplay to BMTH, it looks as though bar Birmingham that the tour except for some rear or very high seating is sold out. 4hours time, that's not too shabby to be fair.

Did they sub Daft Punk at Wireless 07? Wiki isn't clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if they aren't heading Download next year, Reading was only just gone so I doubt it there. I think they needed this tour to be able to do it though.

Festival Liam Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I am thinking (and praying) Th Weeknd is probably in contention for Other headliner too. He might be more sub level though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platt073 Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 6 hours ago, not worthy said: I didn't have an opinion on The 1975 before seeing them in William's Green for a Glastonbury Thursday evening slot. They were awful, walked away with the opinion that William's Green was about the max size venue for them only to discover they were going to be on the Pyramid over the weekend.......at that point I realised that it must be me who has no taste whatsoever and they must be fantastic I totally agree with you on this one deffinately not worthy of the Pyramid!

Likelylad87 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Any one think that Brand New could play. They haven't played in a while and I know they are probably more of a reading/Leeds band but they are still touring this year with Canada in early June and I for one would love to see them somewhere on the line up.

They could maybe play the death cab or dfa slot from last year, a couple from the top or subbing in JPT, but I consider it unlikely myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 @Mezhyp1 I'm also starting to think The Prodigy might not be a goer, they did do this latest arena tour and ally pally nights plus academys earlier. You have think think James Bay is a strong contender for a sub spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't think so yes, he's way bigger than all of them. The Weeknd essentially headlined Coachella last year, as despite being 2nd on the poster for Saturday, the promoters knew he was far more popular than Jack White who was supposedly the headliner, and put The Weeknd on after him on the main stage, and he drew a far bigger crowd.

That's in the states though, it doesn't mean he's the same size here. Sia is probably going sub at Coachella this year, wouldn't play close to that high here.

brettredmayne Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Phonix headlined coachella once though so shows how an act is massive in the states but hardly registers in the uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 no, but his album/singles performance is better than them here too. clearly bigger than Jamie T and Ben Howard. Mark Ronson is harder to gauge as Uptown Funk was huge, but the album did no better than BBTM, and The Weeknd had several hit singles, whereas only Uptown Funk did anything for Ronson, the other singles failed to chart. there is absolutely no chance that he subs Other.

I know nothing by James Bay, other than I walked by the pyramid last year when he was playing it was fucking busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
