Very occasionally hearing a single makes it obvious they're not worth your time. Nah you just have to listen to them for comedy instead of musical quality. The sheer amount of bewildering awfulness makes them pretty enjoyable in a 'The Room' sort of way. The 2nd Law especially has more terrible decisions on it than any other album I've heard and is hilarious because of it, and Drones has this whole bizarre homoerotic thing going on.

eastynh Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Who do people think New Order would be up against? If the rumours of who is apparently playing are to be believed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting London and Manchester to go fairly quick as they are well populated cities. I think there would be more chance of them heading Other if it was a June tour but it's more likely to be used to get some hype for Download ahow I'd suspect.

theDandy Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Why is everybody so sure that Bring Me The Horizon will be headlining the Other Stage this year? Has it been confirmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulmuchmore Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yeah there's no slot for them on the Download bill unless they take Motorhead's place and whoever is sub that day is shifted down for them. All the hints so far suggest they'll be at Glasto. Don't like gigs going on sale this far in advance. Will wait to see if they're confirmed for Glastonbury first, that and I really don't like the O2 as a venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but if they are being lineup up for Download next year then they would at least want a tour of interest from people that have been who are buzzing from it and are like, they're playing Download we need tickets. I think it works for both ways. I had already mentioned tbh in reply before that Glasto only for TV coverage but I'm still not convinced it'll be headline. If it is then it is, not that bothered.

Has it been confirmed? They've hinted at playing a couple of times and it's the only festival remaining they could potentially be at. You'd think they'll definitely be somewhere in the UK this Summer. And Other headliner makes the most sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderlyle Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'd be amazed, and very disappointed, if BMTH get booked as Other Headliners. Notwithstanding that they'd draw a tiny crowd, they have also only ever sold a decent quantity of records by stopping playing what they actually like to play - and switching to some vapid, MOR, R1 playlist b/s.

ghostdancer1 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) and even then, they haven't had much commercial success, the singles from the new album haven't even broke the top 50. they'll sell their arenas well as there's plenty of 18 year old Kerrang/R&L kids to go, but I don't think there's remotely enough of an interested audience at Glastonbury to warrant an Other headliner slot. subbing is far more likely IMO. only way I see them headlining is if Glastonbury can't manage to get anyone else to do it.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 All the bitching & faux reasoning as to why BMTH shouldn't headline the Other Stage is hilarious. They're perfectly suited to it & I hope that they do, that's not to say I'm a fan but I can think of no genuine reason why they shouldn't.

dentalplan Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 The thing is, there might be an argument that they wouldn't play because they're unsuited and wouldn't draw a crowd and whatever, as is the case for many many bands. But why would they be decidedly unsuited so accept a lower slot, when they're hoping to make a leap up to the top of major festival bills on this album? Makes no sense.

That's right... anyone who disagrees with your view is 'faux reasoning'. or bitching. As I've said, the reason I think they shouldn't is because they aren't very popular for a Glastonbury crowd. I think the crowd would be tiny for the Other Stage Headliner... which isn't great for anyone. Its not a dig at them really - just can't see this happening.
