What Went Down album preview, sounds really promising imo. 

Give it all, London Thunder and Lonely Hunter sound class. On top of the 3 we have already heard too. Cant wait for this.

So headlining a near 80k capacity festival doesn't mean anything then? Cool

 

 

The Libertines are headlining a near 80K, they shouldn't be as they just aren't quite there but they are. Foals on the other hand haven't and Bestival isn't even close to 80K, R&L is a MUCH bigger festival.

 

They headlined Parklife and Latitude festival too. 

 

Just saying.

 

I'm not sure how it justifies anything? Parklife is not even in the same league and Latitude doesn't touch anything to come into consideration.

If Leeds genuinely has only sold around 30k, then I wonder what the bands will think playing to such small crowds compared to other years, or even Reading the previous night? Imagine Metallica walking out to a crowd of 20k because 10k are watching Rebel Sound...

 

As long as they're still getting paid the same I doubt Metallica give a shit how many people they play to.

My point is they headlined alongside Snoop dog at Parklife and Outkast at Latitude. Whether you like them or not they are huge acts. Foals will be ready to headline Reading next year and I think it will happen.

You've just compared them in size to 2 acts who aren't big enough to headline r&l?

Edit- I think foals could headline as Melvin has been trying to push them for years, just saying it's a bad example used

I'm going to just leave this with lightning. I think you tied yourself up there yourself without any help.

Still though, Latitude and Bestival headliners are usually either acts that have been around, amassed large followings and a lot of respect in their genres or growing acts that are seen as on their way to headlining major festivals, not just any old middle card act so to say neither fest bears any relevance on future major festival headliners is just super-stupid.

They might and they might not. Coheadlining is circumstancial bc if a previous coheadliner said 'no thanks' would the festival have scrabbled around for any other act willing to coheadline or just gone along with three headliners? Fuck a coheadliner it's too early in the year for this shit.

    • belated thanks for this ended up going, was a good evening and a great venue with a cracking beer selection (give the festival a few tips on that). Never been in before despite reasonably local.       Main takeaways from the film (as someone who didnt go for much later). The festival has changes a lot since then apart from the Green Fields that looked the exact same.  Me and my mate both agreed that Shambala is today than Glastonbury.   Cool piece of merch aswell.
