This is the thing he's a massive celebrity yes, and as such this all adds to that - but rockstar?

Grohl is owning that currently I believe. Compete with his Throne

Ps. Cheers ghandi, old skool

DG specifically markets himself as the antithesis to the typical rockstar cliche, I don't get you.

Kanye has certainly been the biggest 'rockstar' for a while now, but of course that's far from being the best or most deserving of such a title. I reckon someone will overtake him in that regard pretty soon anyway, he's clearly losing his fire.

Homme too laid back to care, but he calls the shots for all those guys.

 

J-Ho gets fucked up in private with his desert pals. He could be 'the biggest rockstar' but he keeps it real and focuses on making music as much as possible with as many people as possible. Probably called quits on the rockstar lifestyle after getting charged for putting the guy from The Dwarves in hospital.

 

Jack White gets fucked up in private with his Nashville pals. He could be 'the biggest rockstar' but he keeps it real and focuses on making music as much as possible with as many people as possible. Probably called quits on the rockstar lifestyle after getting charged for putting the guy from The Von Bondies in hospital.

there are almost no boundaries left to be pushed. I can listen to music that's decades old where boundaries have been pushed much further. The Beach Boys pushed more boundaries than he's done 50 years ago. Alt-J are more unusual than him. Weather Report, Terry Riley, Wilco, Radiohead....

Alt-j are the most boring act I've had the misfortune to watch

If I seen an act and didn't enjoy it I probably wouldn't post maybe once max so I just find it weird that posters (tonyblair,TheNal etc) keep coming back this thread to say how much they hated it and how shit it was. We get it lads move on maybe post on something you do like yeno a bit of positivity for a change.

I personally had a great time . I was close to the front, thought the lights were brilliant and the only song missing was hey mama. Easily the best headliner this year in my eyes

every thread needs to hear both sides of the argument. It'd be shit if we were all just sat here sucking kanye's plums wouldnt it?

 

the stuff about him being a rockstar is laughable though. As is the chat about dave grohl being one. 

 

Someone like nick cave has more rock n roll charisma than all these knobheads put together.

.

yep totally agree but im not going to be on here posting everyday about how great it was whereas some post (nearly) everyday about shit it was.

Re biggest rockstar I wouldn't classify him as a rockstar but i haven't seen anyone suggest who is the biggest rockstar except for grohl who is likeable but boring.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
