The Ghost Of Eddie Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 1 minute ago, dylangraham said: By 2018 I think they'd be big enough coheadliners by R&L standards, providing their next album doesn't flop. Bear in mind both Foals & Tame Impala are Pyramid sub headliners at Glastonbury this year so I'd say they're pretty similar in size rn. However I take your point that R&L have pushed for Foals a lot more. Very true, however if they play next year they i can't see them headlining, they'd need to hold off another year then put out a successful album, definitely potential provided they do put out a strong album, however i'd hope after this year having two co-headlines we get a couple years without them doing it again. co-headliners just don't have the same impact an outright headliner does for me.

Yeah that's also a possibility - either way I think they'll be playing very high up on the main stage within the next few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know come 2018 someone like Catfish could be co-headlining, unlikely but if this album is a success and they release another that does well who knows...

They'd probably do Glastonbury before R+L so unless they've got it out in time for festival season next year i don't see it until 2019 and as Alex Turner is touring TLSP all summer it'd have to be rushed to get a new Arctics album out.

I don't think they'll do Glastonbury before R&L necessarily.. AM last headlined there in 2013 and Glastonbury tend to have bigger gaps than R&L between rebooking headliners. I wouldn't be surprised if they play R&L before Glastonbury again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know AM hadn't actually been released when they last headlined but it was part of the AM tour, so that would mean really they've only released one album since their last headline if they play in 2018. I'm not saying I don't think they'll play Glastonbury that year, I just think it's more likely they'll do R&L instead, or even T in the Park or Isle of Wight - there's a few festivals that would probably go for them before Glastonbury.

It's not certain when the fallow year is going to be, but right now it looks like it'll be 2019 and there's rumours they'll be holding another event at Longleat that year too.

addicted2noise Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 I think Tame Impala are more likely to headline Coachella in 2018 than Reading and Leeds. Also I think The Courteeners could maybe be an outside bet for a co-headline slot in 2018, not a massive fan but they've been drawing some huge crowds this year.

No reason why they couldn't do both but considering the lack of Tame Impala being booked recently for R&L I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Courteeners will never headline, they've never been huge and the fact they played 3rd top this year was generous, the festivals aren't in Manchester therefore they aren't going to headline.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 One of them is in Leeds, though. It's not that much of a stretch that they could co-headline and therefore close Leeds but essentially be a sub at Reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 The Courteeners certainly got bigger than i ever fathomed they would, but headlining a major fest seems like a huge push for them. there really isn't that much to them and their days of having big singles are over. reckon third is about as high as they'll ever get. there are far more other acts who currently seem better poised to take the step up than they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
