Because there are some grime acts that i played last year that i would really like to see this year smaller acts often play two years in a row, but the biggest acts on the bill never do.

Obviously they won't play this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFD Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 5 hours ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: I guess they could start doing something similar to The Pit / Lock Up that somewhat differentiates between genres on the Dance stage Always think the FR stage could do with something like that, it is such a mix of genres that you will often see a complete changeover of the audience between acts, it's not the sort of stage you would stick with for a run of acts unlike say the Pit. Though maybe it suits them that way, then they can stick a range of acts on without worrying too much about scheduling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if they did trnsmt and BST would they wait till 2019 to do r+l and have those 2 as their comeback UK gigs, leaving foos to headline this year ? Fleetwood Mac.

Thing is arctics have mad cool /nos alive 13th right.....and bst headliner tba is 15th and looks like the announcement will happen next week Edited January 11, 2018 by R Shah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from Bloc Party (who also headlined NME 2 years prior to the run of slots we already mentioned), they also had Frank Turner play 10 years running, and Enter Shikari (between 2007-2012 they only missed one year) and Crystal Castles (played every year from 2007-2012) there almost every year for a while.

I just think it would be perfect to end the summer comeback european festivals run at Hyde park . Obviously they could still do reading too, But I think 2019 more likely if Hyde park and trnsmt is announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes much later than that. Besides, Arctic Monkeys have sold out huge outdoor London shows in minutes and could have a crack at Wembley now so it’d be unlikely they’d agree to do some other event like BST.

I really hope they don’t do BST!! Worst festival I’ve ever been too! I went to see the killers and I was the youngest person in the audience by about 40 years!!! Everyone was an old white middle class lady, just tap dancing to me bright side!!! And it was also soooo quiet couldn’t hear a thing, and a bit of a scam ngl, ya had to pay extra to get to the front half of the audience!!!

BST always leave biggest headliner to last , and name me a band bigger than the cure that have a more realistic chance than am of playing bst. Also bst competition to win tickets to the 5 currently announced shows ends this Friday meaning the headliner will be announced monday or Tuesday - bst headliners are always announced 8am Monday or Tuesday . This is a huge outdoor show- would make much more sense than Wembley if they're doing a run of festivals . I think they'll do these festivals, tour us September - December, tour rest of world early 2019 then stadium dates summer 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah for the bigger gigs they take away the extra money for standing tickets that are closer. They did for the cure and would do so again for arctics .
