EamerRed Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well that's my plans out of the window. No Glasto and now this absolute poverty lineup. Seems like rather than capitalising and going for a great lineup, they're saving the dosh and increasing profit margins on what they consider to be easy ticket sales regardless of lineup. Useless.

Guest Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Genuinely wouldn't count on R&L being a predominantly rock orientated festival by the next few years if they continue like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Chvrches ever in there or was that a prediction on your behalf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footix2 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Jesus that's a diabolical lineup. It's bad when Dua Lipa is a major highlight at what was always an Indie/Rock festival. I'm not sure where they are trying to position this festival any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseboy11 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 The most recent Panic! At The Disco album is pretty good by all accounts, I'm not sure if they've had an increase in popularity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamJansson88 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Skepta isn’t even that big a pull to the grime Leeds audience because of parklife, which actually has a better lineup than Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBalloon Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 would it be wrong to suggest that they had foo's but then dropped them in favour for arctic monkeys, who then pulled out, resulting in the delay AND a trash line up.

I mean... it would make sense to have PATD and KL headlining two diff stages at the same time.....I really just can’t wrap my head around the idea of them coheadlining, especially not with PATD higher than king kenny Someone said earlier today that the 2 main stage thing was genuinely being considered at one point and that's why we'll see acts weirdly high up. Presumably Panic were gonna headline the 2nd main stage and when the idea fell through they had to keep them billed as co-headliners. 3 minutes ago, C14S said: Anyone else wanna kill themselves because they already bought a ticket and now there’s no Foos, no royal blood, no monkeys, no one vaguely interesting to watch beside Kendrick Why would you bother buying your ticket before the announcement when it wouldn't have sold out for months regardless?

Odessa Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 What I don't understand is all the people who have already bought a ticket. It prob saved like £5 on the current price and you have to put all that faith in a decent lineup. This is atrocious even compared to the shite from last year. They deserve about a hundred people to show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think wolf Alice would have been a headliner with that set up too I can't see an NME headliner on that Kendrick day so CHVRCHES could still be there I guess. Also Wolf Alice are subbing Latitude so I couldn't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign festivals just wiping the floor with the shite we are putting out this year. Most other European countries have 1-3 festivals sharing the big touring bands. The UK splits them over so many little festivals when Glastonbury doesn’t hoover them all up. It’s frustrating because it means either travelling abroad or going to several, over priced, weak UK ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
