Bandit Tom Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm honestly baffled as to how Panic! Are co-headlining? The biggest venue they've headlined in this entire country is Alexandra Palace, it wouldn't be a stretch to say All Time Low are bigger than them.

Hawky Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I bet it sells well what with no Glasto and a few of the acts but it's going to attract some absolute cretins 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. APE aint too bad its just mid exams.

Dan Wilcox Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 7 minutes ago, chickenfire said: Also, have Panic! done much since 2011 to merit such a jump? They headlined Slam Dunk but that’s not exactly a sign of a Reading/Leeds headliner! Apparently, their last album (2016) was the 12th best-selling of the year, and the 2nd biggest "rock" album of the year. I think that's just in the US though. That record's already over 2 years old though and there doesn't seem to be anything new coming out either. Last UK tour was November 2016, selling out Cardiff's Motorpoint, Ally Pally and Manchester Apollo. Only 3 dates though. Headlined Slam Dunk last year.

losing44 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Such a shame seeing r&l go this way. - they don’t get strong/enough rock bands to compete with slam dunk or download. Don't get strong enough rap artists to compete with wireless and don’t get strong enough indie/rock bands to compete with Glastonbury usually. Just awful. Plus from someone who enjoys more the rock music, I hate that they try and throw in token rock bands to try and cover that genre but always pick the most unexciting ones.

Logan1996 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I just cant see how R&L thought out of KL KOL and FOB that Kendrick was the weakest headliner and needed a co headliner that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Trying to go through the lineup and guess stage splits but after 5 acts I already don't know who the fuck these acts are. Who are Mist and The Blaze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fest121 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 is there still the chance of 2 main stages and this being the headliners of one of them or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomenicoZappala Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I did the ambassador thing a few years ago and I still get texts about it. The wording of the text seems very very strange... ”...are only some of this year’s headliners!” Does this give any credit to the idea of 2 main stages? Could they be holding back another similarly big announcement as a surprise? Or have they genuinely just messed up the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsloth Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 anyone know why Panic! At The Disco have gone from playing 5th down main stage in 2015 to now headlining? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just left out PATD, so yes those three are "some" of the headliners and the other one is PATD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackarmy Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Jesus, don't think there's 5 artists on that lineup that I would be interested in seeing. But then again, I suppose I'm probably not R&L's target demographic. Will be interesting to see how it sells... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When that fell through they probably just kept em on the same day and moved them to co-headline on main with Kendrick instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
