mjsell Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Of course people younger than 25 know Will Smith's biggest songs - what a ludicrous suggestion. Willenium is a bonafide pg rap album classic. Good old Willard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly the band have supported Foos a bunch of times on different continents and Dave is pals with Ricky and maybe the other nameless Kaiser Chiefs. It doesn't make a right lot of sense as a booking but it's not outlandish to think this might happen as a result of Glasto doing their delegation of sub choices to bands thing - and I guess they could be seen as bigger than Beck or Weller or Primal Scream are nowadays. Still hella shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Kaiser Chiefs subbing Foo Fighters does sound very realistic so wouldn't be surprising at all. EDIT: Let's not forget they'd be doing it off the back of an arena tour. They seem to be having something of a resurgence.

DropBeat Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Interesting. Maybe they get a shorter sub slot so Foos can still do an extra long headline set on the Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomViolence Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Despite their apparent resurgence, I definitely can't see this happening. 3rd down at a push. Maybe opening the Other is a good omen for the future of bands. The Charlatans to headline in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_C Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Kaiser Chiefs subbing the Pyramid in 2017? What a depressing thought if true. It really defies belief how they have gained popularity just from Ricky Wilson being on a karaoke TV show. Nobody gave a shit about them anymore, about 5 years ago. Would be a seriously depressing booking in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingbadger Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Surely he just means playing on the same day, so in essence 'supporting' Foos. With the whole fitting in 2 years of music into 1 narrative I can't see this being true. Neither do I believe all bands get to pick their own subs. Maybe the odd one or two, but I highly doubt Foos chose Flo and the lads themselves as sub in 2015, so I'm not sure why they'd get the choice now.

SwedgeAntilles Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Thinking about this on the walk into work and it is annoying plausible given the Weller and Beck sub bookings of the last two years. Would be a right shitshow if they took up a space given how many strong potential subs are around and touring this year. Every day I love them less and less.

FloorFiller Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) My immediate reaction was 'bullshit' but the more I think about it the more it unfortunately seems plausible. Still don't think it's gonna happen, mind - given the potential for those sub slots Glastonbury will've dropped a massive bollock if Kaisers are the one they've ended up with, and I think it's far more likely that they'll end up lower down the bill. Even third seems far too high for them in 2017 despite them somehow doing an arena tour (if I remember correctly their new album did kind of shite and was a hilarious attempt to branch out in to a more pop market) Edited January 12, 2017 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjsell Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 For fuck sake. They are prime Sunday brigade material though nowadays aren't they. But surely 3rd down - after Ross. with a half decent sub. Oh well, by the looks of who might be available for the smaller stages its more than likely I wouldnt have been hanging around at the pyramid anyway.
