Future headliners

[Tommy101]

I think if anyone needed proof that Foals are capable of headlining then tonight at Reading should do the job. Looked brilliant

[Tr234]

I still think they should've gave the Friday night slot to them instead of Muse

[nikkic]

Agreed. Almost guaranteed now I'd say. Certainly would have been good to see the festival give a band a leg up to headliner status. Guessing R and L got in there early.

I reckon they did a fine job at Glastonbury but they looked even better in full darkness, I also feel they should have got the shout this year, rather than muse.

Yep only a matter of time now. Think the sub spot was right for them this year but 100% deserve to headline off their next album

Foals were incredible at Leeds last night. Biblical rain at times during their set only added to the band playing even harder, best I've ever seen them. Yannis was proper taken back by us in the pit still having it hard despite the weather and joined us on two occasions, they loved it as much as we did. 

They have to headline on the next album, if your not a believer just watch them at reading, turn the energy up a notch, add shit loads of rain, and that was them at Leeds

My mum's verdict on Foals at Reading: "That singer loves himself a bit too much, doesn't he?"

[swede]

Nothing self indulgent about that man, your mums talking rubbish I'm afraid. 

He loved the fact we was having it in the rain, paid a lot of respect to the fact by spending much more time talking to us then the crowd at reading, hardly the acts of a guy who loves himself too much 

9th time at Leeds and it was the best set I've ever seen there

Haha, nothing defensive about it, but people should be told when they are talking shite, even if it is someone's mum, who I suspect is lovely but doesn't seem to judge front men very well

HE DOESNT LOVE HIMSELF! HE HATES HIMSELF!

SHUT YOUR MOUTH MUM! YANNIS UNDERSTANDS ME MORE THAN YOU EVER WILL!

Personally I admire WLeach's Mum's discerning requirements in what she likes in a (front)man. 

Although:

"Winslow, love, you're not going out dressed like that are you? That cardie screams wannabe post-hipster-post-modernist satire and I'm not feel in' it, Petal"

Been very interesting watching the reading coverage. I'd like to see Imagine Dragons get a sub slot next year with their new album. After Biffy's slot this evening the Pyramid argument can come back around once again. 

[reflekting]

Give Biffy the gig Emily! 

[rawrsomesauce]

Agreed - for the love of god get Biffy to headline!

[RossTC]

Biffy are defo in the right place to headline now. 

[dentalplan]

They were bigger last time they played. If Glastonbury didn't think they could do it a couple of years ago then they certainly won't now.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was it Mrs Leach that said 'And a good thing too, for it seems we have dodged a horrific bullet, one that would swipe Kasabian's crown as the worst booking so far this century'?

 

Strong words from Maw Winslow

[Spindles]

I am surprised to hear that it would be considered that Kasabian were the worst booking this century.  A century, I might remind you, where Rod Stewart has headlined.  While I appreciate that Kasabian aren't for everyone and indeed am concerned a little that they are for anyone, there is no excusing nor denying Rod Stewart.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

As Mrs Winslow often points out, Rod may have phoned in an MOR cheesefest of a show, but given the presence in his back catalogue of more than a couple of bangers, he's still a better bet on paper than Gollum and Strider.

[Winslow Leach]

Another highlight from her running commentary of the televised Foals set:

"Do they know the damage they're doing to themselves wearing those tight jeans? It'll lower their sperm count."

Oh go on then 

"should Biffy Clyro headline Glastonbury?" 

"No. No they shouldn't" 

"Right o.  Same time next year?" 

"If they're lucky"

Still bigger than Arcade Fire when they headlined. Glastonbury can pick one on merit every now and again. Biffy deserve their shot.
