Neil said about there being some recent The 1975 info that came to him, and they've gone up as 'R', so maybe it's their emergence as a candidate?

Fair point. I still think Reading makes more sense for them (1975) at this stage but we'll see.

How many celebs aren't tax dodging or living in exile to be fair?

There's a @russycarps Adele rant opportunity here somewhere

 He'll have his database of celebs failing in their tax liabilities, and a seperate one for criminal misdemeanours. Everyone's a c##t in russyworld, bar Nick Cave I believe.

Where is russycarps anyway, been quiet?

I would imagine he's currently occupied blowing a gasket over this morning's Daily Mirror front page.

Health and Safety - It has been researched and apparently there would a stampeed to the bars and portaloos when AM play anything off the new album.

Have AM gone down from SR to R?..

yep.

I feel less comfortable with it in light of some other info that came my way (nothing major, nothing concrete, just suggestive).

They're certainly not out of the running, but today I just don't sure-enough that they're likely to be doing it.

exactly that.

If what was said about 1975 - nothing certain - happens to all be true, then it seems unlikely to me that AMs can be doing it too.

I feel the 1975 info is good enough to stick them in as a rumour, and that makes me feel I can no longer justify AMs as a strong rumour (cos they only-just made SR anyway).

This rumour for 1975 to headline? not my cup of tea but looking at how their UK tour sold they obviously have the popularity

nothing specified, tho I'm presuming it would be.

[ivan]

The 1975 would be a win/ win.

Keep those happy that moan about the same headliners and needingnew blood so to speak , but not totally risking it considering how popular they are.

[Mash011]

Neil the absolute fuckin boy. He knows. Knock The Cure back down next too. 

[1986]

Did the !975 play last year or was their last appearance when I saw them in 2016 in an early evening Other slot?

Quite a jump if they go from that to headliner.

2016, it's not that big of a jump over 3 years. Bearing in mind the other commonly touted new headliner Stormzy was playing in Silver Hayes that year! 

[Odessa]

Also I think the general consensus was The 1975 were getting lower slots than they deserved all over the place due to the fact they were playing pretty much all the major festivals. If they'd only done one or two they'd probably have been bumped up a fair bit.

I don't even think it was just that, I'm sure Neil mentioned a while ago that they chose to play slightly lower down themselves at Glastonbury but I might be remembering things wrong.

[Hugh Jass]

Despite thinking that they're absolute toss I do feel the 1975 would be a better booking than either Arctic Monkeys or The Cure.

Fair. I don't doubt how embiggened they have become since then, I just thought it was note worthy.

Funny Chvrches were the band after them and no one is mentioning them in the same conversation any more when three years ago they probably thought they would be.

[Odessa]

Yeah pretty sure The 1975 were bigger than Chvrches even at that time, it was a weird slot.

That rings a bell actually. Either way, they were defo bigger than that slot.

[bigcharlie65]

How quickly have tickets sold out in recent years??

The 1975 are definitely a cromulent shout for headliner
