2019 Headliners

Cure did 3 nights in a row at Wembley Arena in 2016 so consecutive nights not likely to be an issue.  Don't think it rules them out for Saturday.

Weren't The Killers in Italy the night before their surprise JP slot last year?  

Fri - AM/1975?

Sat - Cure

Sun - Macca

...or someone else entirely!!!

The nights that bands play doesn't really make that much of a difference, i'd expect it just depends on when they are free but the sunday night headliner may come into Michael and Emily's thinking a bit more due to that being the day the locals come in. Macca would have seemed the obvious one to appease them rather than the cure but I suppose it depends on how much they prioritise that if at all (however they've had sheeran and coldplay on sundays recently)

To be fair, last time they headlined it was also a Sunday.

They would need to be Saturday, Macca having one day and a half after getting back if he played the Saturday I can't see. Thing is we've had some controversial Saturdays acts before and while there isn't a huge following like others for Saturday.....a lot I know similarly to Bruce in 09 wouldn't have gone near either. I think The Cure will get a tv audience though and they have well known songs. I also stand by Liam playing before them. The one is makes me question is Arctics now as 3 times round on the Friday would just be samey.

Likewise.

I'm starting to think Arctics aren't there, there is no chance surely Macca is doing is with a day and a half rest basically...unless he just isn't doing it?, The Cure can play Saturday fine...there have been options before that raised a stir far more than they will.

Why doesn’t his time on a top-of-the-range private jet constitute rest? Does he fly the plane himself, singing Hey Jude all the way?

If you judge it by 2013 Michael and Emily don't seem to like the locals all that much.

True but they were slightly big in 2013 (not that they warranted to headline IMO). Plus they probably thought that they had given them more than enough with Beyonce' at the last one

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
