For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

Yeah I'm going struggle to pull off that jeans/suit jacket and t-shirt combo 

That was pretty much the uniform of the early 00's.

Longish hair, t-shirt, suit jacket, jeans, Converse.

I'm a married father hurtling towards middle age these days, that ain't happening.

If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure,  I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners. :lol:

All good for us chumps in club resale though I guess

I'm slightly inclined to agree

Says on the eFests report that LDR is an exclusive, so I guess she's out of the running.

Tbf I thought with that booking LDR may be exclusive as she's only borderline big enough to headline it.

CG won't be subbing Saturday.

My suggestion wasn't knocked down.

After reading "If we end up with Stormzy, The Strokes and The Cure, I honestly think it could be argued that IOW has a better set of headliners" I went on isleofwightfestival.com. I really expected to find bigger names than Noel Gallagher, George Ezra and what might be the worst band of all time in Biffy Clyro.

That this can compete with anything is just crazy talk.

After months of discussion in here I would almost say this looks like six co-heads :P Almost.

Potentially even all bigger crowds for the 'subs'. Not sure about CG though, or about him even being there. At least more interesting than Noel.

LDR was one of the main reasons my gf agreed to go this year. If the bad news keep coming I guess we might be returning tickets after all... 

Always baffled by those who want to return tickets because of a name or 2 (or lack of) on a lineup. Sure there will be plenty who would love those tickets to go back in the pot

I am sure there will be plenty of acts for me but it may not be the case for her, who just likes a few bands and singers. Anyway there is still time.

IOW line-up is rubbish. It always is. It's to be expected.

I honestly think this years Glasto headliners are just as bad. Imagine if IOW announced Stormzy, The Cure and The Strokes  for their 2019 headliners lol

It's only cos it's Glastonbury they will get away with it. And that's fair enough.

are there any festivals on the first weekend of July that The Strokes could be announced to headline?

because they're hardly going to haul themselves to Europe to play Glastonbury, then sit around for 2 weeks doing nothing until their Spain gigs (and then France the following weekend)...

Sure there will be

JC + The Voidz came to Europe for one festival last summer, and I’m sure they weren’t being paid as much as The Strokes would be either.

Loads of major bands just fly in and out, particularly ones - like The Strokes - where they have nothing to promote and no need to try and fill all the gaps with anything they can get.

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
