Seems unlikely that they would only play one US festival next summer, a few US dates in May before a jaunt around the European summer fests is hardly inconceivable. I'm not saying they'll play, but they have to be considered. One-off payday not far from home. Happens quite often really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shall see, personally I think they're in with a shout. Interesting for an act that feel like they're over here every summer it'll be 12 years since they last headlined.

I'd say this thread has convinced me that Interpol are headlining Glastonbury 2019. On the Sunday for the locals, obviously. I mean I'm not sure i agree that New Jersey is the same as New York, although the New Jersey people like to they're New Yorkers, i also prefer Born to Run to Greetings from Asbury Park. But it's great that you're convinved that Bruce and the E Street Band are headlining this year now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the worst headliner i ever saw at Reading (2011-15). (I was on about Interpol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga's last tour grossed $94 mill over 49 shows with a bunch of cancelled tour dates Perry's last tour grossed $28 mill over 119 shows EDIT: Admittedly these are global figures so may not be the best guidline but Edited January 16, 2019 by Mattymooz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That aside I don't think a single tour's revenue is indicative of one act being bigger than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I think it’ll happen, especially without a new album until 2020. Any lineup with two Joe Dirt stars on it gets a thumbs up from me.

brettredmayne Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I can't believe we are actually talking about the strokes as a headliner, what are the recent album sales like as I honestly can't tell you a song after the 2nd album. I saw then at Leeds and was bored and lucky for us we got pulp after who were great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
