I saw an interview with a R+L booker where he mentioned specifically that Post Malone was booked before he really blew up.

I think that by the time he was announced, he probably could have been sub/third; by the time of the festival he could have headlined.

You remeber where you found it I’d like to give it a watch ?

Unlikely without a new album, did it in 2017.

Jack white a possible NME headliner? Think he’s about the right size at the moment

Nah, even if his crowd would fit in there he won't be taking slots that low. He was headlining major European festivals last year and his last UK festival slot was subbing Glasto in 2014 - he hasn't gotten any smaller since then. Sub if he plays, but I highly doubt he will.

Didn’t realise he’d played that high at glasto yeah he’s probably way too big for nme then

Looks good JJ! 

Wrong though because no Bastille 

[dum surfer]

If FR want a more diverse lineup in terms of more female artists, Kali Uchis would be a great booking 

[Andre91]

The Hunna had a show at Ally Pally but cancelled it so they’ve now rescheduled it to Brixton Academy which is half the size

@Andre (Cant quote on this device). Their label/old label "High Time" booked all these venues and shows (3 nights at a few venues too). I have a feeling it was against The Hunnas decision, as its come out that the label has been booking these shows they obviously cannot sell out and milking UK tours out of the band for money. It also turns out that Coasts who are on the same label have also run off with all the money for the 'Farewell tour' and the band have had to finance everything for the tour now themselves without the booking money. Not sticking up for The Hunna, but I found it super weird they had 3 UK tours within a year, looks like someone is trying to milk them for every penny they can make on these tours. I knew it was ridiculous that they had an Ally Pally night planned

They made a few really good foreshadowed bookings for this year on the hip hop side.

By the time the festival came round you had Post Malone, Lil Pump and BROCKHAMPTON all in slots that were way too low for them. BROCKHAMPTON at 3pm in the NME?!

Even the Travis Scott booking. When he was first announced as co-headline there were a few confused faces but by the time we got to August he was huge off the back of Astroworld.

[Andre91]

Travis Scott was never announced as a co-headliner.

possible Lil wayne subbing is new album is pretty fine 

Is he not apparently banned from the UK due to his conviction?

I was about to post about this, shows @TheWaters what you said about it being half full was true. They were really getting milked by Hightime and the amount of emails you got from them was absurd, like every other day basically. I'm seeing Coasts at the final show next Friday by the way - I ab subscribed to them not Hunna

I know that they were playing big venues at reduced caps but saying they were sold out to try and build hype. Eg the Brixton gigs were around 60% of full capacity 

The january ones? I am pretty sure the floor was pretty full, probably not upstairs - remember the crowd would be pretty close together too for a band like The Hunna.

Twenty One Pilots, The 1975, Foo Fighters are the names being thrown around at the moment

[TheWaters]

Yeah there's definitely something there with High Time messing about their artists. Completely agree it seems like they were milking The Hunna for whatever they could get. I saw Coasts post on Instagram about them being refused any of the money for the shows and they almost had to cancel. Guess it was the label thinking as they won't be making anymore money off them afterwards why should they let them have this now when they could be greedy and keep it for themselves.

 

Can we stop predicting Hunna so high up line-ups now lmao.

I think the third down predictions were definitely too high, but fourth or fifth down would probably still be a good fit. I'm really interested to see how they change in the next few years, I guess we'll see what they can do without a very toxic label trying to control their careers.
