Steve1000 Posted February 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, gfa said: It will obviously stop if its not profitable. You can really see its doing badly, Tramlines have sold 2/3 of tickets already and there are tons of day festivals happenning up there this year like Courteeners, Blossoms and Sounds of the City. New competition from Y Not growing majorly + Tramlines growth along with less people coming down from Newcastle due to this is Tomorrow + brexit etc too. The lineups are generally very southern focused especially this year, none of the headliners are particularly North specific, whereas 1975 are pretty Southern along with Post and 21p to a lesser extent. Reading also hasn't had much competition from festivals down South growing except like APE, but thats a completely different audience and Community which is only a day festival and its like 2 months earlier. Also V fest has gone now which has been a nice boost to Readings figure (and leeds too i guess equally) So 2 American acts and a band that are literally from the North are “pretty Southern”? This is fucking mental. Edited February 6, 2019 by Steve1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamieaslee Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Decent lineup for my most local festival in my opinion. Getting a lot of hate on Twitter, looks good with what else has been announced. Foals doing a few smaller fests to prep for Leeds following 2 new albums in 2020?

Elbow see a strange headliner when it is more of a younger crowd that Kendal, would of suited more to that crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Connolly Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 surely with Foals only headlining festivals that TDCC and Wolf Alice are headlining that rules them out for 2020 by themselves, a co headline would be cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully if they do it's with someone slightly better than Disclosure... 2 new albums might push them up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Stormzy headline it’d be strange to see 2/4 headliners as rappers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieaslee Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Denzel Curry in the Netherlands week before RnL, making him more likely to play if anyone's interested. Edit: just realised its a festival and there's quite a few playing from it already. Edited February 7, 2019 by jamieaslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but idk why they would have messed up Rockys booking but billed Cardi and Migos correctly. It would make a lot of sense as a booking tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
