luckysalt Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Really dodgy by Slam Dunk the headline situation here, it should have been clear from day one. Leaves a nasty taste in the mouth that, im still uncertain if im going this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanothername Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 (edited) Yeah that co headline thing is bollocks. Really scummy of them to do that but I can't say I'm surprised. I'm not going and if I was I'd probably be seeing Every Time I Die (or maybe JEW) but I'd have pissed if I was sold on the promise seeing both headliners. Also if I was going this would probably be my day Knuckle Puck - > Four Year Strong - > Say Anything - > Counterparts - > Trash Boat - > Me Vs Hero/Taking Back Sunday - > Every Time I Die Oh and for next year, can the token reunion band be City Lights. I would love that Edited April 17, 2018 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Really tempted to go to this, I’m not crazy about any of the headliners to be honest (I guess good charlotte have a few good songs from a nostalgic point of view) but a few of my favourite bands atm are there, Moose Blood, Twin Atlantic and Lower Than Atlantis.

But if they never actually confirmed a co-headline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary1979666 Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I know there's the understanding that coheadline is that bands are top of the bill, but could also mean that both are actually headlining and that the two stages are given equal status. The way L/R have had coheadliners never really made much sense to me, as one of them was always a sub. There's been worse 'lies' told about bands - I remember when a UK exclusive became an English exclusive and even that wasn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst true that it can mean different stages it's just the fact this is the first time I've ever heard them use that specific phrase for Headliners on separate stages. What's next, Quad Headliners?! Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Punk Sucks Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nah its utter bullshit if they do it. Call a spade a spade. Doesn't make any sense as it's a multiple day festival so it isnt like you couldnt just alternate them headlining each day. Give 2 days to the band who are being more arsey about it.

Stuielooie Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I guess they could end one stage before another, have a big gap between PVRIS and GC to allow people to go to JEW and then after JEW finish GC start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the agreement with both bands is that they both wanted to headline and be named headliners or neither would sign a deal as the main stage and 2nd stage looks more like 2 main stages than it has in previous years. Usually there is like a heavier or more pop punk 2nd stage with smaller bands but the bands seem to be of similar sizes this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I think they booked JEW as headliners then booked Good Charlotte later on and decided to go for the co headliners option without thinking it through properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 I mean.. technically they are both headlining so although it’s sneaky it’s not exactly false advertising, it’s like when reading and Leeds advertise “co-headliners” when one band headlines both sites, nothing anywhere actually says co-headliners don’t have to clash, I reckon the two big stages is just to try and flog the mega tickets.

Dont see how they do that with the amount of bands on the stages. If one stage had one less band could have done that but dont think they can with 8 bands on each.

Stuielooie Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Well there is room for them to do that with 8 bands on the stages, if bands start at 1pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that's not possible though, I know in Birmingham all of the stages will have max capacity, not sure about other venues - there is no way you can get the whole crowd seeing one band at once.

Vik Vinegar Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 According to new maps, the jager (MAIN) stage is in Leeds arena this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Of course they put the two main stages as far away from each other as they could be. What a dumb idea. Proper made themselves look like dicks this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik Vinegar Posted April 20, 2018 Report Share Posted April 20, 2018 It was bad enough getting into the arena last year when it was just the SKA stage. Gonna be a nightmare this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a nightmare this year. For Leeds right? That queue was absolutely insane. I'd head down well before an hour for whoever you want to see on main stage. I had to sneak into the disabled access with a friend (who does have a disability), would have missed out seeing a lot of bands otherwise.

Yes, normally a couple of weeks before, so the clashfinders will all be updated in advance. Normally get a handout on the day as well with the times - a nice touch as most festivals charge for that.

Cheers, other than the obvious screw-ups on clashes with headliners it seems like a pretty well run festival and good value as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we will have them by Friday earliest seeing as we haven't got it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somethingpersonal Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I’ve got a question for Midlands goers. Do you think I’ll be okay getting in for Creeper on main stage if I see Can’t Swim before? I’ve only ever been to south and I’m so used to it being outside.

It's a close one as they are 2 and 3 on their stages. However some of the smaller stages normally start bands earlier so there might be a window for you to get to main. It's a good 5-6 minute walk from the Car Park (Signature Stage) to the main stage however. Probably just to wait for times but you should be able to catch both, just wouldn't expect being at the front for Creeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
