Late to the discussion about why did so many Britpop acts, post Britpop acts and early indie revival acts die off, but I think it is really interesting. When you look at some of the people you talked about who headlined or had prominent positions in the 2000's, but then never returned - Razorlight, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand - I think I have the answers. Razorlight imploded not long after their 2007 headline set, pretty much stopped touring a couple of years later when their drummer who wrote their hits left and then didn't release an album in 10 years. They have only properly started touring recently since they have their OG line-up back together. Bloc Party wrote a straight up banger first album and a great second album, but then decided that they wanted to do experimental stuff that I'd say doesn't work as well with R+L indie crowd compared to others they could book. To be fair they did 5 of 6 years between 2004 and 2009. During that time they headlined radio 1, were third down main and sub-headlined twice for The Killers and Radiohead. Franz Ferdinand I think are the interesting one, but I never really liked them so have never though about them, but my inclination is that they were never an 'indie' band that anyone I knew was ever invested in and wanted to see live. They felt to me like they clicked more with they younger teachers while I was in secondary school than with the people who liked indie a bit like someone such as The Coral or Elbow. -

ok, so billboard are saying that Linkin Park will reunite next year, with a female singer, and the article says explicitly about festivals potential 2025 headliners? -
We've been staying in the Future Inn, Bristol, for the last few years. Perfect spot with a secure car park that's part of the shopping centre next to it. Bristol is a cool city too, nice way to start the festival ✌️ -
Thanks for the tips. I have started to listen to some of the previous recommendations and so have started to listen to Manchester Orchestra and Cleopatrick. i can't belief that Spanish Love Songs had passed me by before, I am really starting to get in to them. I am really enjoying giving all these new bands to me a listen. -
