jump Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I would have thought if Foals were to headline they'd have the tour done earlier in the year so once it's finished they'd be clear for an announcement. If R&L did wait for their tour to finish then it'd be May which seems a bit late to announce a headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I find it semi-baffling that so many look at Foals as an obvious headline band for massive festivals like R&L and Glastonbury. They play venues that plenty of subs or even third down bands play. Co-headline, sure, but I don't think they're really big enough to headline outright. I wouldn't complain if they did headline outright because I like them and I've always had a great time every time I've seen them but they're not a 'massive' band who could only headline by any stretch.

I’m the same i love foals but I can’t get my head around the idea of them headlining outright, I also feel they’ve dropped off slightly since what went down their streaming numbers for the last album and new album tracks are pretty bad compared to WWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKOCF Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 Foals will never come back to sub. It’s headline or nothing now for them, and sadly, as a huge fan I can’t see them getting the call up to solo headline given the lukewarm reception to Part 1 (which is a shame because I thought the album was fantastic) I can’t help feeling that their style of indie arena rock is being phased out with acts like Yungblud and Sam Fender seemingly becoming the most popular staples of British rock.

I'm waiting to see the reception of part 2. But I think Sam Fender will be headlining in the next 5 years and maybe YUNGBLUD as he seems to be getting more mainstream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchestermusicreview Posted October 14, 2019 Report Share Posted October 14, 2019 I think Foals playing smaller venues is deliberate. They’re playing Cardiff Castle which is what the Killers and Paul Weller have all done. So don’t rule them out yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Catfish are one of the worst headliners I’ve ever seen at a festival (Citadel this year). So they’re both probably likely. 100% agreed with both statements. No clue why Catfish got to headline three festivals in london three years in a row Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon they'll close the amo cycle at R+L. Whether they're coheadlining, subbing someone like Slipknot or (somehow) headlining outright is the question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
