Lattitude and Reading have never shared headliners before. For reasons said above in the sense that they are run by the same people and it would be a massive risk to have a shared headliner when you’ve got tickets to sell. Its weird that they’ve taken that risk - especially on someone who is playing plenty of other events additional to both Reading and Lattitude. Unless I’m so out of touch that Liam Gallagher is as big of a ticket seller as Ed Sheeran. He's doing trnsmt which is in a different country, heaton park which sold out in a few mins. Outwith that it's just these 2 atm I think. I get maybe it's unusual that acts from these two fests share a headliner but it doesn't seem like it was thrown together last minute. Doubt anyone is as big a ticket shifter as Ed but LG sold out his arena tour rapid for sure and his stock has been high for a couple years not and shows no signs of abating.

I think it makes the Reading slot look a touch weak now, very surprised Latitude have a Reading headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcharlie65 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Honestly there gonna need more than a Christmas wish to shift tickets over Christmas with only Liam Gallagher on the bill currently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlierc Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 It is something tbf - he played a lot of outdoor gigs in 2018, including Finsbury Park and a couple of festivals, so to carry on with a 2020 summer campaign of R&L, Latitude, TRNSMT and Manchester is a huge scale touring almost with a ticket equivalent of a stadium act, not including any further potential dates. Of course I know festivals will have other bands alongside them, but even so, its still the kind of mass tour I'd expect any Oasis reunion to potentially hit up.

rawaudioinput Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I think Liam Gallagher's appeal is so ubiquitous that FR believe that he will still be a draw for both events I also believe that the two events are marketed towards more separate demographics than previously; RnL is very focused on the 16 - 21 market, whereas Latitude appears to be veering slightly more towards Radio 2 than Radio 6 (Keane subbing your festival will do that, even if it is under The Chemical Brothers) LG is perfect for both camps; fun for all the family, unless you're his girlfriend, in which case look out for the grapple hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s highly doubtful that booking him for both would impact the tickets sales of either. I can’t see why it makes the RnL slot look weak when it’s clearly a sensible booking for both festivals, in their own right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time MCR headlined (2011) the day was nothing but hard rock/punk bands that catered to MCR fans. I can't really see your average MCR fan preferring a hip-hop artist sub compared to a similar band. Then again the people at Download enjoyed Die Antwoord under Slipknot.

Reading and Leeds changed from a rock festival to a primarily indie festival around 2016, with different genres scattered everywhere. IF My Chem play, it really wouldn't surprise me if someone like Cardi B subs. Oddly it would surprise me if a more suitable band subs My Chem.

Hart Attack Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Is Boy Better Know still a thing, and are they possible as a subheadliner? Not that I'm interested in them at all, just making a new fake poster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evanescence are more likely to be headlining the FR stage than subbing a headliner Put Lewis Capaldi as sub, bin Keiser chiefs and pulp and that is quite a realistic looking day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
