Never a sub again in a million years though. Think I'm the only one who felt he was big enough for that slot, between 2012 and 2014 he was massive. Blossoms aren’t past their best, a future headliner imo 18 minutes ago, Sam Y said: Let’s be honest we’ve probably got the vaccines on the Saturday and that’s not bad, someone to sing along too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he was poor in 2009 and should only be allowed near the festival if he's with the Roses, which the festival had a perfect opportunity to make happen in both 2016 and 2017 and they passed up both chances.

FR headline at best, and even that’s pushing it. Don’t think they’d book him at all nowadays, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current FR headliners are about the level of academy support acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ruled out completely, at victorious on the Friday. Although I do not think he will be there, looking forward to him at NBHD Weekender.

And Jake Bugg would be such an odd booking for R&L nowadays that I don’t think he’d necessarily get a slot reflective of his (diminishing) size.

There's probably been headliners with a less total? How does Stormzy compare to Roses in terms of popularity in both time frames? Interesting that grime seems to be what brit pop was in the 80s-90s to kids (and older, but generally) these days Personally, I love home made british music being at the top of our charts Edited February 26, 2020 by jamieaslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shared a live video of Nilufer Yanya. Either the people running the R+L account meant to post this from some other festival account and saw their error or they shared it forgetting they haven't announced her for this year's festival yet.

Interesting that grime seems to be what brit pop was in the 80s-90s to kids (and older, but generally) these days Personally, I love home made british music being at the top of our charts A lot of people cannot stand grime one bit. I don't imagine back then there were as many people who simply couldn't stand britpop. Britpop is also like blur v oasis and that, grime its like stormzy at headliner level and nobody else even close to his size really. Grime is still not the dominant culture of music either really its quite split at the moment. I guess britpop at that time would be better compared to pop around 2010-2015 where not a lot of new bands were coming through and hiphop/grime hadn't really emerged yet perhaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
