Just for the reaction in here if, after months of speculating, it's total shit. Like 2018! When we got Kings of Leon 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant, surely winning a prize to meet ‘one of the acts’ is a bit shit and would be better knowing who it is (assuming it isn’t Liam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Anyone else think Wireless seems extremely weak compared to last year? Will sellout anyway to be fair but its a big step down I think? Not really my music just how it appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got Kings of Leon 😭 That 48 hours on here when Dan said that two of the headliners were Kings of Leon and Fall Out Boy were amazing. We covered nearly all the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, bargaining. Announce #1 of 2014 was pretty bad: blink-182, Jake Bugg, Disclosure, Metronomy, Of Mice & Men, Wilkinson, I Am Legion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzy Afro Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 I’m thinking it’s Travis Scott LG Blink/BMTH (Not sure if it’ll be a co-headline though, Blink subbed by BMTH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shifted a metric tonne of CDs, especially in the mid-2000s. Even if they tapered off slightly due to going on hiatus for six-seven years, they're still draw large enough crowds to fill most arenas across America/Europe. Aside from the fact they don't suit R&L at all the only UK festivals they've headlined are boomtown and bestival which are hardly R&L size. (Before you say Glastonbury this doesn't count as they were drafted in fairly last minute to replace U2). Selling tickets to your own show is very different to headlining a festival. Gorillaz are the type of band people would pay to see at their own show but their fans wouldn't pay for a day ticket at R&L which is a younger audience. Gorillaz would be a leftfield booking that would likely go down alot better somewhere like APE or Latitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I TOLD YOU ALL! I have a friend in media who told me the info I had. We ain’t getting an announcement tomorrow if there’s no announcement about the announcement. They ain’t gonna drop names without warning anyone coz half the goers would just miss it. If they announce that there will be an announcement Monday tomorrow, it’s gives them a whole weekend for the word to spread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Gorillaz have a crossover appeal with the young team, so arguing that they'd be unpopular with the R&L crowd is kind of moot. They also had Eminem in 2016, so having a pop-rap act is hardly novel for the festival. Also, in fairness, Gorillaz only tour when they release new material, it makes sense that a very sporadic release cycle wouldn't align well with major festivals. Though they fact they're releasing new material this week and for presumably the next dozen or so after, would suggest that they're likely active again, given they've toured every other release.

DDave Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 2 hours ago, So Sad Simon said: Last year R&L shared all four of its headliners with Sziget festival in Budapest. In last five years Sziget has never announced later than January (and usually much earlier). They have not yet announced for 2020. There is a reason both R&L and Sziget have not announced yet. And that reason is a big name announcement. Expect something over the next 10 to 14 days. It's coming........and it certainly isn't BMTH! Only a small number of acts in the world can have such control over their announcements. Eminem or Metallica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly at this point I think they're a 5th or 6th down at best. They've been rebuilding their image since the issues with their label and they've not put out album number 3 yet. Once that's out it'll be easier to see where they would play. But given they seem like they're trying to shed the image of being plainer-than-plain indie, Im not sure I see them reaching the heights they were bound for before, at least not for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
