rivalschools.price Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 ‘IF’ the target audience is 14-18 year olds, does anyone know why that is? Surely trying to attract underage punters who are being away from home on their own for the first time, away with their mates for the first time as well as trying alcohol and drugs for the first time would be the last thing anyone would try to attract, especially as it is likely to sell out anyway?

What makes you think the kids are drinking and taking drugs for the first time? You make it sound like they are sweet innocent children leaving the house without their Mums for the first time.

However, my point still stands, why encourage underage punters who are more likely to create problems.

Who knows but at the end of the day it's the UK festival that has the most success outside of Glasto, just look at how many have folded in the last few years so you can't argue with the results. Perhaps staying the hip young fest means you don't have to worry about refilling the audience as it constantly attracts new people younglings to replace the ones you lose as they become parents, old or whatever.

Andre91 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 They’re not targeting 14 year olds because 14 year olds largely have zero income. They definitely target school leavers but they aren’t targeting Year 9s ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robillustrates Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) Wolf Alice are already confirmed for Glastonbury which I think makes Reading less likely next summer. I know Billie Ellish amongst others played both but Ellish was on the Other Stage and originally on Radio One before the upgrade. Wolf Alice are probably returning to the Pyramid Stage sub or third from top or headlining the Other Stage in my opinion which makes Reading less likely.

Acts play prominent slots at both Glastonbury and R&L all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yeah Foals subbed the Pyramid and then co-headlined Reading in 2016, as an example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don’t think any of those lineups @Andre91 suggested scream download any more than Foo Fighters/A Day To Remember/Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes/The Distillers/Enter Shikari did this year. I reckon a day like that with a combo of Stormzy/The Killers/Foals/The Strokes etc. Headlining the rest of the weekend would be perfectly acceptable. Yeah Tyler being the odd one out on that day but the rest i can see. But then on your thinking, Foo Fighters isn't something I can ever see on a Download lineup.

Goer190 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Courteeners new album in Jan. Pretty cert sub headliner as if there was any doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 I think Foos are genuinely too big for download. They will always have a stronger option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think next time they play they will co-headline, as weak as it may be. Can see them doing APE, TRSNMT, Boardies in 2020, arena tour in winter then finish the album cycle co-headlining R+L 2021.

Tom Connolly Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 if Courteeners are ever headlining Leeds they need to put Queen as the Radio 1 headliner to make up for the monstrosity on main stage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way are Foo Fighters too big for Download. Guns N Roses did it last year and AC/DC got their own stage. I do think that Foos at Download will inevitably happen in the next few years. When Muse headlined Download, they didn’t cater the day at all. It didn’t fit then whatsoever. And fuck the Courteeners. Stinkin’ band.

Properbigfan Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 Courteeners would be by far the weakest headliner that they have ever booked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeSket Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 8 hours ago, dum surfer said: No way Lewis Capaldi isn't playing high up on the main stage if he is booked next year. Slowthai could take that spot subbing the Radio 1 if he releases new material before then. Could see Jorja Smith moving up to around 3rd down on the main stage as well.

JSmurphy Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I really hope Slipknot do this. I notice that their shows at SSE Hydro, Motorpoint Arena and The O2 have already sold out. Given they were priced just shy of £70, a day ticket here would already be shaping up to be pretty decent value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be brilliant - a similar day to the Metallica '15 day would be superb So - Slipknot / Architects (similar bump to BMTH) / Wolf Alice / Don Broco / Neck Deep would be outstanding but is unlikely to happen ever.
