alf13 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Any ideas for headliners/acts in general for next year? My guesses are Gorillaz and/or Catfish Tame Impala The Streets Stormzy or BBK Brockhampton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmcm1998 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Maybe Childish Gambino as a UK exclusive headliner sorta similar booking to Frank Ocean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19liam75 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Frank Ocean wasnt a UK exclusive as he played Lovebox around 3 weeks after Parklife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dukey Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Catfish and Gambino could be a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCG95 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I've got a feeling Courteeners may headline 2019. They headlined Neighbourhood this year and haven't announced a Manchester date for their Winter tour. Parklife have also opted for indie acts towards the top of the bill over the last couple of years with LG, The XX, The 1975 and Two Door.

Probably, being from Manchester they'll sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too big for Parklife - sold Heaton Park out in a morning a few years ago, even used Parklife's stage for it. edit: iirc Etihad is about the only thing left for them to headline so I'd expect it be that.

thewayiam Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 People are aware that it wasn't a Stone Roses size gig and the capacity used for the Heaton Park Courteeners gig was only 25k yea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that’s true, they did sell out 50k tickets for Old Trafford last year so I agree with dental that they’re maybe a bit big for Parklife now.

SJM own parklife and also promote and manage The courteeners. Anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is more than the daily capacity of Parklife. 1 hour ago, SCG95 said: LG headlined Parklife and sold out Old Trafford cricked ground in minutes this year too! Yeah but I think this summer he was taking any gig that came his way on his first proper summer of the album tour. There is no special reason like that for the Courteeners. And as the poster above mentions, the festival and the band have existed on the same books as one another for years so why now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Few sources when I've just googled it are saying 70k a day. Dunno for sure if that's accurate, but no way it's close to as low as 25k.

Still would think that the Courteeners are too big even with the highest capacity numbers quoted. And they wouldn’t have foregone their own Manchester gigs for a festival show either.

And the reason I would be tempted to rule it out, is stadium gigs have a big proportion of tickets as seats. It's one thing selling a load of general admission tickets at the cricket ground but Courteeners fans don't seem like they would buy many seats. I went to see them a few times when I was like 16-18, and I'd have never even considered buying a seated ticket at the arena, never mind up in the gods at City. I reckon a lot of their fans now would be the same. Pure speculation though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConorC Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Really interested as to who they could get to headline this next year. The size of headliners and acts in general have definitely taken a bit of a jump in the past 2-3 years. Childish Gambino is a good shout. Maybe Foals to return with their new album? Chance The Rapper? J.Cole? Edited November 13, 2018 by ConorC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted November 13, 2018 Report Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Probably Foals and The Chemical Brothers again Edited November 13, 2018 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badleg08 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Ian Brown surely? If he's not doing Neighbourhood, must be a banker for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of nights at Castlefield Bowl seems more likely than Parklife. Don't know if he's big enough with the youngsters to do something here. Catfish though, they were missing from Neighbourhood. Bit naff though. Tame Impala and Childish Gambino would be good, supposing they're about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
