rawrsomesauce Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm surprised people think the 1975 aren't big enough to headline Glastonbury even though they're one of the biggest, if not the biggest, band in the UK right now not to mention selling out arenas around Europe & the US. Their last UK tour sold out pretty much immediate including 2 nights at the O2 and with three number 1 albums, there's no way they aren't big enough.

Matt42 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I also think Notes (out February) is going to be their biggest album yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are just confusing facts with their own opinion on their music. It's not even a debate tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzfest Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 On 8/26/2019 at 5:50 PM, Rose-Colored Boy said: At the last gig of theirs I went to I had a hen party to our left, a family including a gram to our right, student-age people in front of us and burly blokes that would fit a Farage voting-stereotype behind us to our right. There’s literally no way of scientifically surveying the exact demographics they appeal to but it’s definitely never felt like a One Direction concert when I’ve seen them, like one person suggested upthread. As I wrote before, I can see their potential as Friday headliner material of Pyramid Stage next year (tad weak for Saturday and Sunday as the grand headliners, though, at this point) — their performance was captivating and the stage set was inventive at Glasgow Summer Sessions. But the demographic of the audience of the day was, unlike your observation at the gig you attended, almost if not entirely “One Direction crowd” — i.e. young girls around 70-80 percent. That was the impression I got on the train from Glasgow Central to Dumbreck St, walking en route to the park and all over the festival site. That may justify the reservation about their Glastonbury headlining status to some degree if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda think they've plateaued (at headline level, don't get me wrong) with this last album. Would be a bit surprised if they broke through onto another level with the next disc.

Mash011 Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I could definitely see tracks like How To Draw (Petrichor) and I Like America being the template for where the band's headed.

Hadn't heard that track but I've just listened on Spotify and I think it backs up what I was saying earlier in the thread about them being impossible to pigeon-hole. They're basically one of the biggest UK bands around right now and they're putting stuff on their albums that sounds like Aphex Twin. Not sure how anybody could call them boring. I think somebody on here said they thought they were "focus grouped" or something like that. Absolute madness, that person clearly isn't paying attention.

Gave it a listen and thought it was a load of toss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
