Where have you seen this? I can’t find anything and the recent consensus is that their album is finally coming late September.

How would people have felt if this years festival had happened and then the next set of headliners for 2021 were QOTSA, Disclosure and posty? Don’t think it’d be too bad considering with post most likely to have a new album out by then and also Queens

still underwhelming imo, don’t personally believe QOTSA or Disclosure have done enough since 2014 & 16 to bump themselves up to headlining outright

Post would be underwhelming and a boring booking it just cries out for the 16 year olds first festival who weren’t there 2 years before.. for people who have been to the festival 15 years in a row it’s a shitty booking

Would have been very happy with Queens, a band I've always wanted to see. I'm prepared to go on my own for the day to see them next year if need be. Post Malone, while I like him, I think it would have been a very boring booking, just with him having been there quite recently. Disclosure are an unknown to me though, so wouldn't have been thrilled with that booking.

I don't think it's any different to say if you went to see a band on a day gig and then went to see their own arena tour or whatever the next year which I'm sure plenty of us have done and quite possibly seen a very close to same set.

Yeah it wouldn’t be that tho, QOTSA and Disclosure are co headliners at best. Doubt they’d get Postie back as well. If 2020 went ahead I could’ve seen

Dua Lipa/Dave

MCR

Foals/CATB

Or something along these lines

I still think Catfish were only booked to replace someone who pulled out, they were sure they'd say yes as a last minute booking. I don't see any other reason why they'd book someone who are headlining some considerably smaller festivals.

That’s true actually, reckon Foals could do it outright the

I think its probably more the fact of they wanted them to sub but Catfish would only accept headlining so what better time to ask Catfish back than when they've got 6 headliners. It's possibly an ego thing and bands don't want to accept subbing below x/y headliner and don't want to be put in the bracket of co-headliners as it essentially devalues the band to say they aren't quite worth headlining status but they can't or won't be labelled as subs.

In fact, dyou reckon the only artist Catb would sub would be Arctic Monkeys?

Aye, but you say under X/Y band, but Catfish are under Stormzy ffs, surely their ego can't be that big? He's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) solo acts in the world right now, his last festival gig was headlining Glasto, surely they cant believe that theyre too big to sub him...

    • I see, well even if they aren't on sale it's still not a disaster sales wise, it's not like they are struggling to sell a half capacity areana
    • Blue dot wouldn’t be a thing if Ticketmasters dynamic pricing went down as well as up, it proves that the dynamic pricing was just a scam to make more money rather than something that moved with the market supply/demand. 
    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
