R Shah Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 (edited) Don Broco today announced a show at Bedford Esquires on 23/11. Gives me a newfounded optimism smaller gigs will be back before the end of the year praying Live At Leeds Fest can go ahead on 28th November! Broco 4th down main would be fantastic on a day with the likes of RATM, BMTH or something. If they do Slam Dunk 2021 it won't be an exclusive hopefully!

metallimuse Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 So....am I the only one who thinks the new 1975 album is a bloated mess? A handful of good (not even strong) songs and the rest is trying too hard to be a movie score. I don't mind soundscapes and setting moods in between songs but then I remember that this was meant to be a double album with the last one I just feel like this is the left overs from that writing period. Similar to when Metallica split their double album for 'Load' and 'Reload' but 'A Brief Inquiry...' is actually an incredible album and 'Load' was just good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Travis and AM, they could get away with a solo headliner (probably tame i'd say) --- Not looked at their dates but RHCP? Would sell a ton of tickets if it was their only UK show now that frusciante's back and with a new album too it would be a huge booking. Maybe this - not sure if its too expensive to have RHCP and Travis Scott. Also kasabian could be swapped for liam i guess or someone else (maybe travis for stormzy too) RHCP Travis Scott Kasabian Edited May 28, 2020 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to when Metallica split their double album for 'Load' and 'Reload' but 'A Brief Inquiry...' is actually an incredible album and 'Load' was just good. Said this elsewhere in the forum but I think it should’ve been split in to two albums with a clear divide - one of the more traditional rock/pop that people associate them with, and then another for the more electronic stuff. The two sounds just don’t meld together at all on the single run through and it plays more like a random playlist than an album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 I can't deny I think The Strokes will take a co-headline slot if you look at the Primavera sound poster they have huge acts like Gorillaz, Tyler the creator, The National, Beck, Tame Impala and The Strokes all potential headliners of any festivals tbh The National and BECK will never be back at Reading but anyhow this proves The Strokes might consider the possibility of Co-headlining. Plus this puts the Gorillaz in the frame too. Plus even though we slag off Arcade Fire they have got some brilliant records and they'll be cheap plus they'll have a big enough pulling capacity too co-headline. I know it's early June but good to see there around. Food for thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave civilised acts like them to All Points East or British Summer Time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Arcade Fire but I can guarantee literally no one at Reading would care about them anymore, you say they have pulling power for a co-headline but I think honestly the Wombats would pull a larger crowd than them, just no 16-18 year olds really know who they are. Arcade Fire would absolutely smash a show at APE, BST etc. Strokes could co-headline but I could see them just doing their own shows instead, I do think LG still has a fairly larger crowd pull than them in the UK.

LG and the Strokes however, even more of a crowd pull, especially against someone like AJ Tracey on R1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like 3 years between headliners is a minimum (thats ignoring the weird FOB 2016 + 2018 situation) and I feel like having Panic back after just 3 years is a bit much - that being said I was disappointed when they were announced as co-headliner in 2018, but ended up really enjoying their set!

I know the survey's results are probably meaningless but I don't remember a time where eventual headliners haven't been listed in the survey for FR events.

OnlyRevolutions Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm not sure about Rage but i am almost certain our other two headliners will be back because of these reasons: Liam - back headlining TRNSMT and will also most likely reschedule his Heaton Park gig, can't see him reorganising everything else and not this. Stormzy - was set to tour the UK this winter but will no doubt be postponed to a later date, being a british act and living within the country i can't see them replacing him with anyone else either if he's going to be available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMTH's only headline festival slot completely flopped. Its hardly out of the realms of possibility given foals subbed trnsmt (which is way more shocking). Fair enough about no dark fruits last year though. Would just need a strong dark fruits undercard instead i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or the other imo, but I see why Kasabian is a shout. Rather have BMTH tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage is most likely to stay at the moment unless there's a travel ban because their rescheduled tour in US finishes in time for it and melvin benn labels them as the ultimate RandL headliner, i really don't think he'd pass on the opportunity to get them to headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their slot at glasto last year was tiny vs the other APE headliners who played (chems headlined other and so did ctatq while BMTH were 5th down other). Its hardly outside the realms of possibility. I think efests really overestimates their size honestly, they just aren't headliners in my opinion. Like not even up for debate honestly.

I think it is, Chemical Brothers have been around since the 90s so are obviously a choice for other stage headliner. BMTH have worked their way up the Reading bill and are big enough to headline, they subbed in 2015 and from videos it looked pretty packed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
