LazyDavid Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 The All Points East gig was great however it wasn't very busy at all, wonder if that could have factored into their lack of being booked to headline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWaters Posted September 11, 2020 Report Share Posted September 11, 2020 Yeah very Radiohead-esque in parts. Very nice. Think they said they were booked for this year but hadn’t been announced yet so hopefully they’re back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether it'll be festivals but they're supposed to be at least touring next year. Won't see them at this one, however. The last time they went down pretty poorly with the Reading crowd and it wasn't even full of dabbing Gen-Z aspiring YouTube celebrities back then.

It Was A Monstering specifically is very modern Radiohead, sounds like it’s straight off A Moon Shaped Pool it’s really good. Big Climb and Violent Sun are probably my favourites on the album besides that although they’re much more upbeat and on brand for EE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacred shape Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 It's looking very fresh. On a similar note, does anyone know why some festivals have their own page, while others are in 'Other UK Festivals' or 'International festivals', and how it's decided. Most of the festivals which have their own page are pretty inactive (half of them not used in the last month, Belladrum not even this year!).

Were you actually there? My recollection was that there was an issue with the lighting rig and he got pissed. They then proceeded to play anything but 'hits'. So that's why nobody really got into it. Which is actually pretty funny. The performance before then with the lights was absolutely amazing!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember right the problem was because of Biffy Clyro’s fucking massive stage set up Nine Inch Nails couldn’t use whatever they brought.

R Shah Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Suppose the tables were turned and QOTSA were headlining DL and it was LG/Biffy at Reading 2021. How do we think this would be perceived? Weaker/stronger? I think QOTSA are a massive booking but seen a lot of people saying they're just a glorified sub, younger crowd never heard of them etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Many or Horror would be a big draw, I feel like QOTSA don’t really have anything that was massive in my time. No One Knows has always been decently present, but they haven’t seemed to touch the charts recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No One Knows has always been decently present, but they haven’t seemed to touch the charts recently. I'd disagree with that assessment. In the last decade Queens were adopted by the Radio X / Arctic Monkeys crowd(s), had no. 2 and no. 1 albums, stepped up to arenas... They're not coasting off a 2002 hit anymore. I think they've got it the right way around tbh. Biffy are a safe yet unremarkable headliner booked for a festival that goes for safe yet unremarkable headliners every damn time. Download isn't Queens' home crowd, would be a bit of a shot in the dark but here they serve a purpose just as some American hard rock flavour in among the six headliners. They'll go down fine again with the R+L crowd. Edited September 12, 2020 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Queens are the band in the middle, too early/not enough hits for the current generation but also too late and not many parents grew up with them either hence not playing them around the kids Biffy are much more popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 The festival already has Post Malone and DaBaby and AJ Tracey and is Reading and Leeds festival so it doesn't really need to do a whole lot more to appeal to a young audience. Stop overthinking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
