theesundayroast Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 19 hours ago, rawaudioinput said: Stereophonics played both those venues on their last tour and headlined Kendal Calling in 2017 Biffy are of course a bit different in that they are established major festival headliners, but it does feel like they're running out of options to maintain that status The last time they headlined Download they reportedly played to a smaller crowd than Rob Zombie on the 2nd stage and their booking for 2021 has been met with universal indifference Of course they could potentially headline Isle of Wight again, but they share headliners with the like of Kendal Calling already so I wouldn't really see them being booked for APE, Kendal, Truck, etc. as that much of a drop Please correct me if I'm wrong but I always think for Biffy as having a *slightly* older fanbase these days that doesn't quite match the largely GCSE/ A level crowd of R+L (not that this is an issue, it's when I started going!) Download/ Kendall/ Victorious all seem to match that slightly older demographic, I never seem to see quite as young a crowd. Biffy swapping from R+L to these festivals may not be due to size (they can still sell out massive arenas) but because it's where their target audience now is, meaning they can shift more tickets? Might be completely off the mark there but just some thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost wish I'd watched Less Than Jake over Foo Fighters that year as thought they were quite average that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theesundayroast Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 New pendulum sounds incredibly dated imo but that's kind of why I'm really enjoying it. Never hurts to have a little bit of a throwback. Saying that, I can't imagine I'll play either song much in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawaudioinput Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'd be interested in seeing Pendulum if they start putting some effort in to their stage production again rather than using Windows Media Player visualizations as their backdrop Their shows at Wembley in 2010 were fantastic and I'd love to see them back up to that standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metallimuse Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Excited for the day splits, hoping for Charlie XCX, Doja Cat and Sigrid to be the same day as either Postie or Queens. That would do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 I'm expecting a fair few other names to be announced if they're doing day splits next week. You'd think that there's not really enough announced already to justify day splits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
