I was thinking more like slip them under Biffy and have it as a co headline so Biffy / BMTH then Yungblud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we think there’s the possibility hes pulled out at the same time as QOTSA but R&L thought thatd be too much of a big loss with both of them gone in the same announcement? It’d make sense if his and Deznels have been gone since then maybe it’s a case of that, or that they hadn’t organised an adequate replacement yet so have been waiting to announce it Probably not the case but worth a shout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to find any hope Im not too bothered about him not being there and considering Travis took his first flight since the plane crash in 2008 a week or so ago, I can’t see him flying over to the UK.

I don’t have think Frank Carter can play that high. He obviously has a large fan base, it’s very niche though, he had a small crowd, relatively, to pretty much all acts around that time of day at Reading in 2019. He is in no way mainstream. Admittedly he’s released little of late, he has 1/3rd of Wolf Alice’s monthly listeners for starters and Wolf Alice don’t have that many!

Benj Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 if MGK pulls, lash everyone up a spot and give Girl in Red a main stage slot too ala 333 (this is based solely on me not fancying her clashing with the headliners) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wghennessy Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 (edited) Got sent a photo of Yungbluds band rehearsing for Leeds tonight so you've got that one boxed off at least lol.

VCK Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 It seems to me like the second Main Stage is similar to the Other Stage at Glastonbury. It might work, scrapping the NME/R1 Tent for good and just having an open air second stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted August 18, 2021 Report Share Posted August 18, 2021 What’s to say MGK won’t have a session drummer? Yungblud had a session drummer for all 5 of his Kentish Town shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
