Do you know how much I’d mark out? They’re my favorite band that I haven’t managed to see yet 😂

Saw them twice, man they are so good. Would love a Leeds performance but again highly doubt it 

[heartsink]

Tame impala would not be a cheap booking, this new live show looks incredible and with corona brining the European leg of it to a hault before it could get going I see a big year for tame next year 

im not sure what a citadel performance in 2018 has to do with it when they have just released a incredible album and upped the show (lights, lasers, production,) massively

Again, you have no idea how much these acts cost to book. 

You can have a reasonable idea which acts they've splashed out on. I don't know exactly how much they payed Rage, Foos and Kendrick to headline. But I know they're the most expensive act they booked that year.

Sorry if it’s already been posted, but The Cribs we’re dropping hints yesterday. Would be ace to have them back at R&L

You have intrigued me sure

Might be a little odd with their tickets only just going on sale but I guess being that far away may not matter.

Lights and production are fixed costs that would be dispersed across the shows that the artists plays, doesn't mean they would be more expensive because theyve got fancy lights.

I just don't think Tame has the pull over here compared to America. 

Citadel shows that Tame isn't as popular over here, atleast in 2018. Yes theres an album out since, which you think is incredible, but does the wider audience think that and has that grabbed a wider following?

[Rock_Cycle]

With 6 headliners this year I could definitely seem them getting a more unusual act For the festival like Coldplay or tame impala as there’ll be less backlash than normal. Of course that’s not considering the extra costs

Tame impala have huge crossover appeal with fans of us hip hop/r&b

[TheWaters]

I think the main downside of this two main stage thing with the acts seemingly clashing is even smaller crowds in the smaller stages. Obviously I know in previous years the R1 has taken these crowds too but by the time it gets to the headline slot if there’s two different headline sized acts on at the same time, some of the other stage headliners aren’t gonna stand a chance at all. 

 

Obviously they’ll probably stop a couple stages early like they usually do but even then, can’t help but think the smaller stages will suffer from smaller crowds as a lot of people will likely really wanna see at least one of the headline options each night

[Andre91]

Watching BMTH’s 2015 set and it’s night and day how much better they are as a live act now compared to then, Oli especially. The backing tracks used on that 2015 show are embarrassing watching it back. He’s sorted his shit out live and they will absolutely smash a headline set if they (hopefully) get one.

This is just personal opinion but I’ve always thought the opposite, I fucking loved that 2015 set and thought they smashed it when I was there, but every time I’ve seen them since they’ve dissapointed

They wouldn't get booked with 3 headliners, they won't get booked with 6.

You have a serious hatred towards them, Kevin and crew could quite easily smash a headline set especially with 6

Yeah I agree he’s really big enough 

[RarerThanDandyB]

We really need Dan Wilcox to say something Jesus Christ

[Jericode]

He already said he didn't know anything.

No we don’t, we’ll know the lineup in just over 24 hours no need to pester dan like everyone always does when an announcement is on the way.

Surely Leeds Live haven’t made an entire article about this fake poster out of all of the ones people have made

[CG31]

You’ve gotta think that this is the best year to experiment in a way. First festival in two years, a chance to make up for lost time for all goers, a live festival which we haven’t had this year. People are gonna go no matter who’s headlining, there’s gonna be backlash whoever’s booked, so why not make the year where people are desperate for live music a bit different. If you put Tame Impala against LG or Dave or Dua Lipa both will draw crowds. They are big, their show is amazing and it’s the start of a new era of festival setup so why not try get some headliners that wouldn’t usually play with only 3. Add Slipknot to the list

Ideally imo

Dua Lipa/Slipknot

Dave/Tame Impala

LG/Billie Eilish

Ah yes, 8 headliners with the dance stage and the FR having co-headliners for the first time ever

I agree. There are people like me who can find plenty in the undercard but are generally let down by the headliners. Tame Impala and Slipknot are the kind of headliners who reach people that haven't been catered to in recent years as far as headliners go, and they have a decent enough crossover with the usual crowd that they could do it if there were two stages and someone more typical was on the other stage.

We’re about due a mid-afternoon Jimmy Eat World slot on the Main Stage, aren’t we?

Nope! I would be there with bells on if they were, though.
