Jayden2304 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm gonna go to Leeds for the first time. Am I going to have to buy my tickets at 9am Thursday on the dot or will they not sell out by then? Also my pals dad owns a flat in leeds, would we be able to buy a week's pass without camping?

VCK Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 They should have just gone with redoing this year's but with a few adjustments such as QOTSA instead of RATM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor booking. yep 100% agree I feel like there are so many artists that deserve to headline over Liam and Postie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't sell out. You buy a weekend ticket, it includes camping. So it might be worth camping so you don't have to travel back and forth every morning / night.

Ddiamondd Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 1 minute ago, VCK said: I think the second main stage headliners are essentially subs anyway. Thing is, it's not a bad set of acts at all. Catfish, Disclosure and QOTSA would in fact be a very strong trio of subs. But R+L are setting themselves up for a major fall announcing 6 headliners, doing a run of "Look to the future! Only one repeat headliner!" press and then just cycling back to old favourites with not a single female headliner when there are tons they could have gone to. Now, if QOTSA don't land for an audience who weren't even born at the time of their last true crossover moment, or Disclosure draw a modest crowd because they've stagnated since their breakthrough in 2013, the lack of a Dave/Dua/Billie/Travis will look glaring.

Diamond24 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm really going to miss the Radio 1 stage. Such an electric atmosphere in there when there's a big gig. Hard to replicate that with a second main stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhcp1 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Lewis Capaldi is an extremely depressing booking. Whatever about Disclosure, Stormzy etc at least they create some form of atmosphere but Lewis Capaldi Lewis fucking Capaldi never thought I'd see the day such a boring, drab,moaney shitebag would be at Leeds Edited August 31, 2020 by Rhcp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyn Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 With a second main stage, won't it be basically the same amount of acts if there's no clashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramusgrove Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 QOTSA would need an amazing undercard for me to be tempted with a day ticket. Would probably even skip half of LG to beat traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a female headliner that isn't mainstream pop? Paramore, Florence, or maybe even taking the gamble of pushing someone like Wolf Alice up. Plenty of female talent in music right now but people can't seem to look beyond the charts for it. Edited August 31, 2020 by VCK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttJ Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) A positive way to look at it for myself is that a trio of Stormzy/Disclosure/QOTSA is something I'd have really enjoyed, however I love the NME tent so I really think it'll be missing something next year. Think I'll be day ticketing but not sure on which just yet. Edited August 31, 2020 by mttJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard the Fab Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hoping for a good Dance act Post Malone night, Disclosure into Wilkinson might turn out to be a decent night Obviously there could be a decent FR headliner(100 Gecs would be a clutch) but after last years no guitar acts against him I’m worried that night might just fizzle out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xeph1995 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I'm a bit dissapointed that R&L keep doing joint headliners? It's a trend I hope would die out but seems like it's sticking. Hellfest and Wacken do two mainstages and it's a shit view believe me. Having one mainstage is Always preferable for an equal view for all. Edited August 31, 2020 by Xeph1995 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
