Miyn Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 I think they'll have the R1, there's just too many acts that wouldn't fit anywhere else except R1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy2913 Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Yeah, I've just heard that new Bring Me song. I'm not the biggest Yungblud fan, but damn, it's really good. It would go off live. They've dropped a clanger not booking them as a headline act. If it isn't in the next two years, I don't think they ever will headline unfortunately. The fact that Yungblud has just been announced as well adds to the "What if...?" scenario... In before "bUt tHeY dIdN't sElL oUt tHeIr dAy aT aPE". They would absolutely smash a headline set, and that argument will not convince me otherwise. They deserved a chance this year at the very least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jericode Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Charli, Sigrid, and Neck Deep are good adds. Non-plussed on Yungblud. Never heard of Jack Harlow but yeah, seems to do big numbers on Spotify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I wouldn't have thought they would have someone be a headline act two years in a row (Post Malone, since 2020 didn't happen) Edited September 2, 2020 by Pottsy2913 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like last year was really lacking in the secret sets though. Was pissed beyond belief when I heard BFMV were Reading only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 3 hours ago, Andre91 said: You Me At Six are a terrible example. Josh, the vanilla frontman of one of the most vanilla bands out there, can’t comment shit on the state of rock music. He and his band are responsible for some of the blandest rock music of the last decade, both directly from them and from bands they’ve influenced. Their new song is as awful as anything else they’ve released since Sinners Never Sleep. It’s supposed to be some ‘protest’ song and something edgier but it’s still boring. They’re like a lot of bands of their ilk in that they haven’t directed their ‘anger’ at anything specific (like IDLES do, for example), they’ve just made a typically vanilla, bland, ‘everything is fucked’ kind of protest song. It’s crap. There is plenty of exciting stuff going off in the worlds of rock and heavier music. You Me At Six are not one of them. I've listened to some of the material you would call exciting heavier music......exciting isn't the word 😜 50 minutes ago, Andre91 said: Disclosure are a big name and one of the most important dance acts of the last decade. Headlining again is a bit of a stretch but I think they would have likely been booked as a R1 tent headliner if it was a normal year. Back to BMTH, in the last two years, they’ve released MANTRA, Wonderful Life, Ludens, Parasite Eve and now Obey as singles. The same BMTH who ‘aren’t a rock band anymore’... You yourself questioned BMTH a while back but you are the king of going back on everything and having to be correct. 35 minutes ago, NoBuses said: Tragic Agreed! 27 minutes ago, Andre91 said: Happy with Neck Deep and Charli (her new album bangs).

Dangerbreaks Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 Re. Day tickets from what I remember they don't get released until closer to the festival or at least when they release the splits so we have a good idea of who's on each day.
