Looked like they’ll do the covid check first before the normal ticket queue, which would be consistent with the couple of gigs I’ve been to lately This is how it was for the Euro's games at wembley too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Who are we expecting to get the biggest crowds of the weekend then? I think the top 5 will be (in no particular order): Liam Gallagher KSI AJ Tracey Post Malone Stormzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchestermusicreview Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 Smallest? I reckon interest in the Hunna has dried up, and I fear for Girl in Red against Liam Gallagher and Crucast. Conversely, Dinosaur Pile-up should have a good showing thanks to those who aren’t into rap/grime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted August 24, 2021 Report Share Posted August 24, 2021 I would of thought biffy would get a bigger crowd than Liam, wasn't Liam seen as a weak headliner when announced. Not headlined a major festival, whilst biffy have the pedigree as a headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam is a weird one for me, wasn't really that popular post oasis until last couple of years. Now all of a sudden his headline material, I know its perhaps the amount of oasis tunes he does. Would he off been headline material with beady eye if they threw in half a dozen oasis tunes? Just don't get the huge surge to headliner.

The Hunna (obviously), The Hara (are they the new Hunna?), Disclosure and IDKHOW will flop for me, not convinced by TDCC subbing either these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Two Door must be in with a shout for biggest crowd - not much on at the same time as them and very well known/easy listening --- Niko B and BBCC will be rammed also Edited August 24, 2021 by gfa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upon further inspection Bloxx will struggle against Wolf Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran 15 minutes into Blossoms set at Tramlines and I’ve never seen a tent empty quicker. Must have been demoralising as hell. Deserve better.
