FloorFiller Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Pretty sure somebody on here had info that Tyler was only playing festivals he was headlining. Haven’t checked on that but he’s headlining all the ones that spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 No Capaldi is interesting, although makes sense with him having played the same set he’ll be touring this year at the farm already. Hopefully opens the door for somebody like Alicia Keys to be on after D Ross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they put a run of similar acts together people camp out at a stage/on the barrier. Meaning others might not be able to get close if they've been elsewhere. It gets movement around the site. I've certainly seen it mentioned before on here that they aim for crowd churn. I'm personally of the opinion that given you sometimes get well matched combos and you sometimes get things that really clash is that they aren't really concerned about it and the driving force behind who plays what day will be the act's schedules.

Makes you wonder of the Aerosmith - Noel - Macca run is true. As I’d wager you’d get huge numbers of people turning up for Aerosmith and just staying through to Macca.

"Sorry Aerosmith I know you've said you're happy to play 3rd down the bill and Saturday works for you but we're going to say no because of crowd churn concerns with the other bands we've booked." I just think when booking bands on the cheap due to good will then "What day works for you?" is the most likely approach rather than either ensuring things match or that things don't match.

I think it works like that as well, certainly at the top end as the headliners are booked first, and probably less so the earlier in the day it is.

The fact it did is merely a nice bonus. Aunty Moira's 60th at the Douglas Hotel in Kilmarnock on the Friday night or whatever else was going on in the lives of the Biff was probably the thinking rather than anything at all to do with crowds.

GrumpyRaver Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 They absolutely try to keep the crowd moving, stop people camping out, blanket brigade. The only exceptions I know are when the headliner is big enough to demand the sub is somebody specific, or cares enough... Stones and Primal Scream, The Who and Weller, and potentially Macca this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of things that make sense together The XX into Radiohead or Liam into The Killers along with churn machine combos of Biffy into Ed Sheeran and Nick Cave into Mumford's. Along with shrug worthy neither matched not mismatched things like Vampire Weekend into The Cure . All the evidence points to them not giving a flying fuck about who follows whom.

So subbing could be 1975 instead of Noel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in 2015 everyone around me knew it was the Libertines before the banner dropped. I highly doubt that there would be a TBA on the pyramid that most people are genuinely surprised about. With the exception of two women stood near me who where CONVINCED it was gonna be The Stone Roses, even with myself and everyone around telling them otherwise, they stuck to their guns and insisted we were all wrong. They were clearly going to be a nightmare once the band came on, so me and others slowly shuffled away to a better spot. I like to imagine that because they were so battered they didn't notice it wasn't the Roses and to this day regale their mates with tales of The Roses secret Glastonbury set!

CaledonianGonzo Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Was wondering why people keep including Tom Zé in their predictions, but now I've googled why and he's playing Roskilde and I love to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 All these guys from the ETC get a slot on one of the mainstages, after presumably loads of hard graft, then get plonked against Coldplay and get a tiny crowd. Very cruel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s toured around the festival for years before and not done it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is attending the festival instead of playing it. He seems to prefer to do that anyway Aside from the touring patterns nearby in the country, Neil knows my source and he is def, def playing. Think Neil was told even about this time last year that Noel had been booked in fairness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Tonne Baby Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 The 1975 as a surprise would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
