Charliehmiller Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Blossoms would be Thursday again surely? I know it's not likely but I'm just hoping it's not the kooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. Tramlines lost a headliner back in August last year. Then Reading/Leeds announced Catfish so I guessed it was them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. Live Nation and SJM may have signed them up for events as that's what they have been announced for so far and that's possibly left Superstruct events without them. Generally it's a freelance booker for the likes of Trunk, Tramlines, Kendal, Victorious and Y Not (even though now not part of the same group). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Given the proximity of Reading to Truck, surely they must be out? I wouldn't mind either way, would definitely prefer phonics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I’d put a bet on either Wolf Alice, Foals, Royal Blood turning up as one of the headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond24 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 2 hours ago, retrokev said: foals headlined the last one on And Wolf Alice. So I think both are unlikely. I think Royal Blood would be great headlining this, but I'm not sure they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OllieR Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Other festivals like R&L have repeated headliners from 2019, so wouldn’t rule out 1 repeating especially as wolf Alice have a new album coming out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it myself 6 headliners is a bit of a stretch but great marketing from FR/LN. They have some headline sized acts (by large festival standards) with some fillers that headline smaller events and are generally further down the line ups at larger events. Catfish were headlining the likes of Tramlines and QotSA have played R&L under headliners so many times as well as Other Stage at Glasto. There is a big pool of British acts they could of booked without repeats, it could be considered lazying bookings or just playing it safe. Superstruct much like Global and Count Of Ten before them will just recycle headliners and big acts for a few years across 4/5 events. An event is unlikely to get the same combination but it may get a festivals dirty left-overs 😀 Edited March 29, 2021 by JBarbour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliehmiller Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 With London grammar just being announced for all points east does that make them more of less likely to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it myself nor can i. big fests like R&L have lots more options on other stages if people want to do that. Repeat headline bookings at smaller fests rarely / never happen. i cant think of a 10k or smaller fest ever booking the same headliner twice.

Metalupyourass97 Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 With the 2020 break would it really count as a repeat headliner if wolf Alice played again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charliefro Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 @JBarbour do you have an inkling on who is playing or when it will be announced this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
