There's a debate being had on the other thread that maybe it's just a bit of duplicitious marketing and that MA aren't actually an exclusive FYI.

Maybe I am overestimating the size of royal blood but I feel like they are on their way to being a UK festival headliner. Calvin Harris is naff but he’s pretty much a household name. Pet Shop Boys, while their major festival headlining days are over they are still... a household name. Yeah this is bang on. I don't really know any Royal Blood songs to be honest, but they're definitely in that realm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 There have only been three instances in the last ten years where there hasn’t been a guitar based act headlining either of the top two stages... Saturday 16 - Adele/New Order Saturday 15 - Kanye/Dedmau5 Sunday 10 - Stevie Wonder/Orbital Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foals are in France on the Friday and Luxembourg on the Saturday. Doesn’t look like they’re doing three straight nights anywhere in their tour.

Divein Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I love Kendrick but I honestly thought sticking him up against the Pet Shop Boys was going to shrink his crowd a hell of a lot. So this now makes a bit more sense. On the subject of The National, I dont think they stank in 2017, its just the decision to play 4/5 songs from an album that wasnt out was a mistake. That setlist post-album is great if you know what I mean. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That setlist post-album is great if you know what I mean. Totally, was hyping a few people up for it on the run up to it and they started listening to a lot of their songs they normally play. Only for them to play a bunch of songs they had never heard of before. It was really cool seeing new songs, but wrong place. Along with a lot of people hanging around for Foo Fighters and you kinda lost a lot of people. I love them, they're one of my favourites, but that was not their best show and the crowd were not into it, at least where I was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuie Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 2 hours ago, Matt42 said: Calvin Harris is massive to those whose extent of music listening is flicking radio 1 on for an hour or two a day. He doesn’t have any massive albums really because he’s a singles artist. He's massive full stop. Not just to those who only flick radio 1 on. Plenty of people with wide ranging taste in music like him. I'm not taking it that if you like Calvin Harris you have low level interest in music. To suggest that is snobbery, because you don't like him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyve sold 50 million records.

Havors Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 If Royal Blood and Calvin Harris play on any stage at any time I would be very very happy. Id take them both over Kendrick Lemar and Taylor Swift any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
