2021 Headliners

[Punksnotdead]

What a weird list! How can you lump the mighty Cribs & Pete & the pirates in with shite like Fratellis & Ordinary Boys - very odd.

Also, why is it always indie that gets tagged with the landfill insult? There are plenty of examples of garbage in every genre of music!

As a Teleman fan I chose to ignore the fact P&TP were in there

Me too Quark

Someone is going to click on the Headliner thread seeing that it has gone hot, see talk of Fratellis and Futureheads and have a heart attack...

Went through this yesterday.

9 of these songs can be heard in The Inbetweeners. Go ahead, enjoy that fact.

Would be happy with those 3 

flo / am / muse 

 

would be nice if they released some new tunes though , well maybe not muse haha 

[PolygonWindow]

If Muse are in, I reckon it’s for Macca.

 

anyone agree?

 

Have a feeling (a feeling derived from 0 info, just stirring the pot) AMs are done.

I’m confident Macca will be there next year.

So am I! Fingers crossed too. Saw him in Hyde park many years ago and thought he was great!

Macca is the  most likely to remain id say due to his age ... if hes going to do it again it will be as soon as possible .... and the post  from his daughter very much put him in the picture ....

Going back to that Vice thing, we can’t be too far away from the first Butlins Landfill Indie Weekender.

[Hugh Jass]

Having typed that I’m now shuddering at the prospect of being trapped in a decaying holiday camp with nothing for entertainment except The Kooks, The View and a special acoustic set from that bloke who was in The Enemy.

Shiiite-on Weekender 

[Gnomicide]

Can't get passed the insistence on calling it Landfill Indie when every fool knows it's Indie Landfill.

Pricks.

Glasss houses. Can't roast that if we wind up with Arctic Monkeys, Flo and that guy who makes his guitar sound like a space gun.

VFest 2007-ass trio.

Has 'landfill' been reclaimed for use by those it once described?  Otherwise, the word 'greatest' has been stretched beyond all previous recognition in that sentence.

Still, I'm going to give it a read.

Given how many of these acts are not only outside-the-bin but more popular than ever, it has definitely been reappropriated.

I like it though. I want the playlist.

[Hugh Jass]

I’m sure this has been discussed over on the Reading/Leeds thread, but for those of us who prefer to stay away from that dark, unholy place the BBC are doing a virtual R/L, similar to their Glasto coverage.

Mught watch a bit of Radiohead later, then maybe YYY’s on Sunday...

Obviously not quite the same depth of footage as GF, some 15 minute sets on show there...

The Holloways, Hard-Fi and Boy Kill Boy must be sat around wondering how they didn't make this list?

Some bad opinions aplenty throughout this article. The Rakes for example were hugely underrated, they made 3 absolutely stellar albums and there is nothing landfill or dated about their material.

Not a single tune from the Kaiser Chiefs, who were one of the progenitors of this shite.
