On our side, they wouldn't have done that to R&L after 4 weeks of being announced, the i's will have been dotted and t's crossed before that announcement. The down side is that their last date they're cancelling is about 4 weeks before R&L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like their recent days sold out straight away. Polo G is weak support but Dave is by no means a light first timer - his set will be absolutely rammed. Like I said, Dave is the main one I'm looking forward to. I think he's fantastic but Stormzy (despite being the same level) has the level above (more than likely an industry plant). Every song Dave puts out goes on my playlist but he seems more Post Malone to Stormzys Eminem. Stormzy (and Eminem) will actually make per⁷ople book a ticket to see them. Dave (and Post Malone) are a draw to all the kids who would book a ticket anyway for the festival, and they will all be there. Practically nobody will see Dave headlining and go out their way to buy a ticket. Polo G is weak as hell, but I think its great marketing as he will one day be as big as Travis Scott etc. But had they announced J Hus subbing in 2018 based on (did you see), Playboi Carti in 2020 (Magnolia), Rae Sremmurd in 2014 (black beatles), French Montana in 2015 (unforgettable) as subbing we'd be absolutly outraged and feel ripped off. Instead we have Polo G with 1 song, rapstar, and because of the nature of Spotify where we let a song roll over 3 or 4 times, he's amassed more listens that wouldn't have happened in old money.

It isn’t the same as fourth down, just as Main Stage West isn’t the same stage as the Radio 1 Stage. Your average punter these days sees two big, fuck off stages which are identical and concludes ‘that’s two Main Stages’ and doesn’t think about the size of the acts in logo slots. Besides, everyone announced for a logo a lot this year is absolutely big enough to do so. The joys of a good marketing team eh. Considering the MSW headliners finish before the MSE headliners, you'd say that the MSW are subbing in to the MSE. The marketing team did their magic and now to the casuals they just see 6 big headliners, and a much worse undercard that is taken from the cheap old R1 and spread across 2 main stages.

charlierc Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 23 hours ago, VCK said: Eminem has been past his best for about 20 years now, but he is a name that will always draw a huge crowd and sell day tickets. Dave is maybe the biggest name in UK music right now but he doesn't have quite the outreach that Em has. Case in point, I seem to recall when he headlined in 2017 that day tickets for him sold our near immediately. Not as fast as AM day has this time around, but still on a huge scale.

He's one of those acts who could put out dud album after dud album for the rest of his career but would still be a huge, huge draw wherever he plays because of the legacy he has established for himself. He's the biggest name of his genre, to a lot of people, also the greatest of that genre, and people who aren't even fans of that genre are still fans of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayden2304 Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 On the topic of coachella, if you had to ask me one act I could never see on that lineup it would be Yard Act. No idea how they're on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the MSW finishing their headline before the MSE headline, in an alternative universe we'd have an insane lineup of: Dave >> Megan Thee Stalion >> Polo G >> Glass Animals >> Little Simz Arctic Monkeys >> Bring me the Horizon >> Wolf Alice >> Enter Shikari >> Fontaines DC Rage Against the Machine >> Halsey >> Run the Jewels >> Bastille >> Maneskin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if that was one stage, it wouldn’t be the lineup. Being 1st/2nd on a second stage is more appealing than being 2nd/4th on a single stage. Bastille aren’t playing that low down, BMTH and Halsey wouldn’t either. Pretty much the entire purpose for the setup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did reiterate that they’d get a decent crowd even if it was just me but yh they ain’t playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
