The people complaining usually want acts who played the previous year. I find this trend on social media all the time. Do people buy a ticket / decide to go and expect the exact same lineup as the year before? It’s weird. Is it the FOMO from seeing last years sets?

Or they only know/like 3 bands/artists so they want to see those 3 bands/artists.

Dua Lipa, Tyler and the 1975 are a pretty weak trio. I wouldn't say any of them is particularly strong compared to say AM this year. Feels incredibly cheap - they could defo get something a bit bigger than that.

Was you not here when the headliners were Fallout Boy, Kings of Leon, Panic at the Disco?!

Even the year after it was 1975, Post Malone, 21 Pilots, Foo Fighters.

 

Dua Lipa, Tyler, 1975, Sam Fender, Yungblud, Doja Cat will sell the weekend tickets out immediately. Every school leaver wants to see those, compared to say Blink 182, Greenday, MCR, Metallica etc.

As it’s my current campaign. I’m going to assume they see sense and go back to the R1!

 

MS -

Sam Fender > Doja Cat

Dua Lipa

Metallica

 

R1 -

Aitch

Yungblud (too big? If so he can a ub Lipa, Tom Grennan or some dark fruits stuff instead)

Becky Hill

It was Post Malone, FOB, Panic and KOL

The year after 1975, 21p and foo fighters.

Its not really right to compare old format anyway as the money is spent so differently. What you suggested is a big budget step down from the last 2 years.

I'm not saying book any of those acts you listed by any means - just mean some bigger rappers/indie acts. Tyler and 1975 look tiny vs AM and Dave this year.

1975 | Sam Fender

Eminem | QOTSA

Killers | Doja Cat

Courteeners very special guest

The Killers would be an incredibly safe headliner guaranteed to draw a crowd so I'm surprised they haven't done it since 2008. Wouldn't be terribly inspiring but that's one of Melvin's criteria right there

Depends how well her album release goes, wouldn't of thought that massive of a slot but impossible to predict 

She’s getting a heck of a lot of industry support and her music is pretty good. If her debut is very good I could see her being like third down MSW minimum.

with a big debut before she'd probably do 3rd/ 4th down R1 so i'd say third / fourth down MSW if she continues growing. She's still doing small venues like Kentish town and is defo not the same size as Aitch and Slowthai who did that slot last year to huge crowds

Not playing for 15 years isn't that uninspiring. Last time they did a uk festival thats not glastonbury was 2018 too (and glastonbury was only 2019 and went down incredibly well). Would be very well received too.

I think its insane they haven't played for 15 years in all honesty - they are a home run booking really

edit: latitude and trnsmt in 2018 as well actually. point still stands - home run booking

They're not uninspiring in the way that KoL are, but 90% of people who would watch The Killers would be there for Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me etc, it's the same as people seeing KoL for Sex on Fire (except Killers' have more top level songs).

And yeah, agree about them not playing R&L for 15 years being crazy, they would have gone down far better than some of the dross we've had since, e.g. KoL.
