thatTFBguy Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Still don't see why blink-182 keep cropping up. Don't see them taking a MSW slot having already headlined proper twice, and without Tom they're not the same draw. Now the long rumoured second reunion could give them the clout but that's not happened yet. And looks unlikely right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Let’s have a revised go: Paramore x Foals Kendrick Lamar x Doja Cat Muse x Sam Fender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CG31 Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 Not sure on Foals, surely 3 albums since they’re last performance they’d have come back by now especially as Brit winners Kasabian are much more likely imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramore and Doja I could get behind and would happily watch, but the others, nah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting one rap headliner between Travis Scott/Kendrick Lamar/Eminem/Post Malone and a rockier act alongside on MSE from one of MCR/Muse/Blink-182 (With Tom). I’m expecting a female pop/rap headliner from Dua Lipa/Doja Cat/Cardi B. Two indie headliners from The 1975/The Killers/Sam Fender/Kasabian/Foals as having AM this year they’ll need a couple of big indie acts to convince the dark fruits crowd. And then I can also see MGK coming back to headline MSW after pulling out last year after the success of his two most recent albums. Paramore are also in with a shot due to reforming, not sure where they’d put them stage wise though as I think it’ll depend on how strong the other headliners are.

We can use the same logic on Rage for not selling out their Edinburgh show and say they aren't a big name draw even though they are headlining.

The fact is they’ve not shifted the tickets, while Fender, who no one is suggesting would MSE above, sold out similar capacity well in advance. Tane Impala are not a flagship festival selling band, they lack the mainstream appeal of Fender etc… Prob a decent MSW booking, nothing beyond that at Reading though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tane Impala are not a flagship festival selling band, they lack the mainstream appeal of Fender etc… Prob a decent MSW booking, nothing beyond that at Reading though To be honest I don't give a shit about Impala or Fender as neither would make me buy a tix on their own although I'd prefer Impala headlining rather than Fender. Impala are pretty decent live whilst Fender was so dull when I saw him last month, I'm told the setlist was the problem that night but he just looked average to me even with a saxophone. I'm just bored of these it's not sold out therefore they are failure analysis arguments, it's like baby analytics which ignores all other variables and simplifying it to a binary of sold out or not sold so even if it's single tix away from being sold out it's treated like it's a trainwreck of an event. It's like people are trying to be insiders based of their knowledge of tickermaster saying it's sold out or not facts is the same thing as a percentage sold through or something.

Just like no one gives a shit about your subjective opinion on what kind of music you find dull or not You’re right though It’s a very simple indicator of popularity, alongside streams etc. if Tame Impala can’t sell out a 45-50k show, Reading are hardly going to go, oh yeah let’s have them top the bill of our fest. And again if they sell 44/45k it’s very different than if they only sell 20k (which we don’t or at least won’t know until we hear from people who went, don’t think anyone off here is bothering though) I don’t mind Tame Impala at all, it’s abundantly clear they’re too niche to be a top of the bill ticket shifter for a very mainstream festival though They’re perfect MSW fodder. Popular, credible and have the show to do it, they’ll be a whole world of “Tame who? Announce Carti” Shouts on Instagram etc though if they were announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streams are another simpleton's attempt of festival analysis, just look at the constant Yungblud argument on here. lol Edited August 3, 2022 by jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure RATM would've have been booked for Reading 2022, if they weren't delayed from 2020 and the hype around their comeback, when it also had a little more oomph with the whole Trump thing. I imagine theyre very surprised they've not sold out their Edinburgh date Re Tame though the fact is theyre a niche band who are not proving they can shift tickets to the mainstream... TBF its the same for all the APE lineup, theyre all pretty niche bands, who don't appeal to the mainstream, who have not shifted tickets quickly in a crowded market Edited August 3, 2022 by Benj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKOCF Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Can’t help but feel that Foals will fall into the Sterophonics/Manics loop of just headlining Kendal/Y Not/Truck/Community every other year plus Glasto occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
