Pottsy2913 Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 If they can’t ply the actual festival due to commitments to other festivals, possible standalone dates at the sites similar to ADTR? Can imagine it selling well, their TOYC Tour completely sold out if I recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so many more bangers. 1 hour ago, Hart Attack said: Could be Reading and Leeds? Thought they were ruled out of Slam Dunk by Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park... Well that absolute certainly lasted 4 hours lol. 1 hour ago, Jericode said: Yeah YMAS aren't doing this, they're gonna be in Germany. Both of these two above thankfully. I enjoyed them at Catfish as support but to headline would be underwhelming. Reading and Leeds much more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Thought You Me At Six were terrible supporting BMTH last night. No energy at all and they just seem a bit lost. Setlist was woeful as well. Went to the bar and toilet halfway through so I’d be in a good spot for BMTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 They were dull as dishwater in Cardiff too. You'd think the whole point of touring with them would be to do the two songs they collaborated with MCR on, but as soon as they did Bite My Tongue without Oli the bar queues got a lot longer.

They were pretty good in Swansea, upstaged Feeder. Missing a couple of big songs still but I went with the idea I was more bothered by Feeder anyway.

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 You Me At Six will always suffer live because they think their new stuff is good. They've written 3 good albums, and about 3 good songs in the 4 albums since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they do like a 40 mins set, they leave so many of the songs that got them there out and they aren't going anywhere quick because of it.

jump Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 With the first announcement featuring some names that aren't the usuals lots I'm hoping they carry on being adventurous with their bookings. Keep the mainstage with the usual pop-punk names but having Rancid is a great excuse to get some street punk on their stage. Meet Me @ The Altar is some great fresh blood so let's have few more acts with Radkey, FIDLAR, Hoffmaestro, Dubioza Kolektiv, The Lawrence Arms, Skinny Lister with a bit more diversity and are fucking solid live.

There were a couple of alright tracks on The Wounded World but the new songs all sound poor compared to Never Happy. It's hardly even the same band anyway, I think there's only two left from the original line-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

State Champs are band that kind of reared around the same time and they make sure to include or 3 old one's but you are literally getting Dial Tones and that's about it.

Jericode Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The gap in between is irritating, but traveling to Hatfield twice or having an extra hotel day to fill probably count me out. Shame, I'd have probably gone if the days were back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are headlining a stage a band playing an album in full at a fest feels kinda iffy. That sign has reminded me how weird the bank holidays are next year where you get the Thursday and Friday off. GOD BLESS THE QUEEN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chubby is a good shout! I've not managed to see them yet. Yeah FIDLAR are still a thing and were touring and releasing music up til covid. I don't get the complaints about them as they are full of hooks, energy and self-defeating stupidity so they should fit in with Slam Dunk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archi Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Good news: You Me At Six will play on Slam Dunk field before the festival (like ADTR had to in 2020), so they won't be headlining the festival! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traher666 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 As there is the day gap, assuming they are going to announce another show between the YM@6 shows and the festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they popular enough to do this type of show, I haven't got a clue as they aren't a band on my radar but I can see them using the Slam Dunk sites as a hinderance. Slam Dunk has obvious crossover appeal with this yet the shows aren't the next day so those who want to get hotels will have to decide if they want to bugger around for an extra day in glamorous Hatfield or choose to do loads of travelling in a short space of time and I can see people going fuck that to both options will just go to Slam Dunk.
