Booked for a regular sub/third down Other slot in ‘20 so the assumption was always that they’d just keep that slot, even if they are a perfect kind of act for the Other opener. i'm losing track of years, but i know that supergrass were booked for the opening slot on the other stage for one year, did that happen in 2019? if not it might have rolled -over to this year.

Vaccines in 2019, was gonna be Happy Mondays in 2020, so I'm guessing Supergrass were 2021. Gives me some hope they they've been knocked down a slot or two this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were on the 2020 poster for a 'normal' slot, not to open Other (I think). As far as I know, they had the offer to open Other this time, but turned it down Edited May 23, 2022 by mufcok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico martin Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 Are the libertines really much of a draw these days then? Supergrass/ bloc party/ happy Mondays would all be more fun imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrass/ bloc party/ happy Mondays would all be more fun imho I don't think Bloc Party would be interested in doing the other opening slot, they have proper decent new material. Supergrass were given a proper slot in 2020 and got this again and then Mondays are out for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergrass/ bloc party/ happy Mondays would all be more fun imho The Libertines were headlining Reading/Leeds less than a decade ago which is more than can be said for any other bands to do the Other opener slot. They may have fallen off since but they’re still a massive get for that slot imo - much bigger deal than Bloc Party and Happy Mondays at least.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 They're a big name and have - or had - a big hardcore fan base. But I dunno if that translates in the setlist they're likely to perform - they won't have as many big numbers as some of the other bands.

Generational thing but my group would certainly care a lot more for The Libertines than Supergrass or The Mondays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
