Palebluedot Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Although more of a Reading and Leeds booking , Blink would absolutely smash the JP and would draw a surprisingly massive crowd. What you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick them on Other, not JP. They'd have the draw. Similar to Libertines slot this year. Edited July 6, 2022 by blutarsky typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'd argue, even with Matt Skiba in for Tom DeLonge, they'd be too big for the John Peel tent. They would be a fun booking if you could get the slot right, mind - messy, fast, loose, likely to bring along some singalongs - and obviously when all band members concerned are back to good health. Feeling This The Rock Show Cynical What's My Age Again? First Date Bored to Death Down Adam's Song I Miss You Dumpweed Violence Always Reckless Abandon All the Small Things Damnit Yeah, I could vibe on that.

Similar to Libertines slot this year. I haven't seen them live, but I've watched a few of their performances on YouTube, they do kind of murder small things and a few other songs... The vocals just sound way way off. But on the other hand damn it sounds incredible live... I put it down to some songs just being a bit easier for him live than others... 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mttJ Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) One of my favourite bands of all time, and definitely woeful live unless you’re in amongst it and can’t really tell! I don’t really think they’re a band worthy of the slot they’d likely command, especially with Skiba. When you bring in Mark’s recent battle with cancer and Travis’ new involvements/reluctance to fly, it seems pretty unlikely. I can’t even see them headlining R&L again (although maybe with the 6 headliner thing) unless Tom came back, and I also would be surprised to see them take a lower spot. Overall I think it’s pretty unlikely they’d make all the effort for a smaller slot, and they’re no longer relevant enough for a bigger one.

Suprefan Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) No chance in hell they play John Peel. Other headliner for sure cause they would headline Reading/Leeds. Even 3rd down on Pyramid at worst if it includes DeLonge. Green Day would headline by all accounts and Blink wouldnt be that far below them Edited July 7, 2022 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banananey Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Thought they were quality live when I saw them (with Skiba) but then they're one of those bands you just scream out every word and don't really notice how they actually sound. Could see them maybe do that Miley/Katy Perry Sunday slot where they throw in a random big name act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1986 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Seen them at 3 Reading's over the years and had a blast every time. Definitely helps to be half cut in a crowd singing along rather than watching at home. I think they're at least still at that APE Headliner, Sub/ Other headliner level. But maybe if they played they'd take a smaller slot for demographic reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out with a Kardashian so there’s gotta be some element of c**tiness there… But otherwise I’m not sure. He seems fine, if a little annoying in being a key factor in this new wave of terrible pop punk coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 They're the same kind of booking for me as RHCP would be (albeit RHCP would be headline or nothing probably), ie I don't really listen to them very often, but my teenage self would be hyperventilating. I'd probably go tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yeah, I think their days at UK festivals are numbered. Could see them getting a "special" slot - or a headline show on the stage the day before - at Slam Dunk if the latter were willing to shell out big-time.

glimmers_of_hope Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm sure if they are your sort of thing they would be good fun. Glasto seemed to sidestep all those bands at the time on the pyramid. Might have a place on the other stage as a bit of a wildcard booking, doesn't seem likely... But they don't look like they will be doing anything anytime soon anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
