I feel like they are the easy way out, similar to Kings of leon. 

Personally i haven't yet seen them live so it could be worse for me.

I'm sure Leaks seemed to scoff at the idea that Imagine Dragons might be the rock headliner......and yet they're a damn sight more rock than Mumford and his banjo.

 

I agree lol.. Mumford is kinda country to me lol 😢 😢

Hey dude, are you still 100% positive for Lorde now ? 😜

If it IS Mumford, when they could (potentially) have gone for Blur or The Killers, then they better have one hell of an undercard that day.

Blur, The Killers, The Strokes, ... I think the same !

Things doesnt work that way.

But just hypothetically, she would sub Sziget or lower? 

I know lol, but still that's a good indicator ^^

I'd say sub, since Lorde is for many people here headliner status, with "only" 17M/month.. (and before I get scream at, I DO like Lorde lol. I just don't consider her as headliner material)

Will be a minority — saw Mumford at Sziget in 2018, and for me it was the best set of a festival, and probably one of the best concerts I’ve been at all. Don’t understand the hate, TBH. 
 

Still it’s funny but true that Imagine Dragons have more “rocky” sound live than M&S.

Got a Vegas residency during Sziget. 

Yes, I did check as I'm desperately clutching at straws that it's not Mumford.....

Do you think M&S makes sense? They are in Europe in July then end of July they are in Canada, then end of august they are in the US. Would it make sense for them to come back to europe for a few weeks in august?

Let's hope not. I assume they have lots more summer dates to announce but not sure where else in Europe they could play. Most festivals' headliners seem to have already been announced.

I don't hate M&S, in fact I quite like a few tracks. I just think they'd be a massively underwhelming, tired bit of nothing booking.

    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
    • I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
    • Trent said he’s working on new Nine Inch Nails musicnand that Coachella was the farewell show for Nine Inch Noize.   Would be over the moon to have any of the options at Prima 2027, though
