Well after seeing Primavera booked f*cking Calvin Harris and Halsey among the headliners suddenly the potentials on here don't seem as bad

Calvin Harris is headlining Prima and he played Arcadia. You get shat on cos you talk a load of absolute guff. 

The Halsey other / primavera point was pretty fair imo but when Supre says it like that hes just asked to get piled on.

Still think European festivals are a false equivalence. She could do Other headline, maybe, but looking at European festivals then so could Editors. Rosalia is also headlining Primavera but most are touting her for West Holts headline.

Four Tet sometimes releases random songs under similar like names, I figured it might be him.

Imagine not thinking The Weeknd would fucking destroy a headline slot.

 

im lost for words with some responses 

Literally one of the biggest acts they could get. Can comfortably say he’s one of the most popular male artists on the planet. Absolutely gigantic.

Halsey is deffo other headline sized.

Headlined MSW at R&L which is more or less Other headliner size. She could either play that slot or Pyramid sub.

R&L attendees at one point grow up and start attending Glastonbury. The demographic isn’t static.

We’re more than capable of getting relegated from the only league left in the world 😞

It is, cause you can only do it on the internet. Nobody has the stones to respond that way in person unless you were at a footie match and had 10 lagers in your system. Even funnier cause its grown ups acting like theyre 13 on a keyboard.

I think you’re confusing how big an act is with peoples opinion of them.

Of course the Weekend is big enough to headline, no doubt he’d also put on a great performance and he’d obviously be a great booking for that slot.

I still think his music is sterile and have absolutely no interest in him, an act having sold loads of records doesn’t automatically make them objectively good, or mean that everyone likes them, or indeed should automatically like them.

Do you automatically watch every Pyramid headliner, simply because they’ve sold a lot of records?

Just because you like them it’s extremely arrogant to then expect everyone else to have the same taste as you, especially when you’re basing your view on things like record sales. People watch Mrs browns boys in their millions and Carling is the most popular lager in the UK, it doesn’t mean I should like either of them by default simply because they’re popular with a lot of other people.

If you’d bother to read the comments properly nobody is saying the Weekend can’t or shouldn’t headline, they just don’t all have the same music taste as you, and if anything am artist having one of the most popular songs of all time should help you understand why that isn’t going to be for everyone?
