Jericode Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Feel like Busted are out as an option (if they even were one), just announced a load of July/August dates and don't see why they wouldn't have waited until Wednesday if they were doing this too.

I’d hate for them to play myself. It would sell out on them alone and the crowds for the rest of the headliners would massively suffer. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gejonimo Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Just realised that it's the 25th anniversary of The Shape of Punk To Come in a couple of days - Refused headlining a stage would go down a right treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacred shape Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Electric Callboy said they're coming back next year (last night in Leeds). Think they've got a good chance at subbing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 You Me At Six (Take Off Your Colours) Electric Callboy Funeral For A Friend That’s my guess at the biggest three headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Gonna go Avril Lavigne and Electric Callboy as headliners with I Prevail subbing and YMAS headlining the same stage Neck Deep did a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 They headlined Trees and then subbed the year after and that's half the size, I'm sure they would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to Michu Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 I Prevail would headline over Electric Callboy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 There’s no way YMAS are as big as Enter Shikari or The Offspring, surely not? That would be a poor main headliner. If I Prevail and EC is too strong then just I Prevail for the heavier stage then. Wouldn’t be impressed with I Prevail and YMAS as headliners for a day ticket that’ll be over £100 though. Think we should be expecting something bigger for that price, even R&L/Download day tickets are a similar price and you’d have got Slipknot/BMTH/Metallica & Billie Eilish recently.

YM@6 are about the same as Shikari, both do small arenas/large academies like Shikari. Actually don't think that Shikari has sold well as they haven't even managed to sell out standing for any of it's shows yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is the same as your previous track record for calling bands lol. If YM@6 and I Prevail are the the two headliners they can definitely keep their money. For £100 that is outrageously weak and sh*t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't for ages, they are a large academy band these days using arenas as cheaper. Only a couple on here think they are bigger than they are.

Download and r&l capacity is way bigger so £100 day tickets and selling 60000 tickets allows them to book those bands over SD that’s around 20k I believe? Still hoping for ADTR, YMAS are a weak main headliner. They’ve headlined in the past when the fest was much much smaller (I mean it was £37 a ticket that year, for all those bands and stages is mental) and they were at there peak with them doing a co-headline arena tour with All Time Low the same year.

I get that but if you’re able to go see Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy at R&L and Download next summer with probably bigger supporting acts than you’re going to choose to do that than pay a similar price for YMAS. They’re gonna have to have a stacked undercard for them to charge that for a headliner you’d pay £30-40 to see at their own show. I feel at this stage they need to be getting arena bands/big tour bands to headline that people will pay £50-60 to see. I think I was just expecting Avril so to get YMAS would be a poor showing as I did want to do Slam Dunk next year and hoping for a bit more but it’s becoming almost as expensive as a whole weekend at Glastonbury or Download to do 1 day with travel and accommodation, that along with the issues they always seem to have - queuing may put me off but I want it to succeed as it’s independent and is the music I like, weird for an independent but sometimes it feels like a corporate money grabbing affair. Let’s hope for a strong first announcement. Anyone know what time it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
