Or in the crowd tbh. (I went once, in 91)

Remember seeing 50 Cent getting bottled off in 2004 and deciding this probably wasnā€™t the thing for me so didnā€™t go again.

Do 14 year olds still like Fall Out Boy and Kings of Leon? Isnā€™t that a bit like kids from the 90s liking hair metal?

27

not really sure. FOB have a new album out; no idea how itā€™s performing with the kids. They joint headlined with Biffy just 2 years ago and drew a reasonable but hardly significant crowd.

28

iā€™d never have guessed fall out boy as a headliner this year

they were never big enough to headline when emo was a big mainstream thing, so why now?

29

dua lipa and sum 41 would be an incredibly funny run to see but Iā€™m almost 30 ffs
there are no teenagers who like sum 41

Getting annoyed at this though is like that NME thread. Sure it was good once but its changed to appeal to a broader demographic. Im sure when Blur headlined in 2001 , people who went to Reading in 1990 were shaking their heads

yeah, me neither, I thought itā€™d be Kendrick, Paramore, The 1975/Arctic Monkeys/Foo Fighters. especially as they did it 2 years ago. They had a lot of explosions and fire on stage from memory; maybe thatā€™s what the kids these days want - I guess The PotUSA were right.

I made a playlist featuring each of the acts to get hyped for how much fun Iā€™m going to have

Mate. That falloutboy record is one of the worst things Iā€™ve ever heard. You might want to remove that off of the playlist.

itā€™s my song of the year!

I know itā€™s just a number but youā€™re the 8th wonder! itā€™s amazing

Enjoy Pendulum, etc.

Fall Out Boy completely reinvented themselves as some shithouse Black Eyed Peas of rock music when they came back a few years ago - sampling massive songs and just generally being even more awful than they were the first time round. They got fuckloads of Radio 1 play out of it though so now theyā€™re probably bigger than ever.

Iā€™m old but somehow there are bands on there that were shit when I was a teenager. Who the fuck is going to see Papa Roach and Sum 41 in 2018.

Is ā€˜Netsky B2B Jauz B2B Slushiiā€™ a typo? Seems like what you might end up with if you put your elbow on the keyboard by mistake.

Yeah, your standard indie/rock dj is still firmly rooted in 2005/6 if not earlier.
