Charlatans played in a similar support role in 2019 there. I know it's all subjective, but the organisers know what they are doing, and Shed 7 and Charlatans would be nowhere near headlining this festival. I know we are off topic somewhat, but it is loosely linked to the GF Edit: I always do a quick Spotify check: James - 2.4m monthly listeners Charlatans - 0.5m monthly listeners Shed 7 - 0.3m monthly listeners Fair enough, I stand massively corrected. As a 90s indie kid I’d never have thought that, but the numbers don’t lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a 90s indie kid I’d never have thought that, but the numbers don’t lie. I went through this though process last week when watching James and thinking how good a headliner they were for the Grand Final, mainly because of their iconic songs, so id taken a bit of interest in these various bands and their numbers. Obviously it's nowhere near an exact science but it's a good indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, we don't need new bands with new music at the grand final, the whole point of them is yo help create a party atmosphere so the best band would be one with songs everyone knows, that's why James were perfect, and bands like Madness are ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstream anthems are needed, absolutely. The average person needs to have heard it. That could be a modern band with huge hits now - I'd prefer that right now as it helps to modernise us a bit, but if we go old, they have to have genuine anthems, not niche anthems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always wanted to see James so ticked that one off my list last week, they finished with that and the atmosphere was unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there’s still some stuff can continue. I’m not sure 100% sure myself, but are there actually any outdoor restrictions still in place? I thought outdoors you can do what you like, vaccinated or not - marquees, beer gardens, music concerts. Whether it’s outside stadia or in a local park, it shouldn’t matter really.

ATLANTISMAN Posted September 13 Report Share Posted September 13 Cant go wrong with a good sixties artist we had the ZOMBIES and STEVE ELLIS (Love Affair) booked for one of our radio stations summer bashes last year before covid got it cancelled (Neil Diamond maybe a little too expensive and mainly seventies anyway) Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
