First, damn that is an enormous tour. Second, saw The Weeknd for the first time at Voodoo Friday and he is a legit live performer. Third, in a top line of RHCP - The Weeknd - Kings of Leon, The Weeknd is 100% the best live show of those three. Fourth, that top three isn't good enough for me to return.
Friday
What - Future > The Weeknd
Which Pre HL - Beck
LN Tents - Megadeth, D.R.A.M., DJ Mustard
LN Which - none
Saturday
What - Foals > Kings of Leon
Which Pre HL - Anderson.paak
LN Which - Major Lazer
LN Tents - A$AP Rocky, Big Gigantic, Umphrey's McGee
I know you're right, I just can't believe Kings of Leon is still relevant enough to headline a festival. I forgot they headlined Firefly.
Sia would probably be a #3 now
You would just have to imagine they have at least one female act in the top 10 though right? Lorde? Sia? They bump Tove Lo like they did Halsey? They've had 2 female acts in the top 10 the last 2 years (Ellie & Haim and Florence & Alabama Shakes)

U2 and The Weeknd are possibly more expensive, this will sell tickets for sure, but they couldn't afford Arcade Fire, Muse, or another act like that with those two acts. Kings of Leon or Killers would most likely fill that third spot(cheaper number threes). We will see how this affects the undercard, but Roo needs to sell tickets and this is a good way for them to rebound.
I don't see how U2 and the Weeknd get roo back to 80k tickets. Sure, probably higher than 45 (I'm thinking 65k), but the Weeknd has been everywhere and old white guys don't sell tickets to molly munching millennials

U2 doesnt really fall into the sect of "old white guy". they're a massive band with a much wider appeal than billy joel or dead and co. They only need 1 millennial appealing headliner and The Weeknd only played 2 fests (was booked for 3) in 2016. He would sell very well, especially with a new album.

You could make the argument that U2 is the biggest band in the world. The appeal is there. Plus, The Weeknd is probably only behind Beyoncé, Adele and Drake in terms of pop artist popularity right now.
U2 playing an American festival would sell like crazy. Other headliners wouldn't even matter that much as long as they weren't complete shit. Still doubt they are going to be there though.

As of 2014 both Kings of Leon and the Killers were both a fair bit more expensive than Arcade Fire or Muse. 400-500k vs. 150k

No one here is saying KoL isn't happening, of course they're likely. But a mention of U2 just sparked an interesting conversation because it's the fucking headliner thread. We discuss possible headliners here. I personally don't think it will happen but it's for sure worth a conversation.
That being said, RHCP - Arcade Fire - The Weeknd
Did none of you really get what I was saying? Forget that I used KoL as an example. Slot in Zac Brown Band or Dave Matthews or whatever shitty act you want to pretend Reddit claims is playing. Now, when that happens (when Reddit says shitty acts are playing), everyone here dismisses them outright, as they should. But when Reddit says something people want to hear (U2 is headlining! RADIOHEAD LAST MINUTE SEEKRIT ADDITION!!!), suddenly everyone is like "well, maybe we should think about that a bit." It's just funny.
You did the exact same thing last year with Calvin Harris and Coachella. Of course people want to ignore/try to dismiss rumors they don't like and foolishly try to buy into ones they like. Who cares?

Because we discuss shitty bands all the time. We enjoy discussing U2, because it isn't the same shit and it sure as hell isnt ranking. We aren't discussing them because we think this unknown Reddit user is dropping hot scoopz.
I think we're all just desperately hoping that The Weeknd and Kings of Leon aren't 2 of our top 3. And if they are, that the number 1 is an impressive booking, but the chances of that seem to be dropping by the day. At least if it's RHCP I'll have no qualms about abandoning the sinking ship

Most of us are a-ok with The Weeknd booking. Great performer, fills in a pop slot, and moves tickets. KoL would be a weak booking, but hey, can't win them all.
