Phoenix paces well with sales and are obviously respected, but they aren't quite famous enough to headline...yet. In four months, though, anything can happen.
Allow me to put and end to this thread:
NO, they're not.
^
thank you.
This is a silly question.
1) No one knows when the next time they'll play
2) No one knows what success they will have when the time comes
But if they're on the lineup this year (which I highly doubt) they will most certainly NOT headline
Phoenix drew a bigger crowd than Jigga
...that's ether
haha fair enough. not to thread jack into a KOL thread but seriously that band is neither as good or as bad as people say. they're an alright band that somehow became massive. happens all the timeQuote:

I was wondering where i would be able to discuss every over rated band in America. Here it is!
What do you guys think of Matt and Kim?!
Arcade Fire sold out the Bowl on a co-headlining tour with LCD Soundsystem. Phoenix sold out the Bowl this year with Grizzly Bear opening. Vampire Weekend sold out the Bowl this year with Beach House opening. The latter two did so despite also playing Coachella earlier this year.Quote:

They are now.
Obviously the answer is hell no. I sure hope the Arcade Fire uproar/nonsense dies down before they set the line-up and make them headliners.
did vampire weekend really sell it out? it must have happened at the last minute because i remember checking several times as it got close and tickets in the first promenade kept popping upQuote:

Nailed it on the first page.Quote:

No, they are not headliner material right now. If their next album is as successfull as this one, then yes. They could probably headline Coachella. There. Done.

Doubt it, obvs im not that aware of the american market but i still cant see it.
Hopefully if Daft Punk headline then they'll come on for the encore ;)
So it happened. A year later than I thought it would, but it happened.
Earned it.
Greatest thread bump ever. The forum never lies
oh well. saturday is so stacked anyways so this is kind of a relief.
