Those saying "Who?" are just confirming their status as out of touch old farts. Unlike me, I'm hip to the beat daddy-oh. Blossoms are a decent band on an upward trajectory.

Good booking.

They are flavour if the month and radio 1 fern cotton and Nme types current crusty sick, but will disappear faster then either of Leighs spells in super league, alongside the likes if the kooks, razorlight, kean, snow patrol erc.

I'd still prefer Barry Gibb to sing Tragedy because it has never been more appropriate, or perhaps Ray Davies could sing dead end street...

How about - McGuinness Flint - When I'm Dead And Gone

Nah, let's have the Macc Lads.

Yeah agree with this. How about making it more diverse!

A nice bit of Jazz ? Or alternatively some Death Metal ?

Who was the headline act at the Challenge Cup Final?
Perhaps this could be one of the reasons for the drop in attendance.

Sir Gregory Bird, one of the finest actors the game has ever seen !

Spot on, perhaps even generous to stay they’ll have the same length of some of those other bands.

Whilst they’re “current” their songs really aren’t suited to a 70,000 stadium sports event in the slightest even if loads of the people going knew who they were, but take into account they won’t then they’ll probably get the least response a band has had at the Grand Final.

It was Feeder in 2016, Charles did a dj set also just like Spoony in 2015.

Charlatans were in 2015, James 2014 and Razorlight 2017.

To be fair they've been at it a few years now, about 2 years commercially, but I agree with you on the disappearing thing. They'll have probably sunk without trace by the start of the next decade.

After the massive PR from super league all over social media about the massive announcement, I was expecting some one like, 30 seconds to mars, arcade fire or Kanye West. Why big something up so utterly underwhelming. Never heard of them and I know my music so I had to google them and they are obviously just another 3 chord wonder band like all the other flavour of the month indie bands that will end up in obscurity

If you’re going to come up with alternative suggestions at least make them good ones.
