Lumineers have one record with one current hit single. I'm saying that means they don't belong in the top 10 billing of one of the country's biggest music festivals.

RHCP equal to Petty? I don't even know how to respond to that. Anyway, just as a reminder, here's the Mumford Which Stage crowd (on the right) from 2011:
Ah, no, somehow skipped over that part, although it's made up for in spades with the Coachella HL comparison.
paul mccartney >>blur/stone roses Phoenix>>>>>>>>> Mumford RHCP = Petty

From a purely objective standpoint, Blur/Stone Roses is a rarer combination (even one of them would be rarer) especially for North America where neither of them have had any scheduled shows for the at least a decade.
But why does it always have to be a comparison? All three of them will put on must see shows.

They're platinum bro, platinum.
What kind of mutant do you have to be to look at that bill and complain about where ONE band is on the lineup.

Well, they have two singles ("Stubborn Love"), and I'm pretty sure Flowers In Your Hair charted as well.
Sharpe has two records (WAY ahead of the Lumineers) and only one single that charted to my knowledge.
Sharpe leveled off, they're a fun band and they'll have a good show with a good crowd, but you're brain damaged if you think their crowd will be bigger than the Lumineers' crowd this year.

Just saying I think Roo should wait and see if someone is a one-hit wonder before putting a band near the top of a line-up.
So defensive. I love Roo too. I've been three years in a row.
It's probably not all up to Roo though. The rest of the festival market will dictate it to a certain extent, and I am sure their booking agent has certain demands on the range of where they will be. If it comes down to booking a band that is red hot right now at #11 or not booking them at all, they are going to put them at #11.

I'm sorry, I just don't get your argument. You bottled up your moral indignation when Foster the People was in the top 10 last year, or (ironically) Mumford in 11? But this year the outrage of the Lumineers being billed higher than Ed Sharpe is just too much?
Btw, the "the Lumineers suck Ed Sharpe is way better" is the argumentative equivalent of "shiz tastes better when you drink it through a straw."
Are you guys trying to tell me that Mumford had a big crowd in 2011?
I DONT BELIEVE IT THEY'LL NEVER BE A REAL HEADLINER TO ME
The bad thing is that they have nowhere to go from here. I remember when The Black Keys were playing fests every year. I guess that's a luxury of gaining headliner status. You get to take time off the road, doing less shows for a bigger payday.

Or, you know, release a new album and collect some awards...

Excuse me sir. Are you completely unaware of Patrick's fantastic trolling of Bieber fans?

I do believe most times popularity generates awards, especially with the Grammy's.

I guess so. I've read about him trolling several different acts.

So what is your point exactly? You wonder where Mumford can go from here by citing a band who played festivals in 2011, won Grammys in 2012, and are going back to play multiple festivals again in early 2013.

Just a response to mc's joke. I think it's a bit early for Mumford to be headlining Bonaroo too even though they are a big enough draw. The Black Keys were just one of my favorite bands who I enjoyed being able to catch at the fests I went to at least every other year. But it gets old after awhile seeing the same band, so congrats to them on their success.
Don't read the comments, you'll get sucked right in.
Man this whole thing is so dumb. The Black keys think they're so much fucking better than all these other mainstream acts and they really aren't. This douche shouldn't of started this in the first place, and making fun of 13 year old girls over the internet for liking a pop star is a low point in anyone's life. He's a loser.
