Reply to comment by trashwizzard3000 in Musicians: If you are a headliner then play the headlining spot. by biingcherry_

What qualifies you as a "headliner" as opposed to a "touring band who's coming through to play this event".

Edit: *?. This is a question.

That’s a good question tbh. Our name was always the biggest on the flyer, our following online in comparison to the local bands was 10x, and in general it was just thought of as “these are the guys bringing the crowd”. The local bands were good and def helped bring in people, no doubt. But, it was always a bummer when we would see everyone lines up to get in, and our set would start at something crazy like 12:45 or 1. Half the crowd was gone by then, or drunk 😂

Honestly, the only difference is if people showed up and stayed for the show.

Exactly

They may have showed up for the much more known band, and had to leave because it got so late. Just my experience from touring almost 300 days a year for 5 years. Is what it is!
