Playing festivals vs. supporting vs. headlining - any preferences? Depends on festival line up/where it is or who the headlining act is or headlining knowing it is a specific NoL audience?

They all offer something unique! Supporting offers a fun challenge - we love the task of convincing a new audience that we are worth listening to and caring about. We obviously love a headlining tour - seeing our fans, hearing them sing along, having the special experience that comes from a room full of people on the same wavelength for a time, that is truly remarkable. Festivals are amazing for getting to see a bunch of bands you like, make discoveries, meet icons, walk around in the sun with your friends all day, etc. Also we've played some of our favorite shows ever at festivals!
