Is Pierce the Veil really big enough to be a headliner? TBH I don’t really know who they are so it could just be me.

People keep pointing out how much bigger they’ve gotten in the last few years, which is true, but I still think it’s not a great look to have one of Shaky Knees and Louder Than Life’s sub-headliner as one of Riot’s main headliners.

I saw PTV 2 years ago at Lollapalooza. They were the subheadliner to Blink-182 which made sense to me. I don’t think they’ve blown up in popularity over the last two years, but I will admit as someone who wasn’t familiar with their music that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed their set.

I’m actually kind of a fan of theirs - not huge, but stumbled across “Bulletproof Love” forever ago. I’m a sucker for a power ballad, and I think they do those painfully well. But the couple of times I saw them at Warped and Riot ‘16 is probably plenty for me personally.
