(1) the idea was to place him as an opening act for a headliner in larger venues(2) While the star headliner might tour with the show, smaller parts were often cast city-by-city.(3) He was a vaudeville headliner of growing stature when he went into radio.(4) You don't even know who the headliner is, and there's no presentation in that.(5) It's a photograph of all those warm up acts you've grumbled through as you wait for the headliner to take the concert stage.(6) In fact, he's upstaged the headliner a few times.(7) It gives comedy fans something substantial to chow down on before the headliner hits the stage.(8) The opening acts get more playing time than the headliner ?(9) ‘Yeah, and the irony is that the headliner is supposed to be the main attraction,’ agrees Lawrence.(10) Still, it's not everyday that a rock group performs a concert with an opening act that named themselves after one of the headliner 's albums.(11) If they find out you're planning to up-stage the headliners , they'll zap you double-quick.(12) The headliners tonight need no introduction and the choice of venue seemed to have put them back where they belong.(13) They motored their way behind the luxuriant tour buses of the headliners , and thought, privately, that they were living in a dream.(14) Contrary to the usual gig fodder of a support act and headliners , these legends of the indie scene have decided to do something different and head out on a joint tour.(15) With a limited number of slots on Main Stage, a lot of the musicians seen on side stages would be headliners anywhere else.(16) The audience waited for another half an hour or so after the end of the performance of the supporting act, before the headliners of the evening appeared on stage.
