On Stage #2 - Your place in the lineup
2. "Headlining," at a local level, is a nice way to say "you're going last." If everyone at the club isn't there to see your band, "headlining" means you're playing to the few remaining people who'll stick around for the last band... and your set may be interrupted by Last Call announced over the PA. If everyone at the show really is there to see you, then you are a genuine headliner: it's the honorable move for you to not make the lesser-known band play to the few remaining people who stuck around after you finished.
Even limited to my experiences, this list is nowhere near complete. I planted it as one of the first pages when I began this blog with the very first handful of points from the quickest surface skim of my gray matter. It will continue to grow.
