1. It's quite possible that the headliner hasn't got a clue who you are. Back stage areas are often awash with people: Sound tech's, lighting tech's, stage crew, liggers and family and friends. Unless you have a great big sign above your head saying, "I'm in the support band". How the hell are they supposed to know?
2. Just because headline acts often play to thousands, doesn't make them any less shy about approaching total strangers.
3. Maybe a headline act is unable to watch the support band - [b]perhaps they have to eat [/b][u][/u]- perhaps they like a bit of peace and quiet before their show - or maybe they're just knackered and need to lay down somewhere.
4. How many of you bemoaning the "arrogant" "Up themselves" headliners have actually done the approaching and said "Hi, I'm ?????, I'm in the support band. Looking forward to your set" or similar?..yeah, thought not.
Of course you get the odd a***hole who just doesn't want to be friendly, that's life, but if [u]you[/u] say "Hi" to someone, there's more than a good chance that they'll say "Hi" back.
