PM2010 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Apologies if there is already a topic on this but I couldn't find one. I went to the festival last year, it had an interesting line-up and was quite fun. Does anyone have any rumours on this year? I'm not planning on going again this year but if the bands are good then I could reconsider. I remember Buzzenseine was useful, is he still around?

mrtourette Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) According to www.buzzenseine.fr the rumours are Radiohead, Placebo, The Black Keys, The Cure, Green Day and Sigur Ros, although my French isn't what it used to be so I don't know how legit they are.

dublinminx Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Blur are also another rumour. Rock en Seine themselves said an announcement due in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 looking at this as an alternative for leeds weekend as im not convinced leeds will be a good lineup, and its nice and cheap. Not much info on there website so any info would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 The two share a lot of bands so the line-up won't be completely different to R&L. Of course they may be a number of bands that make it better than R&L but depending on your taste there could be a number of bands that make it worse.

But a few days before fest in paris has a better sound to it than leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 lol that's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzenseine Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 a very wrong one then. They ain't playing. Why ? Are they only doing shows until Hyde Park ? Otherwise, Mark Lanegan self confirmed for Rock en Seine this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Why ? Are they only doing shows until Hyde Park ? when I made that post I was working on the basis of the Hyde Park press release being true when it said that it was their only major show this year. That's been proven incorrect since, with other dates having been announced outside the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 We have been told by a reliable source that Green Day, Placebo and the Black Keys will play. I'd believe it. It'll mean no Placebo for R&L though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryce Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Green Day Placebo Sigur Ros Noel Gallacher Black Keys Foster The People Mark Lanegan very good first announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 quite good, especially the black keys, mark l., sigur ros...and noel of course but was kind of hoping for at the drive in as they are also playing R&L. green day will probably be a headliner so thats kinds shite, enough other bands touring in Europe at that time... will probably be going after 2004, 2007 and 2008, it's the 10th anniversary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 at the drive in could still play ...so keep your hopes up and i think its Green Days first announced show in europe ... so that will shift loads of tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueballslagoon Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thinking of heading to this as have to see Sigur Ros and Placebo this summer. Can someone tell me if anything goes on after the music acts finish as have heard it can be quite dull after hours. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Operator Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 there's already a thread in which I posted tonnes of info on this festival but I'm too lazy to search but it's def here somewhere. green day? come oooooooon their prime was over 10 years ago, american idiot was a nice idea and a nice buy, but...green day...naaaaaar red hot chili peppers would've been nicer, they're also playing rock im pott (1-day festival) in Germany that weekend together with placebo. we'll see who else gets announced...
