3rd Headliner

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Major Lazer would be much better headlining the Port on the Thursday night. (If it's on Thursday?)

[Zacko]

I could see them doing the main stage in a headline slot just about - Ezra from Vampire Weekend, Bruno Mars, Shaggy and a load more guest on the new album, bring them our for guest slots - maybe even Snoop as Diplo did the Snoop Lion thing? That sorta thing....

I dunno, I doubt they will but it'd be great - better than C&S I think.

For the last bloody time, Damon Albarn is in Berlin on the Friday with Blur, so no Gorillaz & no Blur . Scissor Sisters would be a repeat & if RDB is going down that route, I doubt they'd be his first choice.

Diplo & Skrillex? http://www.nme.com/news/skrillex/70067

[monkey1989]

Pet Shop Boys ?

[monkey1989]

PJ HARVEY

Big enough?

Would be a very nice surprise

[kaosmark2]

Played further down only 2 years ago.

[weirdfish]

this announcement is taking long

[GuitarManDan15]

Just get george benson to do it. A friday night boogie to give me the night and never give up on a good thing sounds fucking ace to me!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Vampire weekend's new album is brilliant. Seriously hoping it is them now & not Chase & Status.

[monkey1989]

I'd take pretty much anyone over c&s , I just can't stand them , normally I'm the if I don't like it there's plennnny more to see and do around the festival person but it would annoy me them being there and that someone actually paid them haha .

I need to give vampire weekends new one a listen

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I agree, Chase & Status would be a lazy booking, which is the main reason I hope it isn't them.

Lionel Richie is playing Austin City Limits festival, granted it's a month later & in the States, but how brilliant would Lionel be (not as the last headliner) for a sunny evening main stage sing along.

[Paul ™]

Would Vampire Weekend be described as an Extravaganza?

I reckon it's not actually going to be one single headliner, and more of a mish mash of artists (probably dance genre) doing some massive birthday party thing

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Isn't the birthday party thing on the Thursday night though?

[Gucci Piggy]

Atoms For Peace maybe? Before they jet off to the States? I do think it'll be Chase and Status, just throwing names out there.

[the wonderwhy]

I reckon Atoms For Peace would be risky. They've got the whole summer to perfect their set though, I guess.

The album sucked pretty hard tbh...

[Gucci Piggy]

Not actually listened to it yet. I liked Default and Judge, Jury, Executioner but I heard bad things about the album.

[Paul ™]

The AFP album is brilliant, give it a few listens.

Am looking forward to seeing them

[the wonderwhy]

Disappointed me massively. The singles were alright the rest just... naff.

[hoils]

Extravaganza is an word to use for a single band.

So my money's on Major Lazer before a joint headline of C&S and Example, Example playing last.

Mind you, I wouldn't refer to that as an extravaganza either.

Dolly, Tom Waits and Diana Ross - now that's an extravaganza.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

That would be truly awful. I'm holding out for Major Lazer for the Thursday night. C&S would be bad enough, but Example should stay the fuck away.

As for Dolly, Tom Waits & Diana Ross, where do I sign up!?
