Headliners 2016

[Beach Buggy Fan]

The DJ on absolute just said there's no announcement from them, they don't know where the rumours have come from.

Absolute Radio announced they dont know anything and are waiting for an announcement! This is good news, I can go back to 6 Music.

its all good mate us saddo's here will keep you updated if absolute announce anything

[EamerRed]

I was originally told 6 Music this morning, so was surprised when everyone banged on about Absolute. Could all be BS for all I know but let's wait and see.

You have to be kidding, Lee!

I will confess to being almost completely an undercard man, since my taste in music rarely finds me interested in headliners at 'big' festivals. 

But, The National aside, and on the basis that New Order are nailed on for Other, that initial Latitude undercard is incredibly dull and unexciting. Whereas, given the way that the other festivals' line-ups have panned out so far, I am worried that this GF will be my worst ever festival for clashes. It could be a stellar line-up below Pyramid headliners...

What I was trying to say - only said much better.

Christ Eamer, I’ve been hanging my hat on you actually having some info, not just reading the internet rumours.

I piped up about this before it was all over the Internet. Wait and see. Something is happening today I'm just not sure where!

The Jess Glynne supergroup?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Thom Yorke, Chris Martin and Tokyo Sexwhale from off of the Muse to merge together into one treble-headed entity, like that knight in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Not necessarily so. The article is from yesterday, the article refers to the wrong Twitter journalist and the Mani comment is a joke.

[stixmcvix]

I'm not buying it. This has been one pig PR coup for Stone Roses in any case.

[mungo57]

if they ARE announcing today they've left it a bit late haven't they?

I have half hour left at work then I can fuck off, go home, open my first beer, roll my first herbal cigarette and then sit listening to the radio waiting for nothing to happen..... I don't know why I am getting so hyped about this its infuriating!

As a huge Roses fan, I am slightly worried. I don't see how it can be anywhere near as good as that first album in all honesty.

It does not have to be as good as the first one. There are not many bands, if any that make albums as good as that 1st one.

I am hoping for the Stone Roses. that would be massive

 

alas I fear their news will be a new album

I would rather a new album than a Glastonbury appearance. In regards to new music today, my one tentative link to the Roses has said the rumours about today are a load of bollocks. Just to add, there WILL be new music at some point, but not today.

It's going against Adele....it's likely to be that big anyway.

They will get a bigger crowd with Adele headlining than they would with The Roses doing it.

I’m no PR guru but I’m guessing that Friday afternoon isn’t the optimum time of the week to make an announcement.

 

Calling shenanigans on the story.

that's what we were saying last week and then bam, Muse

[robalotalob]

If it is BS then why would Absolute radio (a credible station with Noel G on their books) say they have an announcement?

The Roses do not really operate the same way as everyone else. They never have and I doubt they will start playing the game any time soon.

Just seen this on twitter

Depends. Weekends are dead time for news so if something big gets announced on a Friday it's likely to stay a headline until the Mobday

Well I hope its true even if it means I look a right goon (nothing new there) for saying there will be no new tunes today.
