I've been told this afternoon New Order will be playing so would imagine they will be Tuts Sunday. Thank Goodness!

Reliable information? I know you did mention RHCP and LCD a month ago.

[DGrant261]

Can see why LCD Soundsytem are so high given the price that would have been paid for them but any off Faithless/Major Lazer/James Bay/Jake Bugg would be much more popular with T's fanbase and better to put up against the Chilli's. Can't see LCD having a big crowd at all

There is still a chance I guess of Foals being announced for Saturday.

Calvin
Foals
Bastille

The 1975

Travis

Yeah man Chem bros will be that other radio on....... I give up.

At least that's positively ruled me going out Saturday because those headliners are absolutely shocking 

The only thing the will make me buy a ticket would be the chemical brothers

[LoveIsNoise]

SLF fantastic band. Seen them at rebellion punk fest few times 

[sisco]

No way will Foals be announced!!! Reading sharing their acts this year are had enough with Disclosure and Chillis being there

Not really any reason to hold them back now though. I think Bastille will end up subbing as there's enough acts for that day already announced who will be 3rd/4th down on Main or high Radio 1 without Bastille being added to that.

[DGrant261]

If the headliners do end up being...

• Stone Roses//INSERT RADIO 1 POP-EDM HEADLINER//Jamie XX
• Calvin Harris//The 1975//Travis
• Chillis//LCD Soundsytem//New Order

It seems like they'll have got their audience split very wrong. Chillis/LCD/NO & then Calvin/The 1975 will both be competing for the same crowd.

Also Saturday in general looks dreadfully weak

Nah, they'd be there already. Can't believe Bastille have got a sub position, well I imagine they are subbing with TLSP 3rd anyway?

[Alan_C]

So judging by last year, there seems to be around 9-10 acts a day, still TBA for the main 3 stages?

1975 will get absolutely nothing up against calvin harris and travis

Cheers. I can be confident then? I'm pinning all hopes on it now. Faithless then New Order would be a great end to the weekend.

Chilis isn't such a big deal, R&L do share headers sometimes with T.....why they didn't just announce them as an English Exclusive got only knows, it's Disclosure that's the one. If they were subbing both it wouldn't be that bad.

I quite like Saturday....minus the headers. At the minute it looks better than last years for me.....and it's only one wave of acts.

Nah, The 1975 are a really big deal so they'll pull a decent crowd even up against Calvin.

Sharing is 1 thing and to allow the Chillis, OK i accept that but it they were to have Disclosure and Foals subbing!! No chance

[Shootenanny!]

Better announcement than I expected, 17 acts who I would definitely see which is a lot more than last year's first announcement:

The Stone Roses, Courteeners, Frightened Rabbit, The Coral

Bastille, The Last Shadow Puppets, Catfish & The Bottlemen, Kaiser Chiefs, Travis, Tom Odell, Shed Seven

Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jake Bugg, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Maximo Park, Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats, FIDLAR

Not the most impressive in terms of massive acts or rare acts but still lots I would go see.

Agree with you on both parts of this.

[Alan_C]

No way can Bastille be subbing surely. Got to be someone else announced there, especially if they're sticking by the 'co-headliner' thing. I'd say I'm at 50% Biffy, 20% Foals, 20% Ellie Goulding and 10% Taylor Swift.

Oh I hadn't even noticed Ellie Goulding wasn't there. I'll go for her being announced after her Hydro gig then.

I doubt they are having a co-headliner, they didn't really have one when they said they were even.

[SilverLining]

The fucking idiots that run T's social media need hung, drawn and quartered. It's  honestly just being ran by someone's teenage daughter that Geoff Ellis was due a favour to.

I don't think they are would they have not have said they were co-headling?

And you can guarantee if they do get announced some fud at titp will think it's a good idea to put them up against the roses.

[Paul ™]

I don't think it's actually that bad compared to last few years. Not my bag most of it though.
