Could just be nothing but with big fests their social media activity seems to die down before an announcement. I know we've said it past couple of weeks but fully expecting one this week!! They are maybe just defeated by the 'LINEUP?' replies to every bullshit tweet they make about xmas trees or sprouts. But yes, still think this week is very possible, but if not we can forget it til the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it as they're bombarded with the same tweets saying 'ANNOUNCE ARCTIC MONKEYS' as soon as it gets to mid November every single year and it hasn't really affected them in the past. Agreed.

RarerThanDandyB Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Definitely not happening but the nostalgia if Snow Patrol played, after being being announced for multiple festivals. Just Say Yes, Chocolate, Chasing Cars and Crack the Shutters though the youth of today will never have heard a majority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Arcade Fire's new dates just made them super unlikely, I reckon. My reasoning being that if they were to stay in Europe after the Scandinavian festivals they'd have to fill the time with stuff like Pukkelpop, Sziget, Gampel, Frequency and Lowlands. They've just announce summer dates (below) that cancel out four of those, and the other one - Pukkelpop - could be accounted for by the Belgian show they play in April. So I reckon those chances are done for. Sad but I dunno why I got my hopes up anyway. I guess the routing can still leave the door open for them to headline Bestival but Arcade Fire are likely out of their reach now, could've been announced today alongside other European dates and also the arena shows in UK more than make up for no festival dates.

Mattymooz Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Also, Sziget just postponed their announcement too (which was supposed to come out tomorrow). Kinda weird if R+L postpone too. I'm guessing either a headliner has dropped out from doing them all (RIP foos or kendrick) or a new headliner is now available to them that they wanna sign (AM?)

chickenfire Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Arcade Fire are headlining Way Out West in Sweden (9-11 August) so there’s still a chance of them still being around for Reading and Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't an August festival hint at them not long ago? Can't remember which festival it was or how definite it was that it was Arcade Fire, though.

It's like the 11th August or something - one of the Scandinavian festivals I mentioned just then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suuure you "found" this. TBH, that Friday on the mainstage looks pretty much ideal (even if it is 3 acts too many). Swap the top 2 for the saturday NME and ditch cabbage and we'd be set lol Also hadnt even noticed NBT thieves there considering they are also headlining the FR stage on the same day apparently lol (which actually is a pretty realistic idea tbh, like The Hunna did last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
