the wonderwhy Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 That'd be massively disappointing if it were those two. Not sure they'd go for Stereophonics a year after IOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted January 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yep - Stereophonics a year after IOW. Elbow playing Bournemouth in March. Which I still consider relatively local for a 'bigger' act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'm hoping it is then two as after the Friday night announcement I'm hoping to skip it now this year and possibly get a day in each at Leeds and Cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roaminginthegloaming Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Loved the last two years and has became "my thing" now. Two years ago was amazing and although not quite as good, last year was still very good. I'm holding out hope for New Order this year and Arcade Fire(I know I know but I'm allowed to dream). I do think we will; see Suede and possible Human League this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 If they want to grow this festival Elbow isn't going to cut the mustard, not whatsoever. Stereophonics have mass appeal, despite them not being the biggest band anymore they still have a massive following and do big shows, they could easily headline. But Elbow are too much of a narrow fanbase, I thought this year was all about growing the festival with it going three days and adding camping as well as the price going up, only way I can see it being Elbow is if castle stage has someone really decent opposite. They should go for Weller still IMO and Elbow as sub. Madness/Weller/Phonics is a good package who would target same audience and sell well. Then something for the young uns on second stage Looking at Kendell, I wouldn't be shocked to see Franz Ferdinand turn up at some point over the weekend too.

Then something for the young uns on second stage Elbow got a huge crowd when they headlined Latitude, but do admit that was 5 years ago now, and on the back of what was then their biggest album (Their next album went to number 1). If the new album goes top 5, then there's probably a good likelihood they will headline at least one midsize festival this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanz25 Posted January 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'd hazard a guess Friday. They have had a trend of either Monday or Friday for previous announcements. But then I could be completely wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Elbow have announced themselves for Puckelpop which means the Victorious info is quite likely to be true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I was fairly sure anyone but that's confirmed I won't be going, barely worth the early bird at £25 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Happy enough with that initial line up, guess the next chunk with be april. We havent any second stage headliners there yeah?
