Also is Katy Perry definitely headlining the main stage, heard it mentioned on Radio 1 once but haven't seen it since. I'm hoping Kendrick shows up! Royal Blood's tour dates this morning are near the dates of the Big Weekend.... although having said that they're in the Netherlands a couple of days before and then the US a couple of days after so it would be a lot of travelling! Also, Harry Styles? Despite him only having one debut single out very recently. Edited April 18, 2017 by oscs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) Kendrick's schedule is clear so it's possible. Looking at the other fests KOL are a part of, I'd expect Macklemore, Imagine Dragons, Justin Bieber, Liam Gallagher and then the likes of Rag'n'Bone Man, James Arthur and Clean Bandit as well. No indication from tour dates but I'd expect Kasabian and Lorde because of new albums. Harry Styles probably a good shout too, yeah.

Kasabian down the bottom, Katy Perry who is likely to be 3rd at Glastonbury headlining above Biffy who are 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah even by Big Weekend standard things like the Kasabian placement and Royal Blood playing seventh down on the second stage are peculiar.

dentalplan Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Regretting not rolling the dice on Saturday un peut because of all the Lana. I'll live though. What on EARTH is Plan B doing there, and headlining the second stage? Did he not fall off the face of the Earth or has he been doing plenty unbeknownst to me?

Yeah I found that very weird - he's been talking about releasing his next album for years now and still nothing so I'd assumed everybody had totally forgotten about him. Gotta assume they've heard his new stuff and deemed him worthy of such a slot, or assumed people are eager for his comeback (are they?!)

"I wonder when Plan B will come back" is something I've never heard or read. I suppose R1BW is as good a place as any to use as a platform. Just thankful he hasn't landed high on any festival bills that I care about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are, he has one pretty alright album....then the next release failed! He was awesome at Glastonbury on Pyramid though. Also featured on one of the best C&S songs from their debut.....before they went to shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to #1 and was nominated for the Mercury Prize.

I always thought the term 'Plan B' was named after him reinventing himself as a soul singer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
