[ onlyconnectmoan]Really bugs me the way they always groan when it's a music question, like everything else is dead easy. [/ onlyconnectmoan]

Was thinking just the same last night - if I'm on it one day then I'll make a point of cheering when I get the music question

Weve all been watching The Young Pope

Clearly missed something somewhere but where has all the Rome/Vatican stuff come from? 

It's within the coding of the foo's current website

their website has a list of gigs/festivals in an airline departures style board.

the source code for the scrambled gig that popped up this week has "Vatican City" as the name.

I'm reminded of watching the BBC announce Peter Capaldi as the new Doctor with an unnecessary live 30 minute special full of nonsensical speculation and thinking, this is monumentally stupid but I can't stop watching.

Grohl is the new Doctor?

He'll be great at running up and down those corridors.

If this Plane is related to the Foo fighters and part of the announcement (which it very obviously looks like it will be) then they've gone to a lot of effort with their announcements so far, which is nice.

Thought someone said earlier the plane has been on site for years?

Yeah I guess so, that sort of helps build an argument as to why it isn't in Italy, surely they'd have popped a world map thing up for that?

You would expect so, unless they are announce big gigs in the UK and Italy.

On the topic of Rome  - FF's keyboardist just put this on instagram :

Not that I think there is anything to it but coincidental.. 

 

 

Yeah, I struggle to see why they would post that if connected 1.5 hours before and if to do with Italy there wouldn't be a point made of it being UK time.

It'll be the whole people believe it's Glastonbury but until confirmed it's not confirmed.

Oh I didn't read that far back, I'd just seen the article about the plane and put two and two together, ignore me then.

I have been following this thread for days now so I felt the need to make an account and share this tweet from one of Bastille:

Not sure it really helps.

[TheRedSeat]

Can other bands continue to do things to stop Bastille announcing gigs or releasing music?

Sounds like Bastille planned to make an announcement today but are pushing it back due to Foo Fighters announcing something tonight

The closer we get to 6pm the more I think nothing's gonna happen

Pretty much sums up my feelings at the moment.  Though this has been a welcome distraction from work this afternoon

The more things that do or don't happen that stop Bastille doing anything the better!

They found a dwarf inside the plane, talking backwards.

[Nobody Interesting]

I am sure somewhere I saw it was going to be 6.06pm............. but then in all of this any limited sanity I once had has vanished forever.

there's been a plane on site for years. That might be a new one, tho.

Just now, eFestivals said:

Maybe they knew the plane was already there and they've decided to use it as a prop and the basis for this whole thing? It is just the next evolution of the whole passport campaign.

Am sure someone on twitter confirm it was the plane that's kept on site between festivals.  Cant find the tweet at the mo.

Apoligies for not stumbling across it as I've randomly dived into chat over the last few days, but how do we know theres a 6pm announcement?

[EamerRed]

If you click the button that says you've got a ticket on the FF website, it shows today's date and 18:00.

[shuttlep]

in one hour we will know, 

 

 

One hour people

Neil had a dream last night and woke up screaming "6pm! 6pm! 6pm!" over and over again. 

Troubled kid, him.
