    It does seem like a stretch, but there are people talking about Bastille as a Reading coheadliner so I guess if Bastille could do Community it wouldnt be that much of a stretch for Foals to do it? 

    Bastille are about the top end of what you can expect for Community, and they’re not headlining Reading or Leeds any time soon.

    What about those bands that are in another festivals but haven't been announced yet?

     

    Alice In Chains / Architects (i guess they will surely play) / Within Temptation / Godsmack / As I Lay Dying / Dropkick Murphys / Slayer (guess will play too)

    Papa Roach are at Greenfield. They'll surely be added.

    Possibly. But Nick Cave/Patti Smith are the same generation. 

    That's true, but I think Nick Cave, at least, is a bit more trendy nowadays. And there's just something about it where I can't really imagine New Order having been at the top of any of the bills this year. Whereas the likes of KC and Victorious have drawn crowds where it's Hooky and/or Hacienda Classical playing New Order songs. Just my instinct really, it has been wrong many times recently.

    Did @eFestivals ever reply to your post asking about his BMTH info? Cause obviously if he has heard about them doing APE I'd have to swap them in for someone - probably old Cliff Byrne.

    Nah. If they were hypothetically playing APE Presents then it won't be announced until they sell out their second Ally Pally. But I think we'll know by then one way or the other.

    I can’t see Portishead playing it next year, think Geof Barrow will just keep going with Beak.

    As an aside he comes across as a right miserable bastard on twitter

    Nah he's a top one.

    New Order?

    I kinda think they'll be next on Broadwick Live's radar. Doing all the Y Not's and Kendals and such. I think they might be a generation above All Points East.

  5. Can only add NIN. Maybe Black Keys if they come back ever, and on a similar note I still think Bombay Bicycle Club could headline the festival off of a reunion. AEG are soooo rich though, we could be really surprised at who they summon.

    I'm thinking VW, Disclosure and pottos head for the fest, and Strokes, Pumpkins and Byrne for APE Presents. Was thinking earlier about switching Byrne and Foals but fook it.

    One of my mates can't go to Underworld at WHP next Friday so if anyone wants to buy his ticket hmu tonight. I'll put it on twickets tomorrow otherwise. 

    Off to see The Rasmus tonight, as uncool as that would have been ages ago never mind in 2018. They were one of my very very favourite bands from the age of about 8 to 14 so I'm expecting a top night tbh. Can't beat nostalgia.

    Six years? They were my fave band for about a month when In the Shadows was on Kerrang! TV*. How do you put six years into them? Have a good time anyway.

    *when it was first on, I mean - it's probably still on there.

    TBF if James can play an hour set with just one song people actually know then anything can happen.

    James' second most well known song is more established than any of The Bloc Party's catalogue, make no mistake.

    But yea, all the acts to have played the Other opener slot so far are types you could imagine warming the crowd at a mid-sized family festival or Radio 2 in Hyde Park. Bloc Party, while similarly past their heyday, are not that band.

    Dental, you’ll know: what’s happened to Claire Boucher?

    She’s not in orbit in a Tesla Roadster is she?

    No, she escaped Mark Corrigan.

    She collaborates with a bunch of artists nowadays but isn't seemingly bringing anything out herself. Guessing it's down to problems with her record label, because she's had those forever. Features on the new Bring Me The Horizon album, which is bad news for people who love good music.

    He's more or less called Roasthard Ashcroft. It's not so much a name as an instruction.

    Even Clumbo got in on the act the other day, apparently burning a copy of the NME with himself on the cover - which, in practice, is figuratively and almost literally a self-burn.

    This is what I got. Could do with a bit of shuffle here and there but you get the idea.

    Friday
    Py: Lady Gaga, The Streets, Iggy Pop, Anderson .Paak. Bombay Bicycle Club, Idles, Salif Keita
    OS: Aphex Twin, Jamie xx, Giggs, Blossoms, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Courtney Barnett, AJ Tracey, Confidence Man, Bloc Party
    WH: Alabama Shakes, Jorja Smith, Young Fathers, Laura Mvula, Ibeyi
    JP: The Vaccines, Editors, Beach House, Dave, Honne
    Pa: Jarvis Cocker, Sophie

    Saturday
    Py: The Cure, Liam Gallagher, Dua Lipa, Solange, Billy Ocean, Kamasi Washington, Joan Armatrading
    OS: Lana Del Rey, Weezer, Years & Years, The Wombats, Anne-Marie, Tom Grennan, Miles Kane, Maggie Rogers, Nina Nesbitt
    WH: Groove Armada, Chaka Khan, Tom Misch, Blood Orange, Fatouma Diawara
    JP: Christine & the Queens, Mura Masa, Vince Staples, Pale Waves, Car Seat Headrest
    Pa: Bicep LIVE, Django Django

    Sunday
    Py: Paul McCartney, Lauryn Hill, George Ezra, Kylie Minogue, Tash Sultana, Greta Van Fleet, Kate Tempest
    OS: Disclosure, Jess Glynne, Tom Odell, Brockhampton, Leon Bridges, Sigrid, Fickle Friends, The Magic Gang, Estrons

    Some nice acts for sure, although they're almost completely avoiding The Park and the Other Stage. Also think Orbital and Groove Armada both headlining WH would be a bit stodgy.

    I know a lot of people have Bloc Party opening the other stage but surely they’re one of the few with a chance of Headlining it?

    Nah they'd be somewhere about 3rd or 4th down. I don't think they're a suitable opener though; I know they're past their best but they aren't really canonical with James, Charlatans, Pretenders or even Kaisers.

    I see that the 'fork has unsurprisingly gone to town on Greta Van Vleet in a way that would cause that hippie to drop his laptop.

    I used to think they were called Greta Van Vleet which sounded okay like a Dutch name or something, but the actual name sounds like a group of commercial vehicles and that harshes my vibe.

    Thing I realised about the hippie laptop boys the other day is that they're only just bringing out their debut full-length and they're selling out shows that are $50 a pop because the boomers they attract are gonna think that's the going rate for a rock show.

    Haven't listened to this album yet and was only gonna do it for the shits and giggles so the scathing review hasn't rocked anything. I like that they're kind about The Darkness in it.

    Have they claimed any acts as exclusive yet? It'll certainly be Slipknot's only UK fest, too.

    Claimed Def Leppard's only UK show. That's the only one I'd have been bothered about in a lower slot at Glastonbury, tho I don't think they'd take one.

    Last Download people kept going on about SOAD not being exclusive then they just didn't do any other UK shows. Maybe LN are not ruling anything out wrt more Slipknot and Tool but they probably aren't doing anything else all the same.

  13. Was admittedly surprised to see but I don’t get why they’d mail the Die Antwoord logo one around if they weren’t in a decent position. Granted they’re not a metal act but they’re not nobodies.

    Zippo headline feels kind of right because they could go up against any of those headliners, whereas a trio of Trivium, Within Temptation and Rob Zombie would have to shut early on Saturday and Sunday.

    @Gucci Piggy don’t get duped by the logo placing. Remember that fella on about the font size of Slayer that time?
