yayrickwaller Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 (edited) I've just returned from the ILMC conference in London where Melvin Benn was speaking in the festival forums. He was being very careful about what he said understandably, but it was confirmed, and i know everyone already knows that Arctic Monkeys and Kings Of Leon will be headlining (from Stuart Galbriath, not Melvin) But he did say he has paid a lot of money for a UK exclusive 2nd headliner which through further investigation we found out was The Offspring. Take this how you will, just thought I would put it out there. Edited March 15, 2009 by yayrickwaller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yayrickwaller Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 The mention of a UK exclusive headliner was from him and the suggestion that its the Offspring was from Stuart Galbraith, i'm not sure if he knows that the line up hasn't been released yet haha! I could be wrong, but seeing as I was there I thought I would share what I got from the conference about the line-up. I know it seems suspicious as it looks like i'm a newbie, but I check these forums everyday and you can't just walk into the ILMC can you!

yayrickwaller Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Nope, i was gutted. Really wanted conformation of that. All that was given away was what I said. ...And also if anyone is interested; They spoke about policing the festival and Melvin said that Glastonbury costs £1.22million Reading costs £300,000 Leeds £30,000 Crazy!!

jammy2211 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Surprised if they're second headliners, albeit I guess they'll still pull a crowd. Their new album did flop mind you. I'll be pleased to see them there, another good bands if this turns out to be true, putting my tally up to 5 with no lock up yet . If that's Kaiser and Offspring as two second headliners, anyone think Lostprophets might not show up until 2010? Still no word on their new album and well, I can see The Kooks or some trash indie band being the other high slot... Bodes well for a good Sunday mainstage too .

!Dave! Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 If The Offspring were the 2nd headliner that would suit Greenday rather than Radiohead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yayrickwaller Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 "The mention of a UK exclusive headliner was from him" Sure that wasnt him referring to Radiohead who are a UK exclusive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasowen Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ill start the court procedings for false advertising Looking rather like KOL---------AM-------------Radiohead ----------Kaiser Chiefs-----The Offspring ------------------------------Janes Addiction? Means the Sunday can still be heavier after offspring, saturday is the traditional indie fest and friday has the potential to remain alternative. So to all the doubters out there you smell!

Joshuwarr Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Who says Lostprophets have to play Sunday. They may play under KOL.... (although unlikely!). All this specualtion means nothing to me because I'm just so f**king happy I get to see Radiohead again :') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 By tomorrow morning DR OK will have produced a full lineup for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomisnothere Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 the offspring could easily be second headliner to arctic monkeys. both bands are guitar-heavy and have lots of attitude. seems fitting to me. kaiser chiefs under kings of leon would make sense too. i could be wrong though - it depends exactly who the other headliner is. i know radiohead rumours are flying around but i'm going to be a bit doubtful until i've seen something substantial. i trust efestivals, but you never know...

chubbz Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Arctic Monkeys Kaiser Cheifs Klaxons Vampire Weekend Kings of Leon Lost Prophets Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maximo Park Radiohead The Offspring 2nd Stage Glasvegas White Lies Some other shitty band I don't know. 3rd Stage Spinnerette Bat For Lashes Eagles of Death Metal There's my terrible guesses for the line up.

Englishdragon Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Although ive been mentioning offsrping since last august to my friends to hear it semi confirmed nearly made me scream Its been too long since i last saw them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant_1310 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Arctic Monkeys Kaiser Cheifs Klaxons Vampire Weekend Kings of Leon Lost Prophets Yeah Yeah Yeahs Maximo Park Class! That lineup would suit me fine! lets hope you're "terrible guesses" are right. Think Klaxons main stage would be a bit of a shame though, I prefer/see them as more of a tent performer. Thouh they did headline NME stage on the fri at leeds in 07 so I guess only place for them is main *sigh* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beLIEveR Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I'd imagine the Offspring would go below KoL if they were second. Not complaining as long as they're SOMEWHERE though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLHALLOWS Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 If The Offspring are second headliners I think they organisers have gone mental. Utter rubbish band...well past their sell by date. This year is looking terrible. I will also doubt the Radiohead rumours until an official confirmation but at this rate its going to be Kaiser Chiefs.

benisright Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) No one considering the fact Offspring could play on the friday under KoL?! edit:yes, but not on the first page. Edited March 16, 2009 by benisright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasowen Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Klaxons aren't playing. I think it's more likely Offspring will play on the Reading Sunday as it makes sense that they were booked when the festival had Greenday as headliners before they pulled out.
