I've just seen that The National have been added as a TBC for the Sunday on Efestivals Lineups & Rumours. I saw them about 5 years ago at Reading and they were brilliant. They have also made some fantastic albums as well so if they get announced I'll be happy.

Still need Fogerty though!!

Ok guys, I have it a very, very reliable source within the HRC camp that the headliner for Saturday is...

... Busted!

Sorry to get your hopes up (or down! :P) but I'm amazed that it's 1 and a half days to go and we're still reduced to playing the guessing game!

It is pretty strange that the last headliner announcement for such a large festival is only just 2 days away, and eFestivals has yet to predict/obtain rumours of ANY acts that we didn't find out about publicly first, other than The National...

Then again, last year was the same. HRC must just be one of those festivals that eFests has very little access to information on! :P

9am tomorrow mate! You're a day too early! :P

Anyone care to hazard any last minute guesses?

Some artists I'm surprised (but relieved, for some) noone has guessed yet: Madonna (LiveNation whoare), Prince (once heavily rumoured for Glastonbury), The Jackson 4 (didn't their Hyde Park tribute gig get cancelled this year?)...

I am now thinking it could be Guns'n'Roses,i really don't think it is Stevie Wonder because they could announced him as headliner ages ago and got the tickets on sale.

I think theres still a chance it could be Dylan,another big name with an outside chance whos touring the States at the moment is Elvis Costello.

Still think John Fogerty is in on the Saturday or Sunday as 2nd on the bill.

I think Guns N' Roses will be announced for Leeds/Reading next week.

Perhaps if it isn't Stevie Wonder it is a headliner at another festival who was already announced but HRC couldn't announce them earlier due to some sort of deal?

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
