It seems very odd that the tacked on day last year is the only day this year that seems to have had much organisation and thought gone into it. Announced early with a well thought out bill announced in the following weeks. It's the only day that holds a candle to last year.

I think that expectation from last year may be a problem - their 2nd-on-the-bills last year were cracking quality acts that you would either not see at other festivals, or certainly not that high on the bill. Dave Matthews 2nd from the top at V or Reading...never. Fleet Foxes were on early afternoon at Glasto. But they were well placed acts that went with the respective headliner and that the people who HRC is aimed at would want to see regardless of whether they are tearing up the charts.

Whilst Ben Harper isn't on the same level as FF or DM (IMO), it's still the only evidence this year that good thinking is going on when it comes to planning bills. PJ could have put that bill together themselves it's so well suited to them. I am hoping for several collaborations.

"Well...As

mentioned earlier, we're afraid we cannot reveal an exact date for Sunday's line up as yet, but it will be soon. Not what you all want to hear we know, but everything is being finalised in preparation of our public announcement. We promise it will be

worth the wait! Which is in no way an understatement. That'...s as much as we can say for now, we will update all you

patient fans as soon as we have news."

From Hard Rock Calling on their Facebook page.

Seems they had to say something. The people on Facebook appear to becoming very dillusional with the organisers, and who can blame them?

At least finally we're being kept in the loop, and let's hope that this announcement will be worth the wait!

No idea who they've got lined up, all the usual suspects who have been mentioned before on these forums, Keane, Blondie, Wille Nelson, Kasabian are all either got other plans or are playing 2 or 3 gigs on the trot leading up or after Hard Rock Calling so very unlikely.

Them Crooked Vultures are a possibility and free after playing Glastonbury, along with Billy Joel (who you would've thought could possibly headline himself so unlikely) The Eagles are free after completing a short tour in the States but again could possibly headline in their own right. The best thing to do as this is a LiveNation gigs run a search and try and see all possible LiveNation artists.

Bon Jovi are AEG so it won't be them.

Jack Johnson played his own show at Hyde Park a couple of years ago so unlikely again to be playing.

James, John Mayer and similar sized artists sound about right.

Having said that I am going for all three headliners so anyone else announced is a bonus to me.

Also, whilst they could announce artists earlier I have faith in who they have to announce.

As much as I'd love the Foo's to play (they were so awesome at V) I can't see it happening. No other 2010 dates announced, TCV still going strong and going in to the studio in September apparently.

Anyways, we can hope!

Bon Jovi, John Mayer and Jay-Z have the 27th free and I believe they're linked with livenation.

Anyways, enough guessing from me. I'll just have to be patient and wait to see who HRC announce :lol:

And your all forgetting that Yoko would want to be in on it too... shudder

Lets face it on the off chance they read this then ring some of the following and get them booked!

Foo Fighters/Them Crooked Vultures/Queens Of The Stone Age/Taylor Hawkins & Coattail Riders/ All of them, Brian May, Ray Davies, The Who, Stereophonics, Bryan Adams, KT Tunstall, Newton Faulkner, Lenny Kravitz, Florence & The Machine, Blondie, Iggy & The Stooges, Soundgarden, Hole (she sold Macca her house!), Muse, Madness, Gary Numan, Joan Jett, Juliette Lewis, Rolling Stones, New York Dolls, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Seasick Steve, Derek Trucks, Bob Dylan, Bon Jovi.

Get any of that lot (but mainly the Foos / anything involving Dave Grohl) and I guarantee a fantastic evening for all even if we have a thunderstorm - you'd still hear the drums :P

Strong words from a man called Judy :P

I have eclectic tastes, yes I'm going to Download and yes I like Newton Faulkner (being as I teach guitar and the man is a genius).

Stereophonics have some brilliant tunes and are good for festivals, Bryan Adams is underrated (listen to anything besides Everything I Do and you have a great classic rock / 80s vibe - see Summer of '69 / Run To You), Florence ATM is great for festivals and Yeah Yeah Yeahs put on one hell of a show. All of them would suit a Hyde Park gig and at the festivals I've seen them at they got everyone going.

I happen to be open minded enough to enjoy everything from Metallica to Johnny Cash - this year I'm doing Download, Hard Rock Calling, Hop Farm and V Festival so go figure.

Oh and shh I own some Coldplay albums ;-)

It may not be the announcement you're all waiting for, but the Bandstand will be returning for 2010 on the Saturday and Sunday, hosted by the lovely Bella Union record label. The line up will be announced at midday tomorrow.

at least we're hearing some news :P

I used to respect you, before the wince inducing suggestions of Stereophonics, Bryan Adams, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, NEWTON FAULKNER (WTF?!?!??!!?) and Florence & The Machine!

Good lord man! Did you not say you were going to Download this year?!

Agreed I enjoy seeing people who aren't plastered over every festival but JK has done loads over the years! Was only yanking your chain mate I like all the bands and reckon you're pretty sound from what I've seen (except for the Status Quo but we all have guilty pleasures)

Seriously though you can't say I want someone not on NME as that would rule out Dave Grohl and he's a must - Everlong acoustic is the greatest festival song ever (as per Skin & Bones) - and the non-acoustic is awesome too.

As for Bryan Adams I'm a child of the '80s what can I say, awesome live performances though.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
