Woaw. Compare the sunday line up to saturday's, it's ridiculous.

As a festivaler, i'm glad i've never seen any of those acts before (kinda used to Kaiser Chiefs and Killers every year).

And i'm happy to see all those legends before, let's face it, they're too old to perform or they just die.

Elvis Costello, Aaaaaaaaaaallisoooooon.

Bad news for Glastonbury (saw U2 last summer, that tour is niiice) but great news for us haha :P

The atmosphere will be so chilled, i can't wait. I hope they booked the sunshine as well.

AAAH NO DISAPPOINTMENT FOR ME.

Just to keep the hope alive - Macca and Steve Wonder are playing a gig for Obama in the Whitehouse... with Dave "The Smiley God of Rock" Grohl

A bit off track from the lineup mutterings - but does anybody know what sort of time the headliners have finished playing in the past?

I'm perhaps needing to get back home on the Saturday night after Stevie Wonder, but will be absolutely gutted to leave to catch a train whilst he's finishing with Sir Duke, Superstition or some other classic.

any help appreciated

I'm not sure what time the tubes close, but I walked back last year to Kensington Olympia from Hyde Park, which took about 20 minutes. Earl's Court is about another 5-8 minutes walk from here, so worst comes to worst you could easily walk it! :P

I think the Tubes close just before 1.00AM on Friday and Saturday and just before 12.00 on Sunday but not 100%.

However you will definitely be able to get the tube back after the concert.

I was able to after seeing Eric Clapton and The Police two years ago without any problems.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
