Thursday/Friday announcements

[rexclark]

Cause they would be the perfect way to end my festival

[Poleski]

I thought it would be more of an Orbital slot, can't see them being a massive draw for a mainstage headliner.

[Paul ™]

Just searched the forum for Leftfield and quite a few threads pop up with people requesting them for 2010 (most saying it would never happen getting them back together)

So cheers Jim..

[rexclark]

I could. If its hyped properly.

Just can't see the younger crowd being that interested, I'd love to see them on The Main Stage though.

[The Disco Deviant]

this is a yong festival though! a headliner shouldnt have to be looked up on youtube to be known... are we sure this is the healiner?! annie didnt make it clear and its not mentioned on the official post.

[Poleski]

i kinda agree with you, i hope they aint hedling the mainstage just for the fact that we have more acts to speculate over who will be

yeah, im 19 and consider myself quite into music but up untill today i had ever heard of them, been listening to them all day and can imagine them being amazing live but cant see them headling the mainstage cause i text all my friends the announcement and most of them were like who the feck are leftfield

[zlatan07]

Thats what I was like with Orbital last year. I ended up f**king loving them by then end of summer.

I dont think they are necessarily big in everyones eyes. but I see where they get their name for being "the most influential electronica act" etc.

I could see them on Main Stage. Much more than orbital last year. For one thing Phat Planet is a maaaaaaaaassive tune. Much bigger than chime or belfast

[Poleski]

true, but people wont even know that thats a leftfield song, i certainly didnt

[zlatan07]

yeah. suppose you can say that about anyone though

Folks, without Leftfield there would be no dance music as we know it.

[theampersanddevil]

Are people seriously asking if they are headliners?

its leftfield man.

As my mate said tonight.

Man thats gonna rock or blow but i gotta see it!

[Da_J_Doc-~]

Tis gonna rock seen them twice live and once a dj set (although the dj set may not have been them as i got told later they cancelled, see Lizard Eclipse Festival again for that one Paul!!!) and their bass lines are banging.

[Paul ™]

Aye mate.. seen them a few times including Phoenix, Glasto and some other rave.. could have been Tribal Gathering.. all in the mid 90's... they will blow the place away!

[Jossy]

hadnt heard of leftfield until today

im still hoping for someone else to headline

[Paul ™]

Lizard Eclips - ahhh happy days!

[theampersanddevil]

ok I'm stoked about leftfield. Totally.

The weird thing about this board is that it makes everything different.

For example, I've seen soundgarden and loadsa people on efest boards dicuss whether they are headliner. Now having seen them I say no. But nostalgia and 'legend' hunters want them so they sell.

To be honest, compared to other acts people touting like chems (great band but can see them anytime) leftfield will shift on the nostalgia, never seen and legend for me, personally.

So I begin to wonder about the bigger picture. How much do the boards and the people on the boards repressent the people who go? and for those that leftfield on their own don't draw, maybe a couple of others could drag them along.

Also when everyone is comparing T to rock, rightly or wrongly, rock pulled something out of nowhere. That can only be appluaded. (big resist on the pun)

[5co77ie]

haha were you there? we were on site for weeks, got bumped for cash by the promoter and all went straight to Reading.. funny times

[5head]

More than happy with Boys Noize.....but less than impressed with Leftfield. NOt denying they are a huge pioneering dance act - it's just that they are from a different era to the youngish Rock Ness crowd.

[Da_J_Doc-~]

I was there briefly took too many shrooms and acid (never a good mix) and had to go home battered, Kaz and i ended up on the south devon coast for the actual eclipse.

[5co77ie]

You're kidding they were AWESOME at Glastonbury 2000 AD!
