it's been nagging me over the last couple of weeks...

what's the latest that headliners have been announced..?

Not sure when the latest has been.

I don't think there's anything to worry about from what Michael said - it sounds like it's only really a case of the paperwork being done. He (essentially) said they have a verbal agreement.

I know that last year it was more than 6 weeks after efests had said who the headliners were before the paperwork for them all was completed. I don't know how much longer than 6 weeks it was tho, so it could have been quite a long while later.

Don't forget as well that (from what I've heard) Stevie is an act who wasn't being pursued initially - I'm 99.9% sure they were after the stones (and probably thought they'd got them) till shortly after the new year. So that means the Stevie situation is probably running something like 2 months behind the more normal situation for a headliner.

As I say, I don't think there's reason to worry.

Considering tickets haven't normally gone on sale until 1st April they are pretty ahead of themselves in terms of line up and preperation for the festival. I wouldn't expect anything much until end of april or may.

However I'm still wondering where the announcement promised back in Jan or Feb is actually going to make an appearance? Unless I missed something official?

That's a brilliant version, thanks Tugger.

Threre was some idiot on here who said that Stevie's sound might not go over too well on the main stage. I think this footage totally blows that idea out of the water ...

As long as he plays!

    • Sam Fender, Harry Styles, Sabrina Carpenter is a very bland set of headliners. Commercially successful and makes plenty of sense, but it wouldn't be very inspirising. That said I want a band like Green Day to headline so who am I to say what exciting is.    
    • Potentially rogue shout here but could see Rebecca Black in the running for a mid-afternoon spot. I know most people still remember her for Friday but lately she’s been putting out a lot of fun pop bangers, think this could be a very fun booking!
    • FFS why when there are pull outs does it always include so many of the names I had as must sees!
    • This is a pretty petulant stance.   I oppose him headlining because I love coming to Slam Dunk and he would be a very big reason why I wouldn't come. That doesn't mean they can't choose to do so, they obviously can, I would just stop coming to that version of Slam Dunk.   Another name that I'll throw out there as name I'd love is Biffy Clyro.
    • There is possibly a weak link in the ticket buying system, no matter how clever the technical controls get. I just spent 20 minutes this morning hammering the ‘Buy Tickets’ button while the web page kept telling me there weren’t enough tickets remaining to meet my request. Eventually it changed its mind and let me buy two tickets. Most likely because of failed payments in the queue ahead of me. So - just like it did in the good old F5 days - pig-headed blind persistence can sometimes pay off.   BTW, the tickets were for the Whispering Bob Harris evening in the Albert Hall on 2nd December.
