Hard Rock Calling 2011

The problem is the longer they leave it the more likely everyone will be booked up for other gigs / festivals. Not just the acts either, cash is likely to be tight and chuck in hotel costs and Hard Rock Calling needs to pull its finger out!

I heard a rumour REM might be over for the summer festivals but who knows.

Just a thought but with a remoulded Thin Lizzy doing Donnington they could be on the Bon Jovi day as they'd fit like a glove.

Van Halen would also be a great addition.

While I'd love Motorhead to play Hard Rock calling I think they are a little too hard rock for the audience, I love them but I doubt half the crowd would know anything apart from Ace of Spades. Besides I think its more likely they'd do High Voltage or something like that after their Donnington stint.

I still reckon Foo Fighters are a cert for appearing somewhere on the Glastonbury bill and would be a great Friday band as there's nothing in their schedule for that weekend.

There's no end of possibilities its just trying to line them up in a coherent line-up that appeals to mainstream - something HRC aims for. It also all depends on what lands at Glasto's doorstep and how much Live Nation are willing to chuck at Hard Rock Cafe's celebrations.

Bugger I'd missed that one - US date formats and all. Thank god I'm getting my fix at MK Bowl.

Could well be Coldplay then just hope they don't book the other alledged Glasto headliner - Beyonce - its a rock concert come on.

If Beyonce is the third Glastonbury headliner that rules out Prince as the American artist that was going to headline there,so i'm now thinking and hoping REM for HRC on the Sunday,Coldplay or Kasabian for the Saturday.

Well I'd say its pretty much odds on Coldplay are going to appear so it just leaves us with one day. If they announce someone else for Friday night I think we've got a Coldplay Sunday... Just thank your lucky stars we haven't got N-Dubz

I wonder who it could be!

Don't think it's Coldplay, seeing as Glastonbury have already announced them - surely HRC would just have jumped on the bandwagon and made the announcement to sway any Coldplay fans their way.

Don't think it's The Eagles, given that Hop Farm have them now (and what a booking! Noone called that one!!).

For the last 2 years, AC/DC have been heavily rumoured (or at least by eFestivals, make of that what you will...) so could be an option.

If I had to guess... I would say... Sunday is Fleetwood Mac. Friday is The Rolling Stones. Completely random guesses, but guesses nonetheless! ;-)

but i will say that if the get who they want on the friday its the booking of the summer, and the sunday sucks the sweat off a dead dogs balls!!

I wouldn't describe REM as pants though and Tugger reckons Sunday will be cack.

On the scale of how cack Sunday will be are we talking Cheryl Cole miming level of crap or full on VIP front row of a Simply Red concert having thought you'd booked Foo Fighters tickets... and having taken six mates with you so you can't deny it, level of cack? I understand if you can't divulge that info.

    • 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
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
