Joe- Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I have a feeling Fleet Foxes, but that's about it. Anyone have any ideas? or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Won't they be a bit too expensive? They're headlining Green Man which is 10,000 capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe- Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 No idea, just thought they had a few festies in August booked and could be one. Just hope no Tinchy kind of stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I imagine there'll be something of that ilk - the Saturday pop booking seems a regular slot - 2010 Tinchy and Diana; 2009 Mr Hudson and Chipmunk (and Saint Etienne for the older pop kids); 2008 Macy Gray and Roisin Murphy; 2006 Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

kevd108 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Ash Hot Chip and James would make great headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe- Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 What about passion pit, doves, bombay bicycle club, black keys, friendly fires and foals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweepingTheNation Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 (edited) Doves are on hiatus. Ash and James are good shouts, both bands that do the rounds of mid-sized festival headliners with new songs to put in between the classics. Don't know if the festival would prefer newer names with pulling power as per 2010, not that I can think of many at the moment (Chase & Status? Not that I'm keen but they've got a huge live following, crossover potential, that dancier element that occasionally influences SSW headliners and their album's selling well) I have no idea, by the way, I just fancied some bored conjecturing.

Joe- Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Chase and Status is a good shout, they could be a good Saturday headliner. Popular for alternative fans, popular for chart music fans, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingo2001 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Are the Kaiser Chiefs still going? Could see them at SSW 2011 and possibly Franz Ferdinand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zahidf Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 wedding present have some one off dates around the festival 12/08 : Clitheroe – Grand 13/08 : Middlesbrough – Crypt Potential second from top/second stage headiner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little car Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I have a sneaky feeling that Skinny Lister might be on the bill. Foals will hopefully be deemed too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little car Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Can't imagine why you'd think that. (Would they be more a Musician Stage band?) It's quite telling that we don't really have any idea about headliners, especially given the choices of the last couple of years - could be veterans, could be those caught on the way up. I've seen one very interesting band (one occasionally requested on here, in fact) who are in the UK around the SSW dates and currently list a day off on one of them, and there's a handful of well regarded American bands announcing festival dates in Europe around that weekend too, but as clues are on the way on Friday I'll save guesses and assumptions for another time.

Joe- Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Relentless boardmasters (same weekend) has Streets, Leftfield, Groove armada and Cyprus Hill TBC and Fatboy Slim confirmed. Maybe Streets will return? The others may be too expensive though. Although any of them would be epic. Edited March 3, 2011 by Joe- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Leaf Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 John Grant mentioned on the Bergen release. I saw him at the local 02 and he was brilliant. Couldn't give a stuff about Midlake but John Grant was sublime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James_SSW Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 You may have already seen it on the homepage, but I'd thought I'd share with you the line ups for our stages at Camden Crawl and Begenfest, in Norway: http://www.summersundae.com/news/news.php?cat_id=6&year=2011&nid=210 http://www.summersundae.com/news/news.php?cat_id=6&year=2011&nid=213 Not long to wait until Summer Sundae's first announcement..
