Daft Punk/Green Day/Muse

[RichieSpenno]

Yeah it'd be like "Reading and Leeds 2011...featuring Daft Punk, Green Day and Muse..."

Can't imagine it would list 20+ bands in a short banner.

Seems weird that only one person has apparently seen it?

Green Day would make it so much better for me.

Why would vodafone have it though. They won't be selling tickets when the lineups announced so they wouldn't have use of a banner

[jump]

I dunno, they need to advertise it to other websites, a flash banner is the easiest.

Like I say I dont believe it but your doubting it for the wrong reasons

[Dave The Hedgehog]

I think a banner of the headliners is quite reasonable. Could be the work of Vodafone. I wish there was a print screen!

[Englishdragon]

They don't need to advertise it though, they are just selling tixs Ticketmaster, Seetickets etc don't know the line up and if Vodafone made the banner then they are guessing as other ticket agencies don't have these sort of banners when tixs go on sale.

[Guckeery]

they are selling tickets today as part of the vodafone vip thing

[harderfaster]

sorry, without a print screen or any source what is this rumour? i could go on twitter right now and stick some vaguely plausible bullshit on there and say 'saw this on the vodafone page' and would that throw everything up in the air? no. what a load of shit.

seetickets and ticketmaster will have the line up now.

In 2006 or 2007 somebody who worked for hmv came on the friday before with a picture of the line up posters that arrived at the shop. Everybody thought it was bull shit until the line up was announced and it was the exact thing

[luckysalt]

Out of those 3, Daft Punk are probably the only ones I'd go and see - and I see no mention of Suede or Soundgarden so my money is going elsewhere at the minute.

I can see the need for posters in HMV but really for see & Ticketmaster? Surely they could just email it on the day 10 mins before release?

[kev1664]

Plus another massively obvious mistake......... Where are the indie headliners?

[Guckeery]

Soundgarden arent coming to Europe at all in 2011. Confirmed.

Suede are headlining lattitude, Melvin wouldnt put them at reading too.

[jump]

and then somebody puts it on the website in 10 minutes

efestivals gets the lineup at 9am on the day. I imagine the sponsors and ticket sales got it at the start of the week at the earliest, I wouldn't be surprised if nme has had the line up for a month or so now

[jump]

Didn't something like this happen at TITP where Metallica (maybe another metal band?) popped up onto the site last year and it was just one of the guys in the office playing around?

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Where was it confirmed soundgarden weren't coming to europe??!?!

[Englishdragon]

Neil doesn't, he was complaining about it last year that they send it later to him than they said they would.

[JWC126]

Questioning MCR as a headliner is understandable, I guess. But saying that The Strokes aren't big enough to headline? Really?

[jump]

maybe last year it was a bit later(although im sure it was around dinner max) but ive been coming on here since 04 or 05 and around 9am we get the

"efestivals has received the lineup and can no longer discuss it until 7pm"

But the point still stands, I bet the ticket sales have the lineup and I bet the sponsors have had it for a month or so now.

[lharris92]

thing is vodafone accidentally leaked kasabian were playing IOW before they were meant to be announced... it could be plausible because vodafone have been proven to be idiots in these situations...

however no pic no proof im afraid!

[jump]

The lineup is known by NME for certain. They had the headliner interview for lattitude with Mevlin on their site this part of the same interview he talks about reading headliners.

[harderfaster]

what's the website that usually releases bits and pieces throughout the day? is it punktastic?

[Englishdragon]

Not really as the sponsors would only be told at the same time as the press (which Efestivals is) and they have no input to festival.
