?

What does everyone reckon?

I laughed it off when someone mentioned it a few days ago, but the more I think about it, the more I could see it happen. New album out aswell.

Personally think it would be awesome.

They were offered a slot at V headlining the 2nd stage and they turned it down as they don't want to play fests this year.

unlikely with MCR, The Strokes and Muse headlining

Its probably just wishful think, but I hope MCR are no where to be seen

[eFestivals]

probably :/ but to be fair... nobody is pretty certain about headliners this year! most certain people are about is muse.... and neil says "its more likely true then not" what that? 51% ... idk? .. theres still a good possibilty... none of the headliners are even TBC on efests :/ soo im still holding out! even though its 99% wishful thinking

I'd say that there's a greater than 90% chance of the three rumoured headliners - Muse, Strokes, MCR - being correct.

As for REM, I've heard that they turned down the festie offers they had, so I think that's hugely unlikely.

[dannyv18]

Mooseman has already said he was talking shit just like OKB, theloveofmusic1 and the various other idiots who claim to know but then admit knowing shit.

[eFestivals]

if its 90% how come its not TBC? o.O

because stuff only gets marked as TBC here when it's believed to be a certainty*, and not just highly likely.

(* while stuff that's TBC is believed to be a certainty, there's still the occasional error with this - what we know can only ever be as good as the info we get.)

As much as I would love that, it's not gonna happen.

Headliners are MCR, Strokes and Muse!

[jump]

Don't put me and OKB together, yes I did make that thread stating I know the headliners and that MCR weren't one of them. But the forums were pretty dead and I was simply playing to what alot of people wanted to hear. I'm sorry for doing it. I don't continously post bullshit.

[eFestivals]

ahhhh fair enough! ... dont you usually have atleast one headliner TBC at this point?

Yup, tho that's not been the case every year.

If the info I've had for this year had been received in the last month, then it's very likely that the acts would be marked as TBC. More than anything it's the time span between me getting that info and the announcement which has led me to have some doubts.

Be brave and do it! Those 3 are def the headliners!

[kibble]

Its much more exciting when there is a bit of doubt, rather than them being nailed on year after year

[chappiepunk]

Im still clinging to hope of this happening, I dont care what any of you say

[RichieParf]

Obviously highly unlikely, unless the reason they turned down the other fests was because of some sort of exclusivity agreement, but you'd have expected some noise about that to have come out and I assume there was a different reason given.

[Ashl]

I would love it, they have said they are not touring I believe. I like to think it doesn't prevent a one off exclusive festival performance.... although its unfortunately unlikely.
