Last clue...

"If you were allowed to spell both bands' names on a Scrabble board over a triple word square as a single word, it'd be worth 99 points. YEP."

[chickenfire]

Well one is Refused, surely.

I have no idea to who the other one could be though.

[jump]

Sikth? They posted something about having unfinished business last week.

I'm hoping it's Mad Capsule Market!

Hell Is For Heroes? I seriously doubt this would have MAJOR hype though lol

I didn't even know thay had split up!

[jump]

Years ago! Last I heard the singer was working as a travel agent!

[kipper64]

I initially thought SiKth and refused, as SiKth are very likely reforming, but it's not official yet, so they'd both fit. But SIKTHREFUSED makes 69 points in scrabble, not 99, so I'm stumped!

[jump]

I've found a scrabble calculator and I've tried a combo of Reuben, Wildhearts, Sikth and Refused and the closest I've come is 93 points.

[biffoire]

It's no longer about who has the biggest headliner. it's about who's headliner scores the highest in scrabble.

[kipper64]

Yeah I can't find any that fit the clues that reach 99 either haha. Shame really, but all shall be revealed next week.

Placebo are playing festivals this summer, apparently first announcements are next monday at 9am, possibly coinciding with Sonisphere?

[SOAD]

If Soni gets Placebo and Refused that is already enough for me to go again.. especially since the fest easily has my fave atmosphere... desperately don't want Kiss to play though... but guess will just get drunk before going back in for bohemia headliners.. or try and give them a go (despite five minutes of them after dillinger at Download was too much)

Plus Sikth would be incredible but as said above they dont fit the scrabble thing

i think palcebo will be at R&L but you never know. they could play both i guess.

[thegremlin_1999]

Remeber when playing scrabble you get a bonus 50 points for using all your letters....

Which means the problem is getting it DOWN to 99 points

Also. It's THE wildhearts which might make a difference. Ginger is super busy doing all the pledge album stuff and all the rest of the things he's doing! so maybe not so likely... Plus I'm not sure they actually have a bassist atm... Not that that's ever really stopped 'em. Get thru bassist like spinal tap do drummers!

[thegremlin_1999]

Yeah, but you only have 7/8 letters in scrabble...what if the bands names equal more than that.

[R 2 Da C]

Wolfmother and Sikth make 99.

[dip]

You can add to words already there. So for instance refused takes all 7 letters up. Which could be placed before sikth to end up with the word refusedsikth on a triple world you score for all 12 letters, tripled and added 50 points...

Ok, I sound a lot sadder than I really am... Haha

[SOAD]

I've been thinking... may be unlikely but think we could get something like this:

Friday

Tool

Placebo

Saturday

Rage Against The Machine

KoRn

Lostprophets

Sunday

Kiss

Motley Crue

Faith No More

Would be a strong announcement but I think Faith No More would have to headline Apollo... so maybe swap Tool with Faith No More, and then have a bit of a move about with the other bands and put The Offspring under RATM.

[SOAD]

Then bands like Refused, The Used, Mastodon, Enter Shikari, New Found Glory, Down, At The Drive In, Coheed and Cambria, Feeder, Papa Roach, Twin Atlantic, All American Rejects, Therapy?, Killswitch Engage, Megadeth, Dimmu Borgir, The Subways, A Day To Remember, Dillinger Escape Plan, Letlive etc. to help fill out the main stages/late night spots on Bohemia.

That would probablky make me more happy than my lineup other than Motley Crue and Kiss with no band to bridge between them... although I dont see Deftones touring again this year unless they release a new album which I'm guessing at the earliest will come out late this year.

edit: Actually nah prefer mine as it has Tool although of course mine is less likely.
