I meant Radiohead for T in the Park :P I would've thought Killers for Isle of White as they just did T in 2009 right? Then the last headliner for T would be possibly Springsteen as he has no Scottish dates in his tour? Though Snow Patrol could be a good shout too.

Green Day I think would be more likely to do their own tour dates, however Billie Joe Armstrong did tweet about the Big 4 DVD last year saying he's love to be a part of a festival like that and they tend to just do a couple of odd EU festivals when they tour (like in 2010) so perhaps the Sonisphere tour will have them on most of the dates? That and the first week of December is when Sonisphere have announced their first lot of bands the past 2 years, which happens to be the same week Kerrang! has some Green Day related news....

Who would be the big 4 below them?

The Killers are out fo IOW too, Giddings has already said so. Springsteen's announced touring plans which pretty much rules him out of T too in Denmark and Switzerland that weekend.

I'd hazard a guess and say he was talking more about having an event gig than a Big 4 type show. If it was a punk version of the Big 4 then it would probably be Green Day, Rancid and Offspring who did what the Big 4 did for metal in the 80's but for 90's punk in America at least. Also arguably NoFX, Pennywise, Bad Religion and Blink (who came later than the others) would be there too all of which are from California like the other 3 but the thing is The Big 4 term was kicked about for 2 decades before they actually played togther unlike Green Day and the others.

Don't want to get my hopes up too much but...

They have been playing a lot of small club shows in America recently and a few days ago it was announced a punk club in London will be celebrating 20 years of Kerplunk (Green Day's second album) in January and there will be 'special guests'.

Probably just wishful thinking but that would be amazing for me.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
