2013 Headliners

[FloorFiller]

People keep saying about Watch The Throne but isn't Kanye due to have a kid around that time? I'm doubting he will be over here. Could be wrong of course but surely it makes it very very doubtful

[Sketchead]

Has nobody mentioned that Radcliffe & Maconie said on 6music today that they've been sent a tip that The Smiths are playing?

That rumour coming back around is all we bloody need.

[Tiesto FTW]

Lady Gaga would be quite fun to watch. My heart thinks Green day might make an appearance, anyone else agree or hope? They have a gig lined up and not much more in June or the summer.

Come on guys, don't dissapoint

[Guitargeek]

I think the general feeling if Green Day played, let alone headlined, would be shock and minor disappointment.

apparently a fantastic live act

they're only fantastic if fantastic means a band playing a set where they tell you how fantastic they are between every song.

[FloorFiller]

when you write a song as good as Two Timing Touch And Broken Bones, Neil, then feel free to announce how fantastic you are after every fantastic song you play. until then, leave The Hives alone!

While I'm not sold on them as songwriters, I do quite like the 'hyping themselves' elemnet of the live show. It's nothing new and has its antecedents in the likes of James Brown and what have you, but a little bit of enthusiasm goes a long way.

[mrtourette]

Their set at Reading last year was a real 'Weezer moment', and yeah the showmanship is part of their set. It works well I think, they're a funny bunch.

[zahidf]

Hives are a good band to play for 45mins-1 hour for a festival. Get the hits,get the very funny banter, and then leave before getting bored. Much like we are scientists ( who do have better songs mind)

Apologies if this has been gone over - I'm new to the forum - but I have to wonder if Phoenix could headline one night, with their new album coming sometime soon.

[GlastoSimon]

it's all done with a healthy sense of irony though, and lots of humour

I think they're really good live.

No other acts have yet been announced for the bill, and while Keith Richards of the Rolling Stonesand Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks have both expressed an interest in playing, it is understood that only one headliner has been booked so far, and their identity remains a secret.

Wonder where this info has come from and if its true.

What are the chances of that one act being the Arctic Monkeys? No wonder there are no leaks!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Wow, now this is interesting... Have things gone completely to pot with headliners?.
