2013 Headliners

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

What did I miss? Ive had a quick trawl through this thread and cant see anything?

[1waveydavey]

Yeah, made up! Excited me for a minute too

[Guest]

It's happening!

[LittleHospitals]

It's happening!

kanye naysayers need to listen to this

yes a lot of his recent output has been dogshit but the man has put out some real quality in the past, and certainly proved his chops as a producer in his earlier days (worked with nas, talib kweli, mobb deep and common among others).

and to whoever was calling him a fad, he's been one of the most popular hip hop artists around for almost ten years, i'd say that's longevity enough in a genre that's had its fair share of flash in the pans.

[thewayiam]

so is that statement from efest about the 3rd headliner tonight real or been changed from his original quote?

beings there is no 2nd headliner yet

[Vanderlyle]

I must confess it a lie to stimulate activity and maybe even force his hand

[eFestivals]

Neil is awaiting information right now whether to add him.

Neil has just got information saying it could be a possibility. Not enough for an R.

that's just about how it is, yup.

The name was chucked my way. But it was in too casual a way to make much of it right now but it's interesting enough to try and check it out a bit further.

[Vanderlyle]

Neil - while you're here, was there any specific reason behind the additional of The National as SR?

[thewayiam]

2nd headliner has already been said.

Saturday headliner will either be rolling stones or mumford being given the bump up.

[Red Day]

And please don't confirm Mumfart as a headliner..please !

there is.

The info might be good, but it also might not be.

I can't find any quote from Neil regarding Wham anywhere - am I not getting a far too hilarious joke?

Also, are you still expecting to have something of substance to inform us tonight, Neil, or is that now not the case or indeed was it never the case?!! Servers going down for two hours but including my lunch-break means I feel remarkably out of the loop!

[howlin_pete]

Have those slating Kanye's latest actually heard Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy? Pretty much lauded my critics as being his best work (opinions I know, but just shows it's generally considered a very good album). He does have a habit of doing 10 minute auto-tune solo's live though, which at WTT was used as an excuse by many to grab a beer or take a slash.

So basically, great rapper, massive ego, questionable live show. Bit of a risk if booked as a headliner, I would probably watch though

[Badlands]

I hope he doesn't play personally, I'd be tempted to see if he can pull it out of the bag and end up inevitably being disappointed when he makes a giant tit of himself.

Edit - I've just seen the setlist from his weekend gigs. He's got some tunes mind.

someone has mailed us and said wham are reforming for glastonbury. You never know, it might even be true.

And no, I'm not expecting to hear anything much more this evening. As for times I was and didn't, I can't force people to send me stuff when they say they'll send it, and I can't force them at all. It either happens or it doesn't.

Servers didn't actually go down; the data centre where they're hosted had major issues. The main efests server has been up for 173 days, for example.

Would Wham definitely headline (if they were to play)? Or is that a stupid question?

[Andeeroo]

You have the talented and the talentless, the socially conscious and the ignorant, the substantive and the vacuous. Sadly Kanye West lies more towards the latter end of each of these three aspects.

[Andeeroo]

I automatically assumed they would be in the Sunday teatime slot. Would a reunion interest that many people? I honestly have no idea exactly how popular they were.

[Jack Nottm]

Any news on if the smashing pumpkins will top the otherstage against someone?
