I'd like to see Rizzle Kicks & Foster the people there, obviously not as a headliner though (:

[philly_eds]

Surely Pulp have gotta be there. Some obvious potential headliners - RHCP, Foos, Killers, Coldplay... Pearl Jam, Blink 182, Bloc Party maybe? Also maybe KoL, seeing as though they kind of "owe" the festival a headline slot from 09. Outside chance, but Blur? Seem to remember reading that they might play abroad this year or something similar... Would love a nice surprise like that. Dreaming a bit, but Daft Punk too...would be incredible!

Kasabian and Killers i personally think, maybe Bloc Party as their rumoured to be back together? but i think theres usually one dance sort of music headliner so maybe Swedish house Mafia instead of Kasabian?

Florence, Swedish House Mafia, Killers, Stone Roses, i would love that line up but be unlikely i think

[Welshyyy]

I didn't realise, never though of half of those you mentioned would be amazing to see blur, or blink at Leeds '10 they was insane! I only said kasabian because they seem to suit the festival but yeah,

Florence, stone roses, blur, daft punk would be insane

Really hope Pulp are there, but I guess if they are I doubt Blur will be as I'd be surprised if there are 3 bands from the 90s headlining

Feeling a little nervous about going solo now flights are booked haha, I mean, what am I going to do with all my free time?!?!

No going back now

Flights Booked - £128.85 return ticket (inc luggage fees etc) to Barcelona. Pretty pleased with that!

I've been hoping the same for Pulp ever since they announced Coachella. They were superb last year at festivals, and it would seem natural for them to be here?

Sadly, no return of Friendly Fires as confirmed to me by the drummer. Knew they wouldn't be, but worth asking.

Maybe M83?

[tc1927]

Im all booked up, going with ###### so they've sorted an apartment and as its free transfers we're going via Barcelona.

Cant wait! Hope theres a few more surprises in the line up but to be honest the Roses are enough for me!

Taken from someone's post about PULP on the Optimus Alive 12 Thread:

"efestivals pretty much guarantees they will play at hyde park, in Portugal there's a rumour that a festival is in advanced talks with them (can't say if that's true), they're also a highly desired name for Benicassim, but no, there ins't any solid fact that can makes us sure they will tour."

Fingers crossed for Beni!

[Createur]

the post you mention is about BLUR, not PULP.

[rug568]

Prefer Blur to be honest.

[zahidf]

Pulp playing Spain's SOS festival May 4th, so won't be playing here.

the post you mention is about BLUR, not PULP.

The official Facebook page has said there will be more confirmations tomorrow. Reckon we'll get both headliners and some mid-card acts or will it continue to be drip-fed?

I think we'll get both headliners now! they need to shift some tickets quick time! I'm praying for The Black Keys expecting The Killers!

[SteffieG]

I have a strong feeling that Mr Noel Gallagher will be there; I was spot on with the Stone Roses so fingers crossed.

Hoping for Black Keys and Maccabee's, Foo Fighters. The Killers are a Strong Rumour as is Justice!!

Excited for tomorrow's announcement!!

[rug568]

I would defiantly hope for both headlines and a couple of middle acts. Hoping for Pulp/Blur/Foo Fighters/Black Keys/Madness

Forgot about Justice and Miles Kane!

Blur would be so good but I'm not sure if Beni would be their first announcement of the summer rather than an English festival. They may not be around this summer at all though

[RossTC]

What time can we expect the announcement?

[thomohoq]

Actually cant wait. Feels like it did when i was going to my first T in the park. Sittin here at work refreshing the page like a pishbag!

[the_derminator]

roll on tomorrow.
