roadrunner66 Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 They're only sharing international news. Try to ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohduarte Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 "three heavyweight headline acts, The Stone Roses, The Cure and Radiohead" Optimus Alive just put that on facebook, so looks like they are headlining.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner66 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Not their words. They're still sharing international news and ignoring the question. Edited February 17, 2012 by roadrunner66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusQuintana Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Me and my friend are planning a trip this year, thanks for all the information been posted. Does anyone know where flights are cheapest to Lisbon? We are from Scotland but could travel to another airport, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyd2991 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 When we went last year we flew Glasgow-London-Lisbon with Easyjet. Easyjet fly direct from Edinburgh to Lisbon, and that's what we would probably do if we decide to go this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner66 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Since they're sharing international news on facebook that say Stone Roses are one of the headliners, some people are insisting with the question of whether SR will be headliners and again...no answer! On the other hand if you ask any other kind of info you'll get a promptly answer. Also the lineup on the website was updated with M&S and SR still in smaller font. I reckon they're not sure on whether the whoever band they are trying to get is guaranteed. Since Faith No More will be in Europe this summer, being already confirmed for the french Sonisphere, I'd suggest them as the other possible headliner. At this stage, the friday headliner could be one of those: Blur Faith No More Pearl Jam The Stone Roses (?!) Personally, I hope they get Blur.

chewbacca Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 as excited as i am about the (potential) third headliner, different question: do you guys think bloc party are likely to play? they are playing melt! that weekend...

DJL Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Re the potential 3rd headliner i'm caught between being optimistic and realistic. I don't know how much the stone roseswould lower their considerable price playing abroad where they have less demand. I'm sure they're getting paid a packet to headline benicassim so i'm wondering how far can 99 euro a ticket go? If we do get one i think there's a logic, based on past headliners, of the heavier rock acts roadrunner listed. Guns and roses and marilyn manson are both playing in spain the week after? Blur would be my preference though and stone roses then blur with justice playing afterwards would be the best order imo - that would be truly epic. Would like to see bloc party somewhere on the undercard too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 There's no reason why any of the previously mentioned bands: Faith No More, Guns n Roses, Pearl Jam etc would need to hold off on announcing? They've all already announced tour dates... I'd say if there is still a headliner, it'll be Blur & they're waiting on 100% confirmation before they announce whether the Stone Roses are actually headlining or not.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Also, on the topic of Bloc Party, they could sub to either the Stone Roses or Radiohead... depending on what date they're playing at Melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davydenko Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I think finally Stone Roses will be the Headliner.... I want Blur but i Think is too much Money... Anyway, next week will be the key. Fib will confirm new bands next Tuesday, and a few spanish festivals too. If they cant' pick Blur, i Think no one over here could do Blur interviuw for NME will be wednesday ? We have to wait, I think next week all the doubts about headliner will be result. I'd like to see Bloc Party and Blur BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davydenko Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 About the camping, festival recint is near to the beach, and campsite is over a mountain. Is about 1-half hour walking, but the festival put free buses Camping-Recint from 4 afternoon to 5 night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 I could see Blur & the Stone Roses 'co-headlining'... Blur did it with Snow Patrol at T in the Park 2009, so I'm sure they'd be more comfortable sharing the status with a band like the Stone Roses. I guess only time will tell, I just don't see the Stone Roses playing under Faith No More or Guns n Roses, where as underneath Blur with Justice on either before or after would make perfect sense.

roadrunner66 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Yeah..a 'co-headlining' thing could also be real. Since there's no way Optimus Alive will explain this situation, all we can do is wait for the bigger font name. Hopefully that will come with the Blur's next week annoucement.

philly_eds Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Correct me if I'm just being ridiculous, but all this stuff about The Stone Roses being in a smaller font than the other 2 headliners... is that not simply because they have more letters in their name than Radiohead and The Cure? Hence them having to use 2 lines of font instead of 1 and in a slightly smaller font so it "fits" better with the poster layout.... ?!?
