Rock En Seine

[pship7]

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like exactly the sort of festival that would suit us. The festival ticket cost is covered by The Prodigy, QOTSA & Arctic Monkeys for me, so any other acts I like that get announced are a bonus.

I've been to Pukkelpop before and it was unbelievably good. But that's exactly what puts me off wanting to go again if the line-up isn't as good.

Never understood why festivals don't release their line-ups as soon as the bands are booked. Do they want my money or not?!?!

no problem

good question, only festival organisers will be able to answer that one. I could imagine bands not wanting festival dates announced before the band announce their complete tour themselves and on the organiser hand of course you have to keep up the antici........PAtion (<- rocky horror/frank n furter reference) of the crowd and announce them when they think it's right, or could be something completely different.

Do you know when is the next announcement?

[Operator]

nope, best is to register for their newsletter and you'll get all updates as quick as possible.

[Noeliam]

Done, thank you

[Operator]

only info I can give is that they have about 3-4 announcements running up to the festival and I think a last one with the final few (smaller) names a few weeks before it starts.

[Noeliam]

So it's less than an announcement/month! Any idea if we can still hope for a big band? (like KoL or The Killers).

[Noeliam]

And we have an answer for the next announcement:

Rock en Seine At the end of March !

Tickets, Eurostar and Hotel 15 mins from festival all booked - Now looking forward to the next lineup announcement

[Operator]

25 March, 10am (9am English time) - next announcement with 25 bands, day by day schedule and day tix on sale.

[Noeliam]

How do you know it's gonna be 25 bands?

[Operator]

thought I read it on facebook but can't find the post anymore.

[atomised]

Trying to choose between this one and Reading. Thinking a week in Paris including a festival is winning at the moment

"Ooof. @rockenseine you've really out done yourself this year. Can't say anymore for now but let's just say I'd buy your tickets early."

Said by some twitter account that lists French gigs...

[Noeliam]

ooO where did you see that?...

The Killers would be great...

[Noeliam]

The headliner tommorow will be a girl, or at least the lead singer will be (the same source as yours).

Paramore then? Though that totally wouldn't be as awesome as the earlier tweet would suggest...

Big deception, the first names were way more better, i hope that we will have a big name for the next announcement.

[the wonderwhy]

The Hives, The Horrors, Wild Beasts, Cage The Elephant, Royal Blood added. Cool lineup.

Weird that Lana is going on after Arctics

Yeah, like two days after.

[the wonderwhy]

I shouldn't post on here until I've actually woken up.

[Dietediet]

Lana is still going on after QOTSA, which I'd consider equally weird.
