[dentalplan]

I don't think i can wait 24 hours.. I want a leak. (cue pictures of leeks)

[guitarbhoy1888]

Best announcement for me!

Don't get me too excited

[DMCJ2]

Are the hives suggestions/rumours based on anything other than people hoping and thinking they were great last year? One of my favourite bands but I just can't see them coming back again so soon

[suckitandsee]

just throwing this out here but how amazing would this little shock be tomorrow

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

In regards to the Libertines do people seriously think Festival Republic would shell out for them again so soon & have them headline this time? Are they any more in demand than when they subbed off the back of their reunion in 2010? Granted they put on a bloody brilliant performance & I was happy to be there, but come on guys...

Would cry tears of not if Libs were announced, obvs not gonna happen though

[the wonderwhy]

They may be booked in a similar/the same slot due to being booked before the album came out, but they're not the same size. Bastille have had much more radio play & mainstream exposure than Spector, tribes, howler & Palma Violets. Plus their album charted much higher, sold more & produced more successful singles.

[dentalplan]

spector have self comfirmed

[jonnyisRFC]

What is actually ruling out RHCP? Just their shit performance in 2007?

[sammylee]

I never said they were the same size as Tribes etc, but they're the same as Palma Violets. Bastille may have more Radio 1 airplay, but Palma Violets have far, far more NME backing. They're equivalents.

Either way you look at it they're both over-hyped anyway.

Bastille have a debut number 1 album & a single that's charted at number 2, being held off only by J.T's Mirrors. Palma Violets debut album charted at number 11 & produced no mainstream hit singles at all. Oh & NME backing means fuck all anyway, look at how it worked out for Viva Brother.

So yeah, you're wrong.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Nothing's ruling them in or out. That Melvin comment shouldn't be taken too seriously, he abit of a bumbling bafoon

I'm hoping you spelt buffoon wrong on purpose to make your point stronger.

[suckitandsee]

They're not, are they?

[Eager_Eyes]

I've not been on here much recently so forgive me if its already been answered but this thread is way too long to find out.

Why are Green Day rummoured? Surely that they're playing their own big gig in London in June rules them out.

someone on twitter met fred at the nme awards, they're playing glasto aswell

[Andy0808 v3.0]

I don't think RHCP are suited to any festival in the UK anymore really.. if Sonisphere was about this year i'd have guessed they would of been there. I saw them in 2011 at the O2 and thought they were good but from what i've heard they really have no way of coming back from that performance in 2007

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

I wasn't even aware it was a proper word. I shoulda gone with asshole......
