Lineup 2014

[KingOfTheBeach]

Reckon Kanye will do any UK fests this year?

The only festival I could see Kanye doing is Glastonbury and maybe T/V at a push. I think he'd be a tight booking for Leeds as a different option, especially is Melvin actually starts this trend of booking one rap headliner a year that he was on about.

[dentalplan]

Did he?

[Babyquack]

yeah... this is not only news to me but I think the entire forum haha

[TheSilence]

I had no idea Melvin said that.

Also, does anyone know where the rumour of eminem playing T came from? I'd be very happy with that.

[KingOfTheBeach]

He sort of mentioned in a passing comment that because Eminem went down well he would maybe do a similar thing each year. Then the Leeds Festival site released a poll about which headliners you'd like to say which was very 'rap heavy' on the suggestions.

I hope it doesn't happen though, I didn't mind seeing Eminem from a reminiscing point of view but anyone else I'd not enjoy.

Came from Keese. Paul, in the T section, who has been reliable in the past, says it's wrong, though.

Don't need one do you?

Yellow fellow cough cough.

Sort of mentioned in a passing comment that maybe he would do something similar? I think we can mark that down as having absolutely no weight to it whatsoever.

[KingOfTheBeach]

Youtube? I'm sure you could find it easy enough if you searched like 'Melvin Reading 2013 interview'.

It's irrelevant now anyway cause I thought it's was pretty certain the headliners are Blink, Am and QOTSA/Paramore.

I'm not saying it does but I just always remembered him saying it, thats all.

The guy is a notorious bullshitter, him saying that is a million miles away from any commitment to having one rap headliner every year.

[Matt42]

Overheard a discussion today where someone was saying the only bands from this generation that will be remembered in 100 years are Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Foals.

He forgot Packers and Movers in Kodaikanal then, didn't he?

[Matt42]

more of the fact he said cassius by foals has "already written itself into the history books".

[the wonderwhy]

What about BearFur?

I hope you pointed out that nobody remembers bands from 100 years ago.

[the wonderwhy]

Except for Bach and the Bratwurst. They're still huge and they've been around 300+ years

[Matt42]

If they are people that think Foals are a legendary act, then there's nothing you can do to point out anything to them.

Didn't mention anything about Howler did they?

[the wonderwhy]

Who are Howler?

[TheSilence]

Some bands from our generation will be remembered in 100 years though. Not foals though, never foals.

[dentalplan]

Did Foals bring in a load of arsehole fans with Holy Fire or am I just now noticing them?
