Lineup 2014

[Com Truise]

I know The Kooks are shit but saying they're similar to 1 Direction is a bit harsh

Harsh on One Direction sure

[kemosabe]

wonder where next years event will be... North East, Yorkshire or Midlands seem good bets... but then they might go somewhere like Cornwall or Portsmouth to bring it back to the south after a few years away

[mattgimmeshelter]

Never anywhere near I live

If I got free attendance, i'd see all the bands i'd never pay to see - I'd probably see the poppiest acts on the lineup and tick boxes. What most people attending seem to do.

It's hardly ever been in the south, once in London, once in Swindon that's about it.

[Com Truise]

Midlands

Ha, we don't get anything

[The Placid Casual]

I live in North Wales, most bands only seem to think the South exists...

[Mouseboy11]

My local council are trying to get it, then again the events planner is a massive bullshitter so he's probably lying.

[TheSilence]

I'd go if it was in the Northwest

There isn't enough space for it in Portsmouth

[TenInchToenaiIs]

They should do it in Guildford so I can go

[justanothername]

I'm not bothered if the Big Weekend came near. Would try to get tickets for sure but there isn't much I'd see

[Yellow_Fellow]

I'd like to see it in Southampton, if not only to gridlock the entire city forever

[The Placid Casual]

Speaking of Big Weekend, Bangor did have it quite recently, so there's no chance we'll ever get it

[kemosabe]

Sheffield/ Leeds/ York/ Sunderland/ Newcastle/ Manchester/ Nottingham would be cool for me

anything free and im there!

[mattgimmeshelter]

Their whole newest album is pretty special live

[mattgimmeshelter]

Damn they play Luna live brilliantly!

Lily Allen is class wish she was at Leeds this year and not V

Darlia on next btw

[mattgimmeshelter]

Dunno how Lily at Reading would go down....

surprised she isn't doing T though, how did that happen.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Can someone confirm whether Lily Allen writes her own songs or not?

I've heard conflicting stories

Think she would do well tbh... Although she is a pop act is she any more so then the likes of Imagine Dragons or Bastille which had big crowds??

She has that same sing along factor that Frank Turner has at R&L which is great when drunk. Also it helps that her lyrics are witty and clever not boring pop music you get

I believe she does. as she has in the past criticized others for not doing that... She also spent alot of time explaining the meaning of her music (suggesting she at least co wrote them)

By her own admission, Allen does not have the most amazing voice in pop; nor is she an incredible musician, although she knows her way around a guitar and a piano. ‘The only thing I can do really is write lyrics,’ she says.

She also spends a lot of time slagging off her own songs, which is weird if she writes them
