Lineup 2014

[kaosmark2]

Fair. Such shit headliners marketed by a shit supermarket.

I like Asda. Their fruit and veg is better quality than that of the other cheap ones, or Tesco for that matter.

[Paul ™]

unfortunately the organizers will realise that these acts pull in the big crowds and therefore generate massive amounts of revenue... I'd expect more of them and less crowd safety...

Total nonsense.

The people with taste were residing in the FR tent.

Do you not understand i couldnt get out!?! I didnt even want to see Eminem i wanted to carry on my dance sunday.

I was just on about what you said about everybody piling in to see Eninem, not yourself.

I'm sure it's been discussed to death, it's clear the headliners people want are just not touring or by the looks of it are not.

For example muse, Arcade Fire, daft punk, foo fighters, blur, ratm etc etc. so someone's got to headline and let's face it sabbath/maiden/Metallica would only play now if download/sonisphere didn't want them.

I also think the '5 year rule' people speak about is going to be a thing of the past, r&l headlining pool is getting smaller by the year.

Who else could of possibly headlined who are touring?

I disagree that Metallica will only play R&L if Download and Soni don't want them, Metallica have said before they want to play R&L again and they know they can't play the same two fests every fucking time. Saying that tho I want them to fuck off for a bit and come back in a few years.

It was always bullshit, Foos, Manics and Pulp and all broke it long before Blink.

[Gucci Piggy]

Wasn't it Foos, Manics and Blur? Pulp came back after two (I think?) years but subbed.

Oh yeah, it was Blur but I would also consider Pulp too since they came back in less than 5 years.

Why do people say the 5 year rule then?

theories.

Ask gazza.

I've have said in the last few months that I wouldn't rule out (not that I thought either were likely) Arcade & Blink based on the 5 year bollocks as they haven't played other fests since, got new albums out and had massive shows/tours since.

I'm more of a morrisons man myself. Although Waitrose is by far the nicest food. When I'm rich I'll shop there

Only crazy people talk the 5 year rule.

However for headliners, in the last 10 so years, they have done a sterling job of keeping headlines fresh, boost ups aside but that's fair game if they deserve it.

So it's just abit of a blow and the 1st time this has happened so soon for a while. I think that's why I'm getting my pants in a twist about it. But it's mainly due to just hating them.

People are stupid.

People are stupid.

People are strange...

[Gucci Piggy]

I thought the '5 year rule' was the Metallica thing. I just don't expect bands to play with a shorter gap than that as it's boring. Even if Muse were booked for 2015 I'd think it was a boring booking, as it's so soon after they last headlined, even though I'd enjoy it.

[Yellow_Fellow]

First use of any one saying a 5 year pattern I know is by Metallica themselves

The thing is Metallica's 1st gap was 6 years.

No they're playing in 2013 and you'll love it.

Dilated Peoples headlining 2xtra stage?

Maybe but they already have Euro fests dates in early Jul so they may not stick around Europe to the end of Aug.

Well I don't know if they tour much so they could just make a whole summer out of it. I dunno, I just saw them on the front page and suggested it to escape the monotony of discussing how bad theories and patterns are.
