Lineup 2014

[kaosmark2]

TDCC headlining hasn't sold it to you?

I was hoping for Latitude to break the shite-ness of UK festivals so far this year.

Nope.

I think Latitude will be good. I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to make a close call between it and Truck this year, and with one of the two a hell of a lot cheaper, I know which I'd prefer to be awesome.

[Gucci Piggy]

For the record I'm not writing Latitude off after that announcement. What I should have said is "I was hoping for Latitude to break the shite-ness of UK festival announcements so far this year".

[TheSilence]

Never 100% until it's confirmed Matt! Remember the Rolling Stone fiasco.

What was the Rolling Stone fiasco??

[Gucci Piggy]

What was the Rolling Stone fiasco??

They had an announcement the same day as T and so Matt was convinced they were headlining and shouted down anyone who said he was wrong.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Nope.

Surely you'd rather Truck were awesome?

[kaosmark2]

Surely you'd rather Truck were awesome?

I would have before, but now I need to make it easier to justify seeing Royksopp.

[LondonTom]

So your "argument" actually comes down to

Waaahhhh I don't like Paramore, all their fans are stinky yucky girls and I hate girls!!

I don't hate girls, I just prefer them to be legal and act like they are of legal age.

I can literally see the lineup being something along the lines of;

Queens of the Stone Age

Paramore

Vampire Weekend

The 1975

Blink 182

You Me At Six

Weezer

Franz Ferdinand

Arctic Monkeys

Foals

Two Door Cinema Club

Disclosure

Now how underwhelming and aweful would that be? Yes theres bands I like there but no wow factor at all, I like Foals but subbing no. Queens, VW and Weezer would be brilliant but nothing out the ordinary or shocking.

I'd go if it was that Apart from YMAS and Paramore that would be splendid,you can't have it all though...swap Disclosure with Franz Ferdinand mind (I know that ends up Indie act Vs. Indie act ...same label in fact! But it would be better for me!)

Look on the bright side folks, Soni announcement at 6. Gotta be a better headliner then blink.

[Asdaprice]

Oh and I'd say these years headliners (if correct) is on par to 2011.

Blink and MCR are equally as awful.

Arctics and Muse are both recent HUGE massive UK rock bands.

The co headliners....well there was a reunion factor to 2011 but I prefer the QOTSA and Paramore combo to the strokes and pulp, just because indie bands never excite me live.

Anything can be better than blink.

[Asdaprice]

Anything can be better than blink.

Or equal too. But I reckon it'll be a good one. It'll be interesting when they announce lower bands too cause they usually get interesting exclusives to say the least

That will be debatable!!!

[kaosmark2]

That will be debatable!!!

I've made turds better than Blink songs.

[TheSilence]

It'll be Pearl Jam for Soni I reckon. Just to rub salt in the wound that R&L have Blink.

[kaosmark2]

And yes I'm fully aware of the irony in childishly mocking Blink with faecal matter.

[PDAD]

Placebo have a date in europe on 20th August, seem very likely for R+L with that..

No one said you were. It's not all about you Will.

[Gucci Piggy]

No one said you were. It's not all about you Will.

I was just clarifying in case anybody thought I was that stupid.

[Tobieski]

If Pearl Jam get announced for Sonisphere I'll be so pissed because I cannot stand Iron Maiden or Metallica

[thetime]

I've made turds better than Blink songs.

That wasn't the debate.

[rafflesia]

Dropping random question. Why can't just R/L announce all the headliners like just Download and Sonisphere?

Mother of god please.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Probably Prodigy, they're nowhere to be seen so far right?

[Asdaprice]

No one knows. Probably something to do with marketing or some shit.

Depends on if they are still subs in a lot of fests eyes.
