3rd Headliner just confirmed

[eFestivals]

Great news, look forward to hearing the official Pink Floyd reunion announcement this evening

you'll be disappointed when they announce Led Zep then.

[kaosmark2]

soz, but I'm not going to get into answering those sorts of questions - sooner or later I'm likely to be presented with the act's name which then means I have to lie or say what I'm not meant to say.

[eFestivals]

If Neil think its good does this mean its a Reggae act?

lol - well, it might be, but my comment wasn't based around my personal tastes.

If I worked things here on just my personal tastes every news item would be titled something like "festival announces another bunch of shit acts".

[eFestivals]

Fair enough.

It's just frustrating! I'm excited and tense and desperate to know!

yeah well, that's just how it goes.

I'll always swerve questions like that one when i'm not able to say, as I know from experience it goes nowhere good .... hopefully people might grasp that nothing can be deduced by my swerving the question, but I'm probably hoping for too much.

[rachbon]

i was hoping for pulp, but going by what neil is saying, it seems like it might be someone bigger?

i have a feeling i won't have much interest in whoever the headliner is, but still, i can't cope with the excitement!

[eFestivals]

given that so many people had just about decided that it was going to be Placebo, just about all acts are bigger.

[LondonTom]

[Joe-]

I'm more excited that Placebo aren't playing. Woo

[DJL]

An extremely decent headline act.

[rexclark]

He's managed to re-animate Jim Morrison hasn't he? Fantastic news.

[hazzamid11]

5 hours of torture now.

[eFestivals]

Interesting choice of words. Not big, popular or impressive (though it may well also be any or all of these). I'm thinking more of the leonard coehen, kate bush end of the spectrum.

a deliberate choice of words, so nothing too specific can be drawn from it.

FFS, stop trying to read things into my words, there's zilch of specific meaning within them .... but I hope no one is trying to build any words from the first letters of my sentences, else I've given it away.

[eFestivals]

nope, Tom was right above, and it is a reggae act. Let's hope that Bob doesn't smell too bad after 30 years.

Arrrgh, Neil's ramped up the anticipation x100! It's going to be a long and unproductive afternoon!

[dan8k]

Going for ub40' was gonna say that the other day when they were announced for wowfest.

[Moon Monkey]

The Cult?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

No Doubt? They're yet to play any European dates since they reformed, European exclusive or even just a UK exclusive would be a pretty big deal?

[weirdfish]

reggae...Damian Marley?

[smogo]

Oh for fuck's sake, in what way are The Cult or UB40 going to get that kind of reaction from Neil (or anyone else)?

[Poleski]

Moby doesn't seem as impressive considering he played the iTunes festival last year.

No Doubt could be a good shout... Other than that I really can't see anything that it could be.

[rexclark]

My guess is Elton John.

[Joe-]

Moby would still make me squeal.

No Doubt could be it, I remember thinking they were gonna turn up at bestival last year.
