rexclark Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Could be interesting if they don't have a headliner to see what they can pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul ™ Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Perhaps they realised how bitchy they sounded & took the conversation down. RDB is a radio 1 dj after all, we all know they aren't allowed negative opinions on anything. I suppose that could mean that the slot is still open, or it could be taken to mean that the Friday headliner just hasn't been announced yet. Either w ay I wish they'd hurry up & get on with it, I'm impatient now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_JohnConnell Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Am I the only one who's paying attention to the fact that Vampire Weekend haven't really announced their festivals yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey1989 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Apart from glastonbury , longitude , the Olympic stadiium , a host of European festivals but I can see them being there and at reading / Leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Nah, I don't see any space left for them at R&L. I'd actually rather like them to be the last headliner, but I don't see how you can think you're the only one to bring them up JohnConnell, if you care to look they've been discussed several times in this thread very thread.

bigjontour Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 id like vampire weekend, but cant help thinking they suit a sunny day more than in the dark? but ive yet to see them at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSqCcl1Gzuk Their Coachella set was in the dark (for the most part) & was pretty good I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexclark Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have very little interest in Vampire Weekend but I would say they'd be a decent enough headliner. Still don't see it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the wonderwhy Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Suede aren't doing fests this year apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justiceforcedave Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 According to Rob Da Bank's twitter he's announcing big acts plural for Bestival and Camp Bestival tonight. So It'll be more then just the Friday night headliner (Although the way I read that suggests to me it could mean one for Bestival AND one for Camp Bestival rather then a number of B/CB acts.

Muppetmark Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Elton John announced for Hyde as well now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 So the exclusivity & the whole 'first festival he's played' stuff was a load of bollocks. Depending of course upon how you define a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yeah I think you would be clutching at straws to call the Hyde Park thing a festival in the traditional sense- but I suppose realistically how much does it matter? The agreed fees wd likely to have been agreed at the time based on the exclusivity, if anything has changed then presumably the contract allowed for it and the fee also allowed for it?

Muppetmark Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I'm guessing a) thats why this announcement was so late (was in the contract) its like wertcher boutique its not classified as a festival, its a glorified gig in a field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 Ellie Goulding, Noah & the Whale, Hurts & a few others from the Electric Picnic line up will probably be added soon I would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisque Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Elton's played Mercedes Benz World just round the corner from me with a chosen line up of support acts... that's a pretty open outdoor big space akin to a day long music festival. Except everyone had to sit down in their allocated seats in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
