Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Optimus Alive 2013 is looking likely for me then. I had such an amazing time this year & I've been wanting to see Depeche Mode for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 same .... although hopefully the flights wont jump in price so quickly like last year.... off to America soon so wont be able to afford for while (unless i make money in Vegas HA) but the fest was amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisw16 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Depeche Mode seem like a good headliner, thought that last years line up was a real mixed draw. Still a great festival which I loved last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The fact that they're now ruled out of Bestival & I can't make the arena date in May has lead me to conclude that I shall most definitely be returning to Optimus next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisw16 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Tickets on sale now, just under £100 for the whole weekend with and extra £13 for the camping. £50 for a day ticket. Still stupidly cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Ridiculously cheap still! Can anyone remember at what point the headliners were announced for the 2012 festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 hmmm Radiohead early ... then it was Stone Roses, Justice and Florence around december i think ... then Cure in March? i remember we all thought Florence were the headliners .... with a small chance that they werent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davydenko Posted October 26, 2012 Report Share Posted October 26, 2012 Last Year November - Radiohead December : Stone Roses, Florence, Snow Patrol, Justice, Metronomy, Mazzy Star, Caribou Last days of January - The Cure BBK Live festival, in Bilbao Spain used to share a couple of headliners, they already have Depeche, and I hear rumours about Neil Young & Crazy Horse to BBK or Green Day. I hope this guys wont pick GD, I Really hate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Something like this perhaps? Neil Young Depeche Mode Black Sabbath Manic Street Preachers Bloc Party Deftones I'm hoping they don't go for a boring booking like Green Day or Metallica.

Chrisw16 Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 Can see Muse headlining, big band who haven't played the festival before and haven't got any dates in Portugal on their current European tour. Optimus is near impossible to predict though, some of the placings over the years have been weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 27, 2012 Report Share Posted October 27, 2012 I thought that as soon as I'd posted, but I hope it's not Muse, I find them terribly boring (or at least their new stuff is.) Prodigy is another band I could see doing it, as they'll no doubt be touring a lot over the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisw16 Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Anyone think the XX would be a decent bet to sub under Depeche Mode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kushaze Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) So my summer of 2013 is going to be awesome. I am planning on Glastonbury and Roskilde Festivals for sure. Thinking about adding one other festival pending on the lineup. Its between Oxegen and Optimus Alive. Flights from Copenhagen to Dublin and Dublin to back home are cheap (relative to other cities) but I suspect Optimus Alive's lineup might differentiate itself. Any thoughts?

Sketchead Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I absolutely loved everything about this festival this summer. I'm going to be a bit skint with Glastonbury and whatnot, but if there's a few really good names, I think I'm gonna head back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisw16 Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Optimus just posted on facebook "More news coming this week, stay tuned" Another headliner to be announced hopefully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner66 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Kings Of Leon are confirmed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 meh ...... not been impressed since seeing them in 2007 ....puts me back into looking for other festivals atm .... still alot to be announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Personally they do very little for me. Though I don't think they were as bad at Leeds 2009 as some people professed. Either way them getting announced means I may be able to tempt a few more of my friends (who don't have the best taste in music) to come with me now.

PastCaring Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Well, we'll see what else they go on to announce - saw KoL on their first ever tour of the UK - up close and personal, you could say , when they played Youth and Young Manhood 2 1/2 times over cause they had no other material - very entertaining - reminded me of that scene in The Blues Brothers where they play that Country and Western club - he he I hear that their performances can be very hit and miss these days, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchead Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Kings of Leon are alright, I loved their first three albums, not much of a fan of the other stuff. Subsequently my mother developed a love for their poor, radio friendly albums (like most mothers did) and now she's in love with them. I've had to take her to their last few tours. They always seem to tour around her birthday (July) so they cost me a pissing fortune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davywalsh7 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Anyone know if the ticket prices that are up now are early bird or if they stay at that price? And if and/or when did it sell out last year? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
