2014

Haha I'm not going to give it away, this is enjoyable, you will kick yourself when you understand the final clue though.

What festival are we even on about, IoW? Was the last clue 'ill tell you if you are hot or cold'

[Boris The Spider]

I cant really see myself ever going to Reading or Leeds unless 30 Second To Mars were on, then I would take my girlfriend as she wants to see them. I like the undercard more of R&L than the headliners, but I wouldnt pay the full price to see just the undercard but my taste 'is limited'

They're on an arena tour this year, take her there.

Yeah IOW and no that was me saying I'd tell him how close his guess were

[daniel.k]

Yeah I could but there only doing a couple of dates arent they? like 3 or 4, I think thats what I saw on here, and i arent a fan of them so at least a festival there would be something else for me to do that day

Yeah IOW and no that was me saying I'd tell him how close his guess were

Okay, well I think if you knew for certain who will be there then you would have said already so people could talk about it, but its fun watching people guess and everything

[Boris The Spider]

It'd probably be cheaper than going to a whole festival though? I imagine a UK tour involves more than 3 or 4 dates.

I don't know for certain, I just know what rawaudioinput pm'd me with, which was what John Giddings has in mind for IOW2014, two of which he thinks are pretty much in the bag, because the two acts are keen to play the fest.

The only reason I'm not saying is because I promised him I wouldn't share it

[Boris The Spider]

Even I want to know now.

And rawadioinput knows it for certain, is he the person in the IoW thread that showed him their list of people they want to have at the fest and John wrote something down, as it to say thats a good booking if we got them?

nobody knows for certain not even John as it could fall through of course, I'm not sure about in the IOW thread, but yeah he put that in the R&L 2014 thread cause John also told him he thinks R&L are certain to get Arctics next year.

He doesn't want to say it in the forum because he thinks it might affect the booking if people start talking about it.

Im unsure about the ins and outs but is he likely spill the beans to a random person? Its not rocket science with the arctics to be fair, they are doing the early summer fests this year so obviously will do the late summer ones next year.

I just checked and yes he is, he wanted Depeche Mode, Muse and The Prodigy for headliners. I dont think John would be looking on here and thinking oh no people have talked about it so I wont book someone who I have nearly got signed and would be a big ticket pull

True, I dont see why he would spill to someone, but maybe they know each other or something. Why does it matter where in the summer the fest is, if Reading moved to beginning of summer for some random reason I dont see how Arctics would turn it down just because of the date

[Pothuthic]

There is one act you might have to get ready for. - Coldplay (light sticks?)

Some people think this act could headline but John thinks they're wrong. Although putting an act after them could be a bit silly, or a bit of a protege. - Prodigy?

I picture this booking could sound surreal. - Clueless

A country band but not really. - Lumineers or Mumford

I haven't a clue, but of course it isn't a set in stone sort of thing

with the Arctics, I think R&L could get outbid by T/V, but apparently they're determined to get them no matter what

I think it's more people expect the bands, but it may still fall through, and then it'll look a bit shit for the fest if they were going to get certain bands, but ended up not getting them

Yeah they could hand light bands out to everyone, that HAS to work

I think Prodigy would be able to headline and I dont see why John would mean they couldnt

I dont think Lumineers could headline, that one kind of leads to Mumfords or maybe Passenger

Not too many peole on here go to IoW although I might next year as my girlfriend goes most years, but she didnt go this year. Even if it fell through, as long as a reasonable replacement was found I dont think people would be too down about it.

[Com Truise]

If John pulls it off I think I might go, although it may not be to your tastes

Not to everyone, just chuck about 200 out into the audience LMFAO did at V.

And currently Passenger is a one hit wonder, if IOW would let him headline then they might as well let Chesney Hawkes, Rick Astley and Bob The Builder headline.

[daniel.k]

That means they are more suited to R&L or Download then which could mean the 3 that rawaudioinput suggested

Passenger has a couple of hits just not in UK...but I didnt mean him seriously I just thought of him as he came on TV earlier. I think he will be at a couple of fests next year, like T, V, IoW and Bestival, maybe Glasto if he can get Wrong Direction and Holes brought out on the next few months

[Pothuthic]

He won't headline ever though

[daniel.k]

Yeah I know...thats why I didnt mean it. I can see him headlining a real small place, maybe a 5000 capacity thing or something

[sisco]

Something like Wakestock

[daniel.k]

I dont know the capacity of wakestock but maybe.

[Matt42]

Yup, I think kasabian might take another festival break next year and do European festivals.

I don't think they will play v until after they've played glasto, as that's what the want to do.

[rawaudioinput]

Passenger isn't headlining IOW, don't worry.

[daniel.k]

I think V should go to 3 days and keep the price similar to what it is, as most peole complain that V is over priced because of it only being two days. Then they could have a guitar band, a pop act and a indie/mumfords type band. Then they could have Mumfords Kasabian and JT or something similar.

Would Kasabian not do European and UK fests the same year?
