and nor do i, me and R&L should get married

i read it on here, don't look at me :(

Haha I'm just saying they're more of a V band, like Ash, Shed Seven, James, the type V use to keep a small amount of the older punters going

and me too, but I've only read people on here questioning Pharrell's exclusive, the only article I've seen related to Wireless exclusives is that it's Bruno and Kanye's only UK live performance, nothing about Pharrell? So I don't think he should be discounted

i don't even know who they are, from their silly name i thought they were an NME hype :resent:

these 'exclusives' are so damn 'flexible' anyway, i'm perfectly happy just to wait until Monday now. will be pissed if Kanye and Bruno turn up at V having paid £140 to see them at Wireless but other than that..

He wasnt a very inspirational anything

goddamnit I had to resist that very obvious comment so hard.

I doubt Kanye would, but Bruno could be somewhere, maybe Glasto?

I was looking at the birmingham wireless as its up the road from my uni (i think, sounds close but not sure) but I dont think I could part with £60 to see kanye rant for half the set

You are aware they aren't called Inspirational Carpets, and that's why I posted that?

they're a Manc band from yonks ago, Noel Gallagher used to be a roadie for them

When did exclusives start meaning nothing? Far as I can tell, things that have been billed as exclusives, have been exclusives? I can't think of anything that hasn't. If it says that Bruno and Kanye are UK festival exclusives to Wireless then they're not gonna pop up anywhere else

Sorry thought Drake was the other exclusive, with Wireless saying Bruno was just having his first headline set at Wireless. My fault

Could anyone see Drake being at V? Unless he is exclusive too

yes dear, and similarly there's no band called the twilight saga or sven goran eriksson. isn't being a festival nerd fun xoxoxoxo

high praise indeed

didn't say meaningless i said flexible :) how many times have 'festival exclusives' turned up at radio 1 big weekends? one of the 'exclusive' headliners at latitude is playing a 6 Music festival in manchester. and the way they can word them as well - Chic & NR's Bestival 'beach party' being a prime example. i just don't trust these festivals any more :P

When we're talking festival exclusives we're talking the major 'proper' ones i.e. Latitude, Bestival, Glasto, IOW, Wireless, TITP, V, R&L, Download, Soni. Not the piddly 'festivals' that pop up like the 6 music one, or Dot to Dot.

You don't get an act being billed as a UK exclusive e.g. Blink at R&L, for them to go on and headline TITP.

Radio 1's Big Weekend hardly counts either as people don't buy tickets to it, so the festival exclusive at wherever else remains unaffected

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
