Killers headlining Hangout Music Festival in USA this year, so are they really on a break?

sure i read they werent touring for the foreseeable future

[DomDom1984]

It seems that it's a one off festival appearance for them.

cool. I did read that 1 of the band didnt want to travel for a while

[foolee]

I can see something like this

Justin Timberlake/Jay Z

Chase and Status

Example

The Prodigy

Elbow

Avicii

Why do so many people think Calvin will headline again...I can't see it, been there something like 5 of the last 7 years or something ridiculous like that? Great act, will pull a big crowd, but he headlined last year...

If Jay Z and JT headline then I'm giving it a miss for the first time in 7 years...couldn't care less about either of them...if they get Kasabian/Chase and Status then I may reconsider but for the money I pay...you can get so much more for it elsewhere...as and Essex lad, it is convenient but as every year passes it loses its appeal acts wise.

Did V suddenly become a smaller festival?

That wouldn't be so bad to be fair. Think Example would be more likely to be opposite Prodigy than Hova though. Also I swear to god 'The Legends of Summer' was only a one-year thing, have they reinstated it now given how many people are suggesting JT and Hova sticking together :S

I've still got a really random inkling based on nothing whatsoever that V might have the Foos. Really surprised Glasto haven't got them given they haven't played there since like Bible times, the only reason I can think of is that they're exclusives somewhere else?

I think the Foos will wait until next year to hit the UK.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Whyyyyyy So frustrating, they're so damn good.

[Matt42]

Chase And Status doing Sundown on the 30th.

Highly reckon they will take a sub spot this year

Would they rather headline second stage or sub main? I think thats there only 2 options, wouldnt take anything lower.

They could wait, but would they get much more money for waiting an extra year? Create more demand for them but Coldplay and Muse will be in the mix as well presumably, so this year they have less competition for being the biggest name at a festival

Personally i'd say a sub is what they'd probably be booked for, I don't know what it is, but they always seem to fit underneath a huge headliner.

[DomDom1984]

It's not about waiting for more money. It's the higher demand that will come with the new album when it's released.

Pretty much any major festival would be happy to have them and would probably sell out anyway. New album or not they have a big demand anyway

Are we any closer to knowing when the new stuff is due? It was this time last year when Dave announced at the Brit Awards that he was heading right off to the States to work on the new album so it surely can't be still more than six months away..

[Com Truise]

well they said at the end of the year they'll "begin recording soon" and supposedly recording in 10+ countries, and they posted the picture of the master tapes a few weeks ago. I imagine they're finishing recording now. It'll probably end up coming out late summer time.

If they were wanting to really focus on promoting the new album, wouldnt Glasto be a better platform to do that? Could anyone see them being saturday night headliner? Wouldnt think it would fit in with older act that they are after but it could happen...Maybe next year?

would surely be perfect for R&L if they hadn't headlined there on the last album then

[daniel.k]

Its either Ireland or Hardwell, but either way I hope V doing get to this level

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Bit of an extreme case, though there was that 1 person out of 180,00 attendees who died at V the other year.

[daniel.k]

Yeah extreme case, but similar happened at an Avicii show last year in Scotland so maybe its a UK but not English thing? Pre-drinking gone wrong

[DarthSaul]

Seriously who predrinks until they throw up? stupid

[DomDom1984]

Pre-drinking is a seriously daft term.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I agree, I much prefer 'prinks'.

[daniel.k]

Apparently them...
