T In The Park 2014

[foolee]

What I mean is, what if they assume t are gonna book them and t don't actually want them..

[harryomatic]

Why wouldn't T want Biffy though? Everyone saw at R/L this year that they are more than capable of headlining a major festival. They have a number 1 album under their belts, and a big back catalogue to fall back on. They are Scottish and it'll be there 10th appearance at the festival, which will give DF's marketing team a field day. They are massively popular right now, and so bound to shift plenty of tickets.

Only reason I can think of that they might do Summer Sessions rather than T is that DF might want Scottish acts to headline the dates to tie in with Commonwealth Games. In which case you could have Biffy and Calvin Harris, then someone like Emeli Sande perhaps? Paolo Nutini?

Beyonce headlining Summer Sessions rather than doing T could be a good shout, if they're not going for all Scottish acts

So looking likely that its Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro and Eminem. Cant complain about that

oh and you arcade fire info is rubbish of course Matt.

[sisco]

You would imagine if true that would sell pretty solidly.

[harryomatic]

Which days do we think those three would play? Biffy on the Friday night (slightly smaller act than the other two), and I'm not sure which way round Eminem and Arctics would play. Both make a big Saturday night headliner, and both make a nice festival closer. Biffy would also make a nice festival closer as well though...

I feel like it would go Biffy, Eminem, Arctics

[Ukulelelad92]

Biffy will be at either Titp or that Glasgow session thing, that's a bit obvious.

Most likely T

Arctics/biffy/?

[Matt42]

I'm gonna take the Matt Davies approach to this.

Biffy have no gigs announced in July, they aren't touring in July.

[thetime]

You do realise if biffy were playing the Glasgow summer sessions they could still be a UK festival exclusive at IOW?

[mrtourette]

Yeah if Biffy were a UK festival exclusive they'd be advertised as one. That they're only advertised an English festival exclusive points to them playing another festival in the UK but not in England.

[blue6field]

Those headliners would be a big disappointment for me, and would show a major lack of ambition.

Lets be honest - no one listens to any new Eminem material so everyone would be looking for the same hits show as last time at T.

I'm tempted to book for that Irish Arcade Fire + Pixies event.

[Chiefski]

€61.50 for the Arcade Fire / Pixies gig... so roughly £50 thats not bad at all, might get another support act or two on top of them from Glastonbury too I'd imagine.

[Ukulelelad92]

Wouldn't IOW of advertised it as this though?

didnt know the prices cheers for that!

that seems like a bargain to me

[Muppetmark]

expecting: skrillex, the hives, 30stm, foals and wiz kalifa from that rock-a-field announcement

Oh wow not 30stm! :')

[harryomatic]

Just glanced back at page 1 of this thread. Some of the very first guesses back in July were Arctic Monkeys, Biffy Clyro, and Kings of Leon. Goes to show I think just how predictable TITP can be.

lazy bookings is a bit of a specialty subject for T these days
