T In The Park 2014

[Gingo]

That is cheap compared to £140 to see Fleetwood Mac at the Hydro.

[mrtourette]

My point was just that it's their least critically acclaimed album, and so it was received poorly (by critics) compared to the rest of their albums.

[mrtourette]

On their way down though.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I get that, I was just saying in the greater scheme of things regarding Muse's festival bookings next year it doesn't matter one iota how the critics rated their last album.

[DomDom1984]

It's certainly true that The 2nd Law was poorer received than the rest, but not by much, with the exception of "Origin of Symmetery" which is the only one which stands out. The rest of the albums got reviews which were mostly positive ( and yes, that is including the latest album ), but some thumbs in the middle.

There has been no sharp downturn. There's been no real difference both commercially and critically for them. So I'm pretty confused as to why this would have any sort of effect on them. In truth, it would appear that they're getting almost the same sort of press now as they were before, and unlike the Resistance tour, their live shows are actually getting pretty universal praise again, which is actually one of the real keys to what makes them a big live draw.

Fleetwood Mac for TITP 2014!!!!!

But in all seriousness they were outstanding and the Hydro is shaping up to be a world class venue

[DomDom1984]

The 2nd Law tour was so much better than The Resistance one. The Resistance arena tour was the most boring, predictable Muse tour there's been.

Bastille

[DomDom1984]

Haven't really given Bastille much thought actually. Suppose they could play a better slot than this year.

I suspect that Example might be one of the Radio 1 headliners. Tinie Tempah will play a main stage spot I reckon. CHVRCHES will be high on King Tuts or afternoon Radio 1 I think. Franz Ferdinand I'm tipping for a decent slot on ANY stage, but I think headlining Tuts is the best bet. Manics to headline a Tuts night as well.

Del Amitri to be a main stage opener one of the days. Glasvegas to headline transmissions. Elbow in their usual sub spot. Vampire Weekend to get a good main stage slot. Placebo to get an afternoon slot on main or a good spot on one of the other big stages.

That's my guesswork done for the day.

[Gingo]

All want and all possible to play

Biffy Clyro

Daft Punk

Arctic Monkeys

Travis

Manic Street Preachers

Avicii

Haim

Weezer

Feeder

Vampire Weekend

Two Door Cinema Club

The Temper Trap

The Temperance Movement

Nas

[DomDom1984]

Two Door Cinema Club ain't a possible I don't think. Apparently they're gonna be locked in the studio a lot of next year.

[harryomatic]

Could definitely see Bastille being on main stage middle of the day, or high up on King Tuts next year.

[Tobieski]

Bastille are bigger than that, they could easily manage something like third main next year?

[Deeps]

[Gingo]

Seen someone posting in the DL forum about some July festivals waiting to hear back from RATM about playing, could TITP be one of them? Wouldn't think they were in the current target audience they have been trying to build but could be a change of direction and they have a lot of history with the festival being the first ever headliner so maybe a possiblity
