T In The Park 2014

[thetime]

Yes. As I said. July 30th. It says it right there.

How many July festivals have announced anything? We've got T saying Arctic Monkeys, but seeing as the announcements are a bit thin on the ground, I think it's too early to judge based on that.

[Matt42]

I think If I was someone different, you all wouldn't have questioned this much

Arcade Fire are headlining Glastonbury & T in the The Park.

That's all I have to say.

Regarding Roskilde, its probably the case they are in demand for there but another fest, Northside (who is building a cracking lineup)... pipped them to booking them. The most revealing of how close they are to being available will be if say Rock Werchter and Optimus announce them, even if they play T, it would be two weeks before the US tour starts

There's also the possibility that they rearranged the later U.S. dates to extend their stay in Europe. All sorts of reasons could lead to Arcade Fire still being here.

You got a wee bit of insider info paul?

[dentalplan]

There's not many European festivals they can play in July anyway:

• Open'er
• Werchter
• Roskilde (Northside)
• Optimus (Rock in Rio Lisbon)
• T in the Park
• BBK (Primavera)
• Benicassim (Primavera)

So I'll probably go ahead and believe Roskilde that they're not around.

Just because they don't have any dates in America before the end of July, doesn't mean they won't be back in America earlier than that. They do live there, and have kids; they can't just stick around in another continent for an extra month for no reason.

[Gingo]

As I was unaware of their touring schedule (which still seems a bit inconclusive) but I think it probably does rule out T sadly

[DomDom1984]

I'm cynical btw. I just don't see why people are so quick to rule it out. I'm 50/50 on it.

[mrtourette]

That's all I have to say.

[foolee]

Everyone seems very against this, I know unlikely but not too unrealistic really...

People just seem to be going on what the organiser said about Arcade Fire, has anyone got a link for this, hear lots of talk but never seen this and besides do you really going to believe a festival organiser on what they say. And I doubt a festival organiser would come out and say 'this band aren't playing because another festival got them over ours', it's much easier to be like 'they're not going to be around when it's our festival'. This way by the time AF announce festivals in july, IF they do then most normal people unlike us forum dewellers would have forgotten this small nothing statement.

Just a thought...

Some people are believing what they're seeing and hearing, some people aren't. There's no proof either way and there won't be until that are or aren't announced, and when that happens it will be shown whether the information at the moment which suggests that they won't be around in July was correct or not.

I know you're looking for a reason to believe it's going to happen, but this has been played out for long enough that nobody's opinion is going to change without some real information/announcements.

[Gingo]

The only thing thats still making me cling onto hope is that article where they were talking about doing a big Scottish show and mentioned TITP or doing something along those lines, but it is definitely not enough for any more than hope

Franz Ferdinand, Pixies, Skrillex, Major Lazer all playing Werchter the week before T, wouldnt be surprised if any of them show up

[harryomatic]

Pretty happy if Franz, Pixies, and Skrillex were there. Franz I guess would be high or mid on the main stage, or Tut's headliner. Pixies same, though probably better suited to Tut's headliner. Skrillex Tut's or NMe headliner possibly.

Also just seen KoL playing Milton Keynes bowl next summer. Reminds me of 2011 when Foo Fighters did MK Bowl and TITP... Please Geoff no...
