I don't listen to rap music but I get cool points for saying that don't I?

Also why do I keep reading that Metallica/Slipknot prediction? It's always there. Every year.

[Gucci Piggy]

Right don't laugh at me here cause I'm gonna sound like a right fucking turd head, but I was laid in bed last night thinking of how many, out of the top 6 acts, for the past three festivals, I wouldn't have expected in those slots when we started predicting..

2012:

Expected - Kasabian, Foo Fighters

Didn't expect - The Cure, Paramore, Florence and the Machine, The Black Keys

2013:

Expected - Green Day, Biffy Clyro

Didn't expect - Eminem, System of a Down, Chase and Status, Nine Inch Nails

2014:

Expected - Queens of the Stone Age, Paramore, Arctic Monkeys

Didn't expect - Blink-182, Jake Bugg, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis

When I say "expected" I mean I wouldn't have been surprised if I was told it would be them.

Even some of the expected ones became unexpected due to later info (Kasabian claiming they were gonna play outdoor shows and Green Day's Emirates show).

Florence is debatable I guess, but there were less V-style bookings prior to then and I didn't think they'd book her at the time.

So overall, 11/18 (rising to 13/18) of the top 6 acts have been surprises to me over the past three festivals, so I guess we can hope for a few next year to spice up these boring lineups that keep getting predicted.

A nice thought for you all

It seems to have replaced the recurring Green Day predictions we had for many years...

[kaosmark2]

Can we point and whisper?

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah that's cool man.

[dentalplan]

Heavy day and Weezer and BMTH headlining NME the other nights? Imagine.

[Gucci Piggy]

And Pendulum, too. Very interesting sub.

Haha was going to say that earlier.

If I remember correctly Florence was leaked quite a while before she was announced. But at the time it was "nailed on" that she'd be subbing the cure. But it turned out she was actually subbing kasabian and no one predicted paramore

EDIT: actually I remember

The cure

Florence

Kasabian

Kaiser chiefs

Foo fighters

The black keys

Was "leaked" a week before the announcement if I remember. Everyone believed it as well.

No it wasn't, and no they didn't.

If you don't say Watch The Throne you're wrong

First best?

[TheSilence]

First best?

Don't know why I said that

Probably cos I was replying to a quote saying "second best" and my brain just shut down
