Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

Just posted it in the DL section, but what do you think of the chances of RHCP playing DL are? Sold loads of tickets for IOW this year and are releasing a new album. If R&L don't go for them I could see it.

Pantera, Slipknot, RHCP.

[the wonderwhy]

Fucking hell how tragic would a modern day AC/DC gig be?

[Gucci Piggy]

How tragic are AC/DC? Although I'd probably go along to check one of their sets out if there was nothing else I wanted to see.

[mattgimmeshelter]

AC/DC Have apparently confirmed to people they are touring the UK in June, that's where the DL / Glasto rumours are from.

I think AC/DC doing Download is way more likely than Glasto.

I think download will be slipknot, AC/DC, maybe the faith no more sound garden coheadline that's been going round?

In the glasto section, Neil said that foos have been in talks with glasto before. But chosen R&L in the past because grohl loves the festival. I reckon we could see foos being back as reading as a safe big booking.

As will said, my guess is muse, fleetwood and Florence for glasto.

[dentalplan]

AC/DC are only tragic if you take them completely seriously. Certainly no more tragic than Muse.

If they're touring UK in June then that makes them very unlikely for Download.

If they're touring UK in June then that makes them very unlikely for Download.

"Touring" could mean play a festival though. I can't see AC/DC playing lots of shows in one country, maybe one or two dates maximum. So to them, a headline show at download would count as a UK tour.

[the wonderwhy]

I think they said Europe, rather than UK, which is where the Download rumour would come from

[dentalplan]

They've already said they're playing Hampden and Wembley haven't they?

[the wonderwhy]

I have no idea, I heard Europe but I'd presume nothing that's being said is accurate at the moment anyway.

[dentalplan]

I assume they would be in Europe too but it was Johnson himself that said those stadium dates would happen, and Download wouldn't book them with other huge dates and have nixed negotiations because of ot before, which was all I meant by them being unlikely.

AC/DC are great fun live. I'd really enjoy seeing them again. I don't think their exaggerated cock rock and stage show is any more gimmicky than Foos.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Apparently stadium dates make them less likely for glasto, but more likely for download. Just from what I've been reading.

[dentalplan]

What an odd thing to say.

[lightning1000]

Matt, stop please. Cheers

[TheSilence]

I never had Kaosmark down as an AC/DC fan.

Anyway I reckon Florence, Muse, Blur or something shit like that

[dentalplan]

He's got the jack.

Blur are over yo. Not over over but Bloc Party over.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Royal Blood's debut has sold 40K in two days and is on course to block Ariana Grande (that annoying american singer) from going #1.

If Royal blood continue they could sell 80,000 upwards, which is more than Kasabian managed with their newest album.

I knew they were an up and coming band, but I didn't think they were that big!

[TheSilence]

Oh are they I didn't know that, that's a shame.

Swap out Blur for Metallica or someone else then. Whatever

[the wonderwhy]

Royal Blood to headline.

(just so I get the gazza points when it happens)

[TenInchToenaiIs]

My mum has given Royal Blood her seal of approval

[TheSilence]

Royal Blood will be the 2019 headliner provided they and the festival are still going lol

[#FreeComTruise]

Shit post incoming

I'm bored, so if anyone cares I went through all the albums released since the beginning of 2013 up until this years festival for headliner sized/strong sub who released a top 10 album

Foals

David Bowie

30STM

Depeche Mode

The Strokes

Daft Punk

Black Sabbath

A7X

Justin Timberlake

Kanye West

Jay-Z

Kings of Leon

Chase & Status

Pearl Jam

Arcade Fire

Elbow

Paolo Nutini

The Black Keys

Coldplay

Kasabian

Linkin Park

Morrissey

I reckon only a quarter of these are even slightly likely though

[TheSilence]

My mum has given Royal Blood her seal of approval

What does she think of Seal?

[TenInchToenaiIs]

What does she think of Seal?

Unsure, I'll get back to you
