bring dat magic over here, aye aye

[mrtourette]

This is probably the most conjectured post i'm ever gonna make

I doubt it.

[The Shermanator]

Obviously blink182 not to play. I'd bet shikari headline Nme this year pumpkins to sub Metallica

[The Shermanator]

Two door or vaccines to sub libertines?

[mrtourette]

The Vaccines are a perfectly reasonable shout to sub.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think Shikari have ruled themselves out.

Smashing Pumpkins said something bitchy in an interview recently about a festival trying to book them below one hit wonder bands. Can't remember the quote exactly but it sounded like they may have been talking about R&L, so that'd make them more unlikely.

Edit: And yeah, I'd say Vaccines/Two Door/Alt-J to sub Libertines.

He implied multiple festivals but I don't seem to remember much that could identify it as R&L, it was posted in the Crap bands thread if anyone wants/can be bothered to check.

[Yellow_Fellow]

It didn't sound any more like R&L than any other fest

Also, yeah, Shikari have confirmed they're Download only

[Matt42]

Shit I dunno if its mad to suggest this

You know about the whole top 10 album thing? Couldn't of been talking about Jack White could he? Seeing as Jack looks to be touring throughout 2015

[dentalplan]

It said he'd turned down offers to play UK fests. I assumed that meant all of them. Where else is offering him anyway? Bang Face Weekender?

[dentalplan]

No he doesn't.

[foolee]

I'd be happy with Jack White headlining...

[The Shermanator]

And thoughts on a nme dance headliner. Example this year?

[The Shermanator]

Love Friday dance night at leeds 2many djs justice knife party and disclosure been fantastic in the last 4 years

I'd be surprised if R&L were even offering them a slot imo.

Don't be silly.

I can very much see Jack White playing next year. maybe he can cohead w/ libs ayyy

It's very rare for previous headliners to come back to not headline and when they do it's because of a bump of popularity which they haven't had.

When has Jack White headlined Reading?

[jump]

When has Jack White headlined Reading?

Ah, I thought we were talking about Pumpkins. Jack has already headlined R&L with The White Stripes tho

Edited January 9, 2015 by jump

[Yellow_Fellow]

Wait yeah I can see how you meant that. Both Pumpkins and Jack have said that recently so

[dentalplan]

I'm very doubtful he'd still be touring then (last known date is in April in US) but why would Jack White headline? And said what recently?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Well last year he said he'd only do Glasto, innit

Ah okay I couldn't remember the quote. I just remember us saying it made them less likely and assumed the quote made it sound like R&L. But yeah what other UK fest would be offering them a slot below one hit wonder acts? Maybe T wanted them as their token one good act per year a la Pixies and MBV/Kraftwerk (okay two acts that year).

I guess R&L must have offered them 3rd down below BMTH.
