Lineup 2015

[JamieD123]

Ah okay, makes sense. I'm just looking for anything to cling onto that isn't Mumford & Sons so I'm not bored to tears.

What if that thing is Linkin Park?

[foolee]

I can't really see anything other than the headliners being 2 of Libertines/Kasbian/Mumford/Linkin Park and subs being The Vaccines/Alt-J/Fall Out Boy, I don't see there being many other options unless there's someone that is a bit of a random booking as sub ala Kendrick Lamar

[Diocane]

Beck is touring in August. Could be a sub.

[Yellow_Fellow]

oh god this again

[the wonderwhy]

20 quid + booking fee for Vaccines tickets its pretty good.

[Shaun182]

I agree, mumford and sons are possibly the most boring band they could get to headline. No matter how bad linkin parks new stuff is they would easily be more fun than mumford.

[mrtourette]

Beck is touring in August. Could be a sub.

At which festival?

oh god this again

[Diocane]

Flow, Way Out West, Smukfest. Fuckin scandinavian festivals.

[DGrant261]

Don't think the tour sold that well and the album seemed to pretty much bomb which is a shame as I really liked at the time of it's release. Haven't listened to it since then which right enough.

Annoyingly for me it was only Manchester that sold out, and it was a tour of 1,000-2,000 capacity venues. I love them and can't understand why Luminous was so poorly received in comparison to Skying, both are great albums but Luminous is in my eyes the best of the two. Can't see them coming back to R&L as high up as they were last year again, unfortunately .

Beck is touring in August. Could be a sub.

Would be great, but really can't see it happening with the direction R&L is going

[JamieD123]

What if that thing is Linkin Park?

I'm preparing for disappointment among the ranks, but I actually quite like Linkin Park. Granted their 4th album is utter shit and anything since, while better pales in comparison to their first 3 albums (although the first hasn't aged all that well) I actually think they'd be pretty fun live. That's coming from someone that hasn't seen them though.

[Yellow_Fellow]

luminous was awful, they should forget the last two albums ever happened

[justanothername]

He won't play

[DomDom1984]

Beck would be third from the top at a push.

[justanothername]

Luminous is the best silly!

[JamieD123]

So do those European festivals with Beck playing mean Florence and Alt-J are pretty fair guesses? I'd really hope if so Florence would sub rather than headline, it'd just seem like a weak booking otherwise. Happy there'd be possibility for The War On Drugs to play at least!

[LondonTom]

Forget their best work by a country mile?! Madness!

[dentalplan]

At which festival?

Bend Aid

[the wonderwhy]

I thought Luminous was decent. Not as good as Skying though.

They were shit last year. A mosh pit broke out which was just weird.

[Diocane]

God is a pig imo

[rawaudioinput]

At Field Day Faris said that performing was like a "Mexican standoff"; definitely set a new low for Mexican standoffs

[supreme]

So after everything are Libertines a definite 100%?

[the wonderwhy]

No

[the wonderwhy]

Pete Doherty on Radio 1 on Thursday with new material. Dunno if it's solo or Libertines.

Alt-J probably are. Florence could, but because she'll only play one or two festivals she's less likely than Alt-J are. She could easily headline Glastonbury/V instead, and I reckon she's more likely for Glasto.
