Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

Oh!

Well I think that's happening at the moment; saw a video the other day of him playing Smells Like Teen Spirit on bass with them in a studio or something.

[justanothername]

Never gunna happen but Metallica subbed by Rammstein would be ace

Nah, I'd say Rammstein are too big to sub and why would you want them to sub? It would be far better if they headline and brought all of their stage show with them as what is the point of seeing Rammstein live if you don't get to see a shit ton of pyrotechnics

[Rose-Colored Boy]

HAIM are supporting Taylor Swift over in America and although none of the dates actually fall on R&L weekend they're playing LA or something two days before so I guess that probably rules them out.

IIRC they've said they're fucking off from these shores for a bit until album two is ready/out anyway. Probably certainties for a high main stage slot next year though.

Of course ideally I'd love to see them headline but I think they'd be a unpopular booking for the majority of R&l goers (unless they actually saw them, when they'd realise their shows are fucking unreal), hence why I think they'd sub.

[JSmurphy]

What's this talk about Fern Cotton slipping up on R1 and letting slip that the next announcement reveals Libertines as a headliner? Been trying to find something concrete on it but can't find anything.

Someone mentioned that on here yesterday but I'm not sure what happened.

But I reckon they wouldn't take a sub slot and if they did there show would be really poor in comparison

[dentalplan]

Probably just someone reading too much into something. People do that. Not here though.

[justanothername]

I'd have imagined that only Zane Lowe will receive a press release tomorrow and no one at Radio 1 would know who is being announced tomorrow

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Doesnt mean another DJ at the station - particularly one with as many industry friends as Fearne Cotton has - wouldnt know via other means though.

[mrtourette]

HAIM are supporting Taylor Swift over in America

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah my mate, who has apparently never heard of this place coz I subsequently asked him, came up to me in the pub on Friday, and said he was going to see Libertines at Leeds as Fearne had said they were headlining.

I can't see this on my phone

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

It was the day after they were announced for T so I assume she just got mixed up.

[nickybu]

Last year we already head a clear idea of the headliner. And even for the March 10th announcement we had that leaked poster.

This year nothing. Still think Libertines will be announced, as well as Peace and Wombats.

[Gucci Piggy]

Why do people keep suggesting we don't know the headliner? The Libertines are TBC; they're known as much as Arctic Monkeys were last year.

[The Placid Casual]

What's this talk about Fern Cotton

[nickybu]

We aren't sure that Libs will be headlining though. We knew the only position Arctic Monkeys would play was headline.

[Yellow_Fellow]

people have this weird Shrödingers Headliner type thing going on

[justanothername]

Well Neil has came on here several times saying he has had good info (I think maybe multiple sources but I'm not sure). The status as a headliner is also clear with them headlining T

[justanothername]

Obviously our last two headliners are Gorlliaz and Linkin Park

[Gucci Piggy]

They're not gonna headline T and sub R&L. Also Neil said the initial info about them said they're headlining.

Would be nice if he came in and said whether the TBC info was about them headlining or just playing.

[nickybu]

Exactly, theyre TBC on eFests however were not 100% sure if theyre headlining or just playing. Plus we don't really know any other bands besides Peace who are very very likely to be announced.

We know they're headlining, there has been multiple sources saying that they are and we have good reason to believe they're headlining and I'd say we knew less about other bands playing last year than we do this year.

Just as a side point, if Peace sub the NME as many of us appear to think they will, their slots for 13-14-15 will be the same as Enter Shikari for 08-09-10. Expect to see them third on the mainstage in 2019

But enter shikari haven't played 3rd yet? They were 4th last year
