Lineup 2015

[Mezhyp1]

Disclosure headlining would be seriously clutching at straws, could see them sub though

[Andre91]

Royal Blood subbing is a big jump, but Disclosure headlining is another level. I expect them to sub 2016 with a new album.

[the wonderwhy]

Disclosure are nowhere near headlining anyway

[mrtourette]

Disclosure wouldn't 'headline' headline, the only time they'd be top of the bill would be if they adopted the 'dance act after the main headliner' approach and were seriously short of options. Which it doesn't look like they have, and to be honest I can't see happening any time soon.

[mrtourette]

Royal Blood subbing sounds dafter than Jake Bugg or Macklemore.

[Yellow_Fellow]

They're the right size for it but that in itself is ridiculous

[justanothername]

Royal Blood aren't big enough to sub

[lightning1000]

Yup, although I can't think of an act with less material that's subbed. I'm guessing their album must be ready sooner than we thought.

Either that or they just think people will accept it and they're saving money to spend elsewhere on the line up?

I think Killers and Arctic Monkeys subbed on one album each. Probably a few more as well.

There won't be a new album ready within a year of releasing their last as they've toured relentlessly since releasing it. If them subbing happened (which is doubtful) it'd just be a case of R+L being the only festival this summer to see this hot new band that everyone messed their pants for in 2014.

[Andre91]

Yeah, I was going to say, AM subbed with one album. But that album was MASSIVE. Royal Blood's album doesn't have a patch on the success that AM's debut did.

[the wonderwhy]

Its got the be the closest any indie/rock debut album has come to matching that success since though, surely?

[m0lly]

Haven't really been bothered to read much of this thread so I'm gonna just slither in here...

I agree with Andre. Also, if you think of the scale of fanbases AM & The Killers have in comparison to Royal Blood, that probably helps.

However, I am an avid Royal Blood fan so I would love to see the day

[eFestivals]

Hahaha, not saying it was. Just wouldn't have surprised me if it was. Are you embargoed Neil? Or is the headliner who you've got as tbc?

not embargo'd.

I'm 99% sure the libs are headlining.

[dentalplan]

True but now The Killers and Arctic Monkeys have been so big for so long now it's hard to compare either with Royal Blood who we're talking about right in the middle of this rush of popularity.

I'm kind of in a position where I'm not expecting it but I wouldn't be surprised if Melvin tried to carry it off.

[ToeJaylor]

I'm a bit surprised nothing's been leaked yet like a press release or a dodgy looking poster

Quoting myself

A better comparison would be Kaiser Chiefs come to think about it. One album that got to no. 2 and wasn't as much of a landmark as Hot Fuss or Whatever... but they subbed off the back of that.

There won't be a proper poster for this one. And press releases aren't that common either. You'll most likely just have to wait for 7pm.

[m0lly]

Tbh if the press release at 7 tonight just states 'The Libertines & Peace etc' I will be pretty bummed off considering it's so obvious. And I don't think that's enough for me to want to buy a ticket.

[jonnyisRFC]

Yeah, where all the fake posters @?

[ToeJaylor]

I like fake posters, they at least give us talking points haha

[Andre91]

Should lineup day now be called normie day?

[tyranicide]

What happened to all those people getting the press release by doing some clever web browser mc shizzle

[the wonderwhy]

That was obviously only going to work once

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm hearing it's Linkin Park subbed by Pendulum.

[nickybu]

Am I the only one who would not mind Linkin Park as long as they play Meteora and Hybrid Theory?

[DGrant261]

This setlist may paint a false picture, but surely if Razorlight can headline with a set of just 9 songs Royal Blood subbing isn't beyond the realms of possibility
