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.

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.

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 :dancing:

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.

Quoting myself B)

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.

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

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. :P

    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
