Lineup 2015

[lightning1000]

Alt-j headlined before they'd done an academy tour. Trying to make sense of placements is pointless.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah Peace are an NME sub easy. It's literally like one slot higher than they played last year (I tend to see NME sub as around equivalent to 5th Main).

[DGrant261]

It's an extensive tour of small venues, once this jaunt is done I reckon their next stint will be a very short academy tour, which isn't really NME sub level

This is the level Chvrches were at 4 months after subbing the NME stage, so Peace subbing really isn't a bad booking

Also Deafheaven probably aren't playing this year again for anyone who held onto a shred of hope

i suppose i shouldnt get my hopes up about the faithless reunion hitting reading

[kaosmark2]

There any chance of Bob Mould playing you reckon? Still banging out great records and a back catalogue which would kill anything else on the bill.

lol not at Reading.

Correct.

You should be okay being in london though.

[JSmurphy]

A little off topic but I'm ecstatic with the Faithless reunion, especially since London is easily accessible for me. Going to be a fucking dream.

Never been to somerset house but damn it looks brilliant. I read the capacity is circa 3,000 which seems a little small to me, but that's all conjecture, I guess we won't have any real idea of a venue (and more importantly its size) until they reveal more of their plans. I personally can't see them only doing one London gig, but then again it's an anniversary event so anythings possible.

i think if they are propperly touring instead of it being a one off gig, starting somewhere intimate like that sounds good, besides im hoping its not hyde park tickets for somerset house are about 35ish which is reasonable and itd be quite a nice place to be for their reunion. also other than lovebox i can't see something else that gives the right date frame if they are doing a european festival in august as was leaked.

If it was meant to be an "intimate" tour why did they add dates according to demand and have some of the shows on the tour taking place more than a month after the album is released? What's the promotional sense in that?

Maybe they just prefer to play and feel they work better in a smaller setting. The tour was originally 12 dates spread out across 2 months and now a lot of the gaps have been filled in and it's nearly 30 dates. If it was their actual tour and they wanted to play as few gigs as possible then why not just upgrade to the academies?

As it's been pointed out, there are way too many discrepancies to actually correlate gigs and placings but they were 6th down on the main stage last year and unless they've declined in popularity then NME sub minimum is a pretty obvious shout, and NME headliner isn't far off.

"I haven't heard of The Hoosiers in a long time, must be that reunion hype them"

[Yellow_Fellow]

"Who cares, I'm gonna have a nap"

Well you've got the perfect soundtrack to an afternoon nap right there, may as well take advantage.

[Gucci Piggy]

"I haven't heard of The Hoosiers in a long time, must be that reunion hype them"

Legit, when he was in the (Feb?) announcement last year, me and my friends thought Zane said Hoosiers.

[dentalplan]

Bet you were well excited.

[Muppetmark]

Bet you were well excited.

i was for the nostalgia was so disapointed when i discovered it wasnt them.

[Babyquack]

Funny story; I used to sell the frontman of the Hoosiers' mum cheese on a deli counter in a well known supermarket. She used to tell me stories of him when he was a child. I hadn't the heart to tell her I didn't think they were any good any more.

[dentalplan]

Small world.

[mrtourette]

That isn't funny.

[Gucci Piggy]

Bet it was Sainsbury's.

My friend's Grandma is Jarvis Cocker's mum's carer.

Well she was a few years ago, dunno if they're both still alive now tbh.

[Babyquack]

That isn't funny.

I know. I have no idea why I said it was. I'm so sorry it didn't live up to your expectations.
