Lineup 2015

[Yellow_Fellow]

Didn't Yellow discount it because of some design issue?

It does look shit. That fucking co-headline on the Friday. Paramore are half way over to Saturday.

yeah it isn't v tidy but apparently that's FR's thing now

[kaosmark2]

The lineup was worse than the layout

layout.

[DomDom1984]

And yeah the Nero thing was one of the few things making it seem legit.

Aye, things like that need to be looked for. The T leak this year had the top three acts coloured yellow which was a weird tidbit, and swayed me.

[rivalschools.price]

It really is a bizarre decision to reduce the day tickets so much.

If they sell out every year they had no reason to do this.Maybe they are reducing the amount of day tickets they are selling and concentrating on weekend tickets.still no reason to slash prices by a third though.

Anyone got a quick list of European festivals in August that we normally talk about in that European Festival Watch thread? Wanna check who's around?

Also did someone say Miles Kane had self confirmed or something?

Yeah I recall someone saying they saw him at a Liverpool game, low mainstage/mid nme i'd say

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Think that was Harry Kane lmao

Ah okay, just that he hasn't got any shows lineup up whatsoever so far, so was wondering if I'd misremembered.

I can do that but I'm not gonna start a thread for it. Gimme a few mins.

Barely any have confirmed... interesting.

Yeah yeah yeah(s) I wasn't asking for the thread, just noticed it hadn't been made and wondered if anyone knew the names of most of the August festivals. Cheers.

[Matt42]

hmm why not Chemical Brothers?

I'm guessing our subs will be Alt J, The Prodigy and Ben Howard but i'm less sure about BH...

Kinda hoping it's someone curveball, but i'm not sure who fits that description from who you've posted.

[dentalplan]

hmm why not Chemical Brothers?

Because I've seen a R+L lineup in the past ten years and can confirm The Chemical Brothers wouldn't play.

[Gucci Piggy]

Why Matt why

[Gucci Piggy]

So hard to fit Mastodon in when you have to include the asshat selection of Mallory Knox/Lower Than Atlantis/Don Broco/Twin Atlantic/etc. in those slots.

[Matt42]

You could of just said they were headlining bestival

which is what I remembered 2 seconds after I made my post.

But headlining Bestival doesn't rule them out, whereas the fact they are The Chemical Brothers does.

[Gucci Piggy]

Lionel Richie isn't playing because he's playing Glastonbury.

Cannot believe the price reduction in day tickets. Very good for me though because I've went to reading 9 years running and would like to see libertines, Metallica and Jamie T but have a wedding to go to in leeds on the Saturday so looking very likely I'll go to leeds for the Friday and Sunday now

I think this is because it's a younger audience so it entices day tickets who will spend more money on booze rather than spending all day at camp and maybe to try sell leeds out as well as competing with European festivals.

[GodlikeYeezus]

Looking at the day ticket price reduction and bringing the announcement forward, I'd say Leeds fest (probs reading) are having cash flow problems but then again it could just be precautionary.

Dont think they'd change the ticket prices considering its sold out last few years
