Lineup 2015


Recommended Posts

No they didn't, technically, but Kanye did join Jay-Z at Hackney for a few WTT songs which means it's not entirely impossible. If they booked someone like Foals/The Vaccines to headline one of the other nights they might be able to afford it. Not gonna happen so I don't why I'm justifying it :P but it'd definitely be an interesting booking

That's why I used the words "intending" and "at some point" rather than "they are" and "next year"

I wasn't talking specifically about you, but alot of webpages/articles/media outlets seem to be convinced it's happening. But there's not been any proof of it... they haven't even mentioned a second album but I just guess alot of people assume it's gonna happen.

Jay-Z - "We don't have any dates lined out for it, but we definitely spoke about dropping solo albums and then going back to do Watch the Throne 2, so we'll see what happens,"

The producer on the first album also said he'd signed on to do WTT2, and then tweeted this last year https://twitter.com/therealmikedean/status/352944953321721856

Obviously if it's happening though, it's not happening quickly, but there's enough there to assume it might happen

This was quite a while ago though wasn't it, and we really haven't heard anything from it since. So for all we know it could have been canned or delayed until further notice.

Well Kanye hasn't spoken about it, and I doubt he's going to be working on it this year as he's got his own material to finish and release.

Jesus christ, that's not my point. You said that there was no proof of it, that no one had even mentioned it, and that assuming it would happen is wrong. All of that is wrong regardless of whether it's happening this year, next year or in 10 bloody years.

The thing with Jay-Z is there are a lot of UK fests where it would make more sense for him to play. Whilst I'm not saying he wouldn't play R&L, fests like V, Wireless, Glasto, Isle of Wight, T, even Bestival (although he's probably too big for that) would be a better fit.

Same goes for Europe and touring schedules- there aren't many festivals that he'd suit in the later part of the summer.

I'm too tired for recall but whoever suggested a Libertines/ Black Keys co-headliner is a god amongst paupers in my book (not calling people on here paupers it's a saying so chill).

Never found the chance to see Pete 'n' Carl and I for one enjoyed Turn Blue so both bands would be a good booking for me.

Think a Foals/ Black Keys is more likely though. Foals should step up after Holy Fire's epicness and a new record on the agenda.

    • I'm 59. It's not so much the music as the camping/late night chaos I've grown out of at R+L. If I was still local to Leeds I might still be persuaded for a day ticket if the lineup was to my taste.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
