Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

I just can't see Libs sticking around long enough to headline festivals next summer, and I certainly can't see promoters being willing to take the risk...

So 2010.

They have shown that they can keep it together twice now and Carl's doing his own thing for a good part of the time between now and August so they're not likely to grow sick of each other's company either.

[Matt42]

Glasto: Foo Fighters, ACDC / Elton John, Taylor Swift

Reading: libertines, linkin park, Mumford and sons

T: Kasabian, libertines/Calvin Harris, coldplay

there haven't been any inter band squabbles or drama (that we've heard of) during their shows has their? so yeah, i don't see why they wouldn't still be around to do it and rake in a lovely big paycheck

edit: also looks like new material is underway

Good evening,

when can we expect the first announcement? (Going to Sziget and I think that both festivals will share some names, why not a headliner [i'm pretty sure that Linkin Park will play both festivals if they are confirmed for a festival in Germany the 14th of august]).

Sziget said that the first names are coming "shortly" (again, they said that in september about the aftermovie, and we didn't get it yet!

Thanks!

Someone from Lebanon.

Start of December i think, If i had to guess either the 2nd or 9th

Where's this strong rumour of The Libertines and Mumford and Sons come from?

[kemosabe]

I think its because we literally have nothing to go on this year and they are headliner sized bands who seem to be around to headline.

...it's on the efests rumour page. both down as SR's

someone we have reason to show some faith in sent the names to us.

That's no guarantee they're right, but with what i know I believe they're more likely to be right than wrong.

But they could be wrong.

did they give you a third name apart from mumfords and libertines?

Well that gives me an incentive to actually attend another festival this year. Though I'd be tempted if the Libertines day was any good

[thetime]

Mumford were very good when I saw them.....

Babyquack also sent Gweb something disturbing involving an aubergine, and neither of them will share what happened.

Still want to solve this mystery

It's too distressing, sorry guys

[Bisque]

Oh go on...

[Yellow_Fellow]

Bollocks with Arcade Fire

[lightning1000]

Saw mumfords when they were touring the first album and it was ok. However, they released a carbon copy 2nd album and their live show seems a longer version of what I saw then. Not interested in seeing them again

Sounds like a new album is on the way, won't be surprised if it's still not out by the time of reading.

[devilman]

Well I was planning on Leeds if there was no Soni but with those headliners I'd rather fry my own testicles with onions. Better start looking at Europe.

[mrtourette]

I wonder why they'd have Libertines headline next year when they didn't in 2010.

isn't the general opinion that they were seen as a bit of a wild card and so were placed below Arcade Fire in case they backed out / it was a disaster?

And 2015 would be different?

[FloorFiller]

And 2015 would be different?

Reading and Leeds would've been some of their first shows since reuniting so it was a bit of a risk. they've played many shows on this tour now without incident. they're a bit more of a safe bet and don't seem like they're gonna implode any time soon

[mrtourette]

Sounds like a load of shit to me, especially given how unimpressive their sales for Hyde Park were.

[kaosmark2]

They also no longer have reunion hype and recently back etc. And they wouldn't rebook a band on such short notice, particularly one whose heyday was at the beginning of the century. Definitely not as headliner.

[Asdaprice]

Yeah libertines could sub Mumford I reckon. I hope that's the case anyway. Fuck 2 boring bands headlining 2 nights. Again.
