Lineup 2015

It was a woman. And it was because she wanted us to see Marilyn Manson's stage show, which is funny because he was absolutely guff that year.

How presumptuous and sexist of of me. Still, what kind of shithead (male or female) wants to take a bunch of school/college kids to a festival just to see Marilyn Manson's stage production.

Ffs the only reason The Strokes co-headlined in 2011 was because they found out about Pulp being around after the headliners were booked.

If not, they'd have headlined outright.

So they don't need any kind of boost in popularity to headline.

Strokes were on shaky/weak headliner ground that year and they are even weaker now, they can't even headline the 2nd stage at TITP.

You say 'now' as if them playing T was after R+L. :P

They headlined IOW successfully in 2010 and I wasn't here then but I'd be surprised if people expected them lower than headline in 2011.

T in the Park bookings don't mean shit. They subbed there two years after headlining there in 2006. Besides, they were 2nd stage headliners but requested to play before SHM because with who was on at the same time as either act it made sense. There were some saying that Blink wouldn't headline again after being booked to sub T anyway.

I'd like to think that comment by jump was tongue-in(and)-cheek.

Looking back, it may have been. Consider it a response to those who actually argue that then. :P

If people are talking of The Libertines headlining in 2015 then The Strokes sure can too. I reckon it'll be IOW though because R+L is three months after the only scheduled date.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
