Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

They're already headlining Isle of Wight.

[JSmurphy]

Also, they have headlined a few festivals recently (Creamfields 2013 and Sonisphere 2014 I believe).

+ IoW 2015.

[aidenlangan95]

+ IoW 2015.

If anything, that is the one thing which makes me think they may not play Reading + Leeds until 2016.

I believe they subbed R+L the last time they headlined IOW but things have changed since then and they're a name that exclusivity would be demanded over, even with the coheadliner complication. Can see them doing TITP too but not R+L I don't reckon.

[aidenlangan95]

I would admit I was wrong if I am but after the Fleetwood Mac worldwide exclusivity thing, I don't think the other headliners will be exclusive as that must have cost a lot of money to get.

[dentalplan]

Perhaps but if R+L were having them headline they'd want exclusivity, which they can't have now.

It is just that R&L always try to get exclusive headliners if they can

[Yellow_Fellow]

coachella el announco

enjoy AC/DC

[Matt42]

Drake for r&l 2015 lololol

[dentalplan]

I like it when Matt plays the hits.

[Asdaprice]

So are we thinking Libertines, Metallica, and Linkin Park? How shite!

[the wonderwhy]

Nah, I reckon one of RHCP/KOL instead of Linkin Park

[JSmurphy]

Wouldn't rule out Mumford (dear god).

[Asdaprice]

It's just again am I right in thinking that neither Libertines or Metallica had an album in the UK top 10 chart in the last year (from late 2013 on anyway), meaning the last headliner will have had too? RHCP and KOL didn't, not sure about Mumford.

[the wonderwhy]

Where was that even from?

[kingcrawler]

Where was that even from?

Think Melvin said it at the festival last year.

Edit: Went back to try and find where it came from and it was you that posted it

Dunno if anyone's mentioned this quote from Newsbeat talking to MB. Shitty clue but more for bored people to read in to

'He wouldn't give too much information about who the first act confirmed are, only to say they have had an album in top 10 in the last year.'

They had one just before the 2013 festival so nearly there, I think they'd be a massive misfire though.

Can't think who could be within the two fests though with a top 10 album other than Linkin Park. Kasabian again?

[supreme]

Could prodigys album coming out in march coexist with the march announcement?

[19liam75]

Black Keys

Mechanical Bull came out September 2013 so KOL are still an option.

[Asdaprice]

Looking at that confirmed act thing in the mattdavies quote, was it specified the 1st confirmed act Melvins talking about was regarding one of the headliners?

Bloody hell

I think he was probably talking about the headliner although that's a good point, it could have been anyone on the lineup.

I'm still thinking KOL. Safe booking with a new album IMO.

This is why I think linkin park are very likely.

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah the top 10 thing, along with them seemingly being around in August makes me think it'll be them. It's just trying to think of an undercard (especially subs) to go below both Metallica and LP. Probably just do what they did this year with Blink and have a completely different act on before them.
