Lineup 2015

[lightning1000]

Maybe I'm getting confused between festivals. R+L are the ones where they book credible acts as subs, not overexposed pop shite right?

Nope, wrong way round. Last year was paramore, Jake bugg and macklemore.

So all the Frank Turner fans will buy day tickets for both sites then

It is funny with Frank Turner, I think he could sub but then again he could play 3rd easily as it all depends as the new album that is coming out. All I know is that he'll play

All 7000 of them.

I still think he'd be 4th top.

Oh. Damn. Which festival am I getting confused with?

[thetime]

Yeah but weren't Bullet already playing arenas before that, to bigger crowds (genuine question; I don't know)?

Yes they were, I would dispute significantly less popular though. Certainly less popular but it's not like they played the dog and ducking the last tour.

Can't see them doing at festivals in the UK this year, you would of thought download would of snapped them up.

Yeah they definitely wouldn't move down from their 4th from top slot in 2012.

I think they'd probably be third. Reckon they're probably of similar popularity to the R&L audience as they were in 2012, but they could easily have played 3rd that year, I reckon.

[Gucci Piggy]

On the Frank Turner thing, I like him but he'd be a shite booking as a sub. Sunny afternoon act, ain't he?

It was Vampire Weekend actually

[dentalplan]

Sunny afternoon act

Pack that in.

Of the half dozen times I've seen him without really meaning to, the worst was as the 2ktrees headliner. The best was as a mid-afternoon act.

[the wonderwhy]

Yes but where he'd be good means nothing.

I can see Frank Turner playing 3rd or 4th down main, but yeah definitley better as a sunny afternoon act, bit dull otherwise. However I caught the St Albans gig on his small venue tour and he was sick so idk.

Also what are the odds of I See Stars playing somewhere on the lock up/the pit/ the rock stage whatever its called?

[Gucci Piggy]

Yes but where he'd be good means nothing.

It does in a conversation about how much we'd enjoy him as a sub headliner...

[kemosabe]

Be nice to see him not on the line up just once personally

Is he back touring on his own now or is that going to be this summer?

I'd hope he is touring this summer with a new album coming out later this year

[JamieD123]

I tend to bang on about them a lot, but how likely do you think Brand New is? What with their (alleged) album release this year and having booked into some early summer festival dates in the US it's probably not completely out of the question right?

Edit: Actually, just saw they're playing Primavera. That means they're more likely for glasto/download/isle of wight.

[The Shermanator]

The Libertines, The Prodigy, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Courteeners, Disclosure, Kasabian, Noel Gallagher's HFB, Oliver Heldens, Slaves, Knife Party are all acts I'd love to see at R/L '15.

Out of these, who do you think are likely to be there?

[Gucci Piggy]

Good post Shermanator

They had to cancel in 2013 and I think R&L said they'd still like to have them at some point. With the new album, it isn't out of the question I reckon.

[Lumz]

Would take DFA & Tyler the Creator from the Primavera line-up happily.

Regarding Frank Turner/Kendrick, Frank seems to be a favourite at Reading and can see him playing 3rd without any significant moaning. Kendrick is a difficult one, I can see him playing 3rd down right now personally, but his second album is going to be massive and a sub-headliner slot could suit him then... 2016 sub maybe?

Fingers crossed. Primavera looks strong, so if we get a few of the bands from that I'd be VERY happy.

[TheSilence]

Its quite unlikely though what with the festivals being four months apart

[Andre91]

Tyler, The Creator subbing the NME would be immense.

[nickybu]

Primavera line up looks strong! Quite a few bands that I'd love to see like American Football, Mineral, Black Keys, Interpol, Mac Demarco, Death From Above 1979.
