Lineup 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

I'm saying Lethal Bizzl's lyrics are of a weak nature, but the RES lineup is weaker.

Yeah it was a shitey joke about the grammar dw.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

How come Hannah Wants is playing both V and Leeds!

There's a storm a brewing...

An apocalypse is ahead...

... Hide your kids, hide your wife.

She doesn't know what a monster she's created. The amount of "band x might play cos Hannah Wants is doing both" posts we're gonna get is gonna be horrendous.

[rawaudioinput]

Calvin Harris might sub Mumford because Hannah Wants is doing both and he does the DJing too

Haha silly he's announced himself for a scottish gig during R&L so he can't be there :)

Matt42, efestivals forums, forever.

[lemonhed]

Primus are knocking about this summer, would love to see them on NME. Not sure there's anywhere left for them though

[samfeeley]

So no Alt J at Leeds?

[DomDom1984]

So no Alt J at Leeds?

Wouldn't say that's certain at all.

[#FreeComTruise]

Yeah they're definitely still the most likely candidate for the TBA sub

Brace yourself, the normies are coming.

The courteeners did say at a gig in Leeds, "would you come see us if we came back to Leeds in August..."

Maybe they asked to play Leeds again and Melvin said " NAH MATE"

Someone minor already broke the R+L/V law in 2012 or 2011 I think. Don't know who though.

Also, didn't the Courteeners say "would you come see us if we played a field near here in summer?" and everyone thought it meant Leeds, then they announced Heaton Park which made sense as Leeds was a gig close to Manchester so it would have been all Mancs anyway.

I don't knw I wasn't there. I thought they mentioned august, my friend told me they did anyway.

Saw them in 2011, a bunch of 40+ years old acting 15. More of a panto than a gig, but it was nice hearing the classics.

I remember someone minor broke the rule a few years back, but that wasn't an up and coming 'mainstream' house DJ. Be interesting to see if anyone else crosses over. I HIGHLY DOUBT IT WILL HAPPEM.

I've always wanted to see the V/ RandL contracts, wonder if it does say 'if you play X you must not play Y' and I also wonder how one, rarely, slips through the net.

Isn't that basically all of the pop-punk bands from the 90's and early 00's? Love those bands all the same for it though.

[Hawky]

Maybe Melvin hasn't announced Alt -J for Leeds yet because he is trying to make it seem like they exclusive to Latitude, for as long as possible. Afterall, we know how much he likes his exclusives...

Plus, festivals rely on their headliners to attract a lot of ticket sales- so if Leeds announced Alt - J, that's two festivals- potential customers could go to instead of going to Latitude. yes, they're run by the same company/ guy- but they all have to work as a individual businesses. Maybe the reason it hasn't happened before is because AltJ may be seen as a relatively weak headliner in comparison to Foals (I mean weak as in- it may be more of a risk In terms of ticket sales)

I understand I may be clutching at straws, but I literally cannot find any other reason. I am 85% sure it is going to be Alt- J subbing Mumford.

Yup. I always wanted to see Sum41.

I've seen: Blink/ Offspring/ NoFX/ Green Day/ JEW/ NFG/ Yellowcard

That's just off the top of my head, there will be more.
