dentalplan Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) Using world record sales for a UK festival is useless though. Personally, I don't think they'll say "Outkast are the biggest headliner" then pull out an act like Morrissey, Portishead or the Pixies where you could question who is bigger. I think they will actually mean Outkast are visibly bigger than the others. Edited January 28, 2014 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 i'm just posting in this one because it for some reason irritates me that we've been posting in 'new image' /weird 11 new acts on Monday, reckon it'll be any headliners or just some smaller names?

Paul ™ Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 The fact it's on Radio 6 makes me think it will be maybe a tie in with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 They won't announce small acts on the radio, it'll be 11 acts with some decent profile, presumably including a headliner or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zacko Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I reckon Thursday headliner, two or three subs, some new acts with some buzz about them and probably someone like Earth, Wind and Fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Yeah I reckon the Thursday headliner is probably coming our way, with maybe another niche exclusive act as a ticket shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) Major Lazer would be a solid Thursday headliner I reckon. Disclosure have to be in with a shout of subbing the main stage on one of the days as well? (Unless they won't do 3 years in a row). Been mentioned a few times on here - gonna be interesting to look at what kind of stages they're playing this year now that they're properly massive. They've certainly got crossover appeal, could easily see them subbing someone like Foals (or even OutKast).

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Prince is also announcing something on Feb 3rd in the UK. I suppose it's a good job Rob ruled him out or people would be freaking out at the prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I could even see Disclosure headlining Thursday at a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 (edited) I did think that was a possibility but I think they might even be too big for that? Unless they maybe headlined the port? That'd be brilliant actually. Edited February 1, 2014 by Zacko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I could even see Disclosure headlining Thursday at a push. I hope they do actually, because I have no interest in seeing them again & the Thursday headline slot is always far too busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 So Beck as Thursday headliner is a bit of a curve ball, decent booking mind you! The rest of the names are all very much of a muchness though - good to see Foals headlining a major festival for the first time in the UK though, I remember seeing them supporting the Noisettes in about 2006 at the Joiners - great to see a band make the jump from the supporting act on a toilet venue tour to headliners.
