Kasabian...

I'd say it's more likely to happen in 2014, than 2015.... You don't see many bands who have released an album, skip a summer to headline festivals, wait for the album to potentially wane in popularity, then headline/play do you,

I'm sure most people will be able to tell me some excellent examples, but you know what? I can't seem to think of any, at the minute.

Meh, I've seen them twice before, both times being given spare tickets from friends. They're a decent enough live act, but I wouldn't rush to see them unless there was nothing else of my fancying on.

One thing I would say is that for me on a personal note, Arcade Fire/Kasabian headers would be pretty disappointing as have no interest in either. If it is those two, lets hope header number three is a real biggy!

yeah to be honest, what with Fleetwood Mac and Depeche Mode both seeming to be nailed on and then swept away just as fast i wouldn't be surprised if Eavis' earlier comments are now meaningless. i'm just holding on to any hope that they won't be headlining :P although if they do headline and say, The Pixies are opposite them on Other, then that'll suit me down to the ground!

I know Kasabian are pretty huge, and they've headlined other festivals, but I genuinely think they'll play second from top under somebody HUGE. People saying they're in the same mould as Monkeys, I can see why you'd say it, but you can still buy tickets in bulk for their homecoming summer gig, their appeal isn't what it was. With Monkeys' two gigs at Finsbury Park, one sold out in less than 15 minutes and the other sold out before the day was over.

I think I've seen kasabian about five times without ever buying a ticket to a kasabian gig. They've been everywhere and anywhere for the past four years and anyone who is into festivals a lot would have struggled to avoid them. They are good live and I'm not a fan really but as a headliner they would do nothing for me.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
