Matt42 Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Shit didn't realise that, foos must be out then! Can't think who will be doing it now then, reckon they have Coldplay as their big headliner then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I'll be very surprised if they get Coldplay. I was thinking they'd get one of Foo Fighters or Muse but both seem unlikely now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 I think Kasabian will be their big headliner, doubt they have the pull anymore for others especially when the festival is almost mid July. Seems a shortage of festivals so can see a lot of British acts playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryomatic Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Why do Muse seem unlikely? The thought of Kasabian again is so depressing. The Libertines or Florence + The Machine Kanye West and big dance headliner (Avicii, David Guetta etc) Muse I could settle for that, provided there were some good options elsewhere.

Gucci Piggy Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Florence, Kasabian, Libertines, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Muse all options at the moment I'd say. Depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryomatic Posted October 31, 2014 Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe coming up with some acts other than the headliners will cheer us up. I'll be hoping for: Band of Skulls Catfish & The Bottlemen Circa Waves Death From Above 1979 Enter Shikari Feeder Frightened Rabbit The Gaslight Anthem Idlewild Lonely The Brave Madeon Nero Pulled Apart By Horses Royal Blood Twin Atlantic Wolf Alice The Xcerts Young Guns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh mate the thought of Florence and guetta again is mind numbingly boring and depressing. Kasabian are one of the best live bands on the planet. If they could get muse and the prodigy as the other headliners that would bring the crowds back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guetta I agree, is mind numblingly boring. Yeah Kasabian are a good live band, but I've seen them so many times. Prodigy would be a great addition. But I feel like they're in a weird place where they're a bit too big to headline R1 stage, but not quite popular enough just now to headline the main. Maybe the new album will push them back up to headline status for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmm it could just be ready for May/June I reckon. If they had one or two singles from it out by the time T came around in July, they'd be fine.

kingcrawler Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Muse have just been announced for a festival in Vienna, so they're definitely around. At the moment I'd go with them, Florence and Kasabian as headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLlewelyn Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 Pretty bummed about Foo's, was hoping they were going to headline. Was pretty much going to go just for them :L A Kasabian headline would win me back round though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Turn Blue I'd have said yes but now I'm not too sure, it didn't seem to be that well received. Not sure how well their arena tour is selling on the whole but they haven't sold out The Hydro.

Comfy Bean Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Muse have just been announced for a festival in Vienna, so they're definitely around. At the moment I'd go with them, Florence and Kasabian as headliners. I`d go with these 3 as well though maybe some shit DJ on Saturday with Muse or Florence Friday and Kasabian on Sunday. Think Chvrches will get a good slot after stepping in last minute for London Grammar this year. Do we know the capacity of the new site ? I remember thinking when it was announced that it looked quite a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'd say that enough time has passed for Avicii's Glasgow debacle to be forgotten and he could potentially be the Saturday night dance act. Although that slot COULD go to The Prodigy. Means that they're not exactly an all out headliner as well, but being last on the bill on the main stage should be enough of a pull for them. Plus, they'd go down a storm. I'd agree that it'd be Florence and the Machine on before whoever that happens to be. Don't rule out The Script as a potential headliner though. They're doing good business right now and have moved up the bill slowly but surely. Muse would make sense, but something about it doesn't really sit with me. I'd say Coldplay on the Sunday night, fuck knows on the Friday and Florence/Prodigy on the Saturday. I could see The Black Keys as a sub headliner. Other potentials for me are... Idlewild Jessie J Young Fathers Alt-J The Kooks American Authors The Drums The Ordinary Boys Lily Allen Echo and the Bunnymen Placebo The Vaselines Basement Jaxx The Enemy The Twang Madness ( aye, we can dream ) Funeral for a Friend First Aid Kit Jessie Ware Alvvays Charlie Simpson Grant Nicholas Prides Jason Mraz Interpol Royal Blood George Ezra Sam Smith Warpaint The Subways Gun Train Belle and Sebastian I'm not sure about a lot of them, but I wouldn't be surprised to see many of them in the undercard. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds potentially another sub headliner with The Black Keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryomatic Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 For subs, I was thinking any from: The Vaccines Two Door Cinema Club The Black Keys Noel Gallagher Bruno Mars The Script All of those could be R1 headliners as well.
