Headliners 2015

[TheSeventhOne]

Wasn't the line-up announced on a bank holiday in 2009?

EDIT: Yeah, it was.

According to festivalmag.com Billy Ocean has confirmed, no mention of Lionel Richie though so maybe they are just confused?

RIP. Read her last book relatively recently. Not massively revelatory or anything and she was always too classy to really dish serious dirt but its an interesting insight into Lennon. Particularly around the mid 60s. Just pre Yoko. A lazy amoral fucker.

She had a lot of dignity and class, did Cynthia.

And - i feel - been judged far too harshly in some quarters for remarrying more than once.

Male chauvinistic claptrap.

My mum is a fuckin' fantastic source for early Beatles goss' / info. and - like 'the secretaries who used to go to the Cavern' (before when it was packed out, as in the photo, for cheap soup 'n' a roll at lunchtimes) who the Beatles 'lost' with Sgt Pepper, is to this day still perplexed that Lennon ditched such a devoted wife...even though Cynthia has pretty much said she could see it coming / knew when - symbolically - it had happened.

Just paid mine off and train for the way down. Excitement cranked up a level.

[JoBalls]

We know in our hearts there won't be an announcement today but I guarantee we all check Twitter in the next few minutes...

[Tr234]

[Matt42]

So... that's it

tomorrow is the only day it can come out (during balance week).

I'm really really worried Neil is right and we aren't getting it till late april

why why why why can't they just announce a slither of acts.. like last year! I'd be fine with about a handful of officially confirmed acts!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Quite Had been clinging onto the idea of April 1st for ages, my next best guess is next Tuesday morning... if not then then lord knows.

[kalifire]

Tomorrow it is, then - or later in April.

It could be any time obviously, but I think those are the two most likely scenarios.

He said this?

I've just been looking through last years full line up, there were so many bands I didn't get to see.

My point being, stop worrying, there's nothing else like it and there will be loads to see.

Relax.

I'm expecting 6Music to spill the beans, similar to last year.

Then the lineup being released soon after.

It's their 8th Birthday tomorrow to so who knows...

[adamg1602]

I don't know if it's been said before but I think they could be holding everything back because we've got idiots starting online petitions and creating massive hysteria over an act we don't even have to watch..we normally have more than we do now acts wise

They just tweeted this though. They must mean the breakfast show. https://twitter.com/BBC6Breakfast/status/583191713788878848

[JoeyT]

Yeah i think he means it's Shaun Keavney's 8th anniversary as host

[toppo]

I still say Shaun Keaveny Radio 6 tomorrow.

That cotton woman leaving (yay)

Zane Lowe gone

Annie Mac touring or whatever

Soooo my totally unscientific conclusion is Shaun because he will be doing a set this year and tomorrow becausetodays focus has been 1st day of balance payment.

Oh and these 2 posts above adds to my hunch that i did first say on monday

[mufcok]

Any reason it can't be early next Tuesday, given the payment window closes 23.59?..

I've been before, and I know.

It's just annoying

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

Could they actually book Prince after he got annoyed at them last time they tried to?....

I'm going with Florence or stone roses

Is everybody that thinks it's prince just discounting the fact that he got annoyed at them last time?

[JoeyT]

I'm convinced it's tomorrow morning at 8am. I don't believe Mark Knopfler is on the show until 9am, although may be wrong?

So 8am would give them enough time to chat line up then move on to dire straits etc at 9.

What time was it last year? I was in Paris so can't remember.

[Morse Code]

Urgh!

DIRE Straits...

You know what? I'd go see Dire Straits if they were playing. Is that bad?

8am, but we were given that tweet so we kinda knew.

True. A tweet to confirm some sort of news really is the elephant in the room!
