Excuse me if I've missed over the last 1300 pages but who does Neil think it is? The Stone Roses, Prince or Bowie?

The Stone Roses could be out of the picture.

Neil has strong reason to believe it's a Male Solo Artist (who will have a backing band). And the deal is just waiting to be signed and sealed.

I really hope it's Prince. I saw a couple of his hit and run gigs last year, Shepherds Bush and Manchester Academy. He was the best I've seen yet. And that's not an easy statement for me to make.

He's a dick, but he'll be incredible.

If they wanted Prince this year, I can't understand why they haven't even signed the agreement with him yet? Fair enough not announcing it .. But by what Neil has said it seems like there isn't even a signature on the dotted line.

They would have know he could be problematic to get finalised, so why leave it until now before having anything agreed?

Maybe a complete curveball like a Bowie has cropped up recently?

i don't think they're JUST going for Prince now - they've probably been pursuing him for ages and he's still in talks. it would certainly add up with Neil's Flo could step up theory if he decides to not do it in the end (although that would be a truly tragic result). much like how Rolling Stones apparently only signed up the day before the lineup was announced, except moreso because Prince is an awkward shit

I kinda assume the thing with Prince is that he and his people work within their own time to agree to stuff, which is more the reason that he is often announced late instead of agreeing but asking to be announced late or something.

You've got to consider why Florence would take a sub slot over headlining other big festivals such as Reading, Bestival, Latitude etc.

Maybe being told that you could sub a legend such as David Bowie would tempt her and if such a deal falls through she WILL headline.

No idea if she'd have been dropped a name though considering the secrecy of this year but can see why subbing Bowie has more appeal over headlining other festivals.

Dunno, maybe it's because she wants to prolong her tour? Much easier to play one festival this year to give your album some promo, then play multiple festivals next summer? Longevity is the only thing I can think of.

Haha you are completetly clueless. Backing band? absolute nonsense. 3 incredibly talented musicans who are as much the roses as Ian brown.

Not overly familiar with the old sarcasm thing I see.

EDIT: For a second I forgot you were a troll, my bad.

    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...
