Headliners 2015

[eFestivals]

Interesting! When you talk about him being in London, are we talking big London? (i.e. Hyde Park or whatever) Or are we talking small-scale London as a warm-up? Cos I could still see the little bastard doing the former and avoiding the festival.

No idea, just in the UK, not any info as to what for.

[Matt42]

Not until I see his name on the Pyramid screens as Next and the purple confetti cannons are loaded will I believe it.

Not even that, I need to see him walk on stage to actually believe it.

[MichaelsBeard]

No idea, just in the UK, not any info as to what for.

Didn't someone on here the other day said they had good reason to believe he'd be in London in June as well?

[eFestivals]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Chems are a bit of a tired booking as a headliner these days?

Nope. They're a bit too 1998.

But Mr Emily is their manager or something, so they're likely to get a decent slot, and lets face it they'll definitely still pull a decent crowd.

Fair enough, I imagine a big show would be a little bit unrealistic re: ticket sales right now. Interesting stuff nonetheless.

[Keithy]

That would be one of the reasons.

Although the Eavie have been known to fib.

Emily hasn't ever fibbed (as far as I can recall)

Micheal doesn't intentionally fib. He just gets overexcited and makes annoucements way ahead of time which are generally taking with a large pinch of salt.

[Fivefingerjohn]

I'd love to see chems. I fear they gonna clash with someone I wanna see more tho

[DomDom1984]

Chemical Brothers, like most dance acts, are perfect headline fodder, whether it be the main or second or even third stages.

[Gnomicide]

Joiners warm up could be Frank Turner. I'm reading his book at the moment and it gets a fair few mentions.

[thewayiam]

alt-j could do Pyramid. I believe he also reckons Chems are doing Other on Sunday so alt-j probably will be on Pyramid (Gazza, no) so leaves a mystery Saturday headliner and there's nothing really concrete in there. No TBC's as we had last year for two of them so it's a bit of a leap to say we know them already.

My name here amused me. I've been saying The Chen Bros for Other Sunday for ages and I still maintain that Alt-J won't sub.

[Perks]

Am I the only one who thinks that the Chems are a bit of a tired booking as a headliner these days?

Nope, am with you. Tired is a very good way of describing it.

Yeah both him and The Vaccines have done fundraising for it in the past.

I've seen both of them there. Great gigs.

I think we can pretty much take from today that the final headliner in mind is prince, I can't for the life of me think of anyone else it could be.... And I don't like him at all.... Quick, Neil, leak to other press sites

[jed123]

Piecing together two recent developments, could Jamie T at Joiners be their announcement - he's not adversed to playing those sorts of shows!

The thought of Kanye West performing in Joiners made me laugh. Oh I do miss Southampton.

I'm ignoring that email about not in the next 24 hours, it's tonight.

[wozwebs]

I'd be happy to watch Prince, had been playing lots of hits on the last tour so hopefully not a self-indulgent 3 hour random B-sides set.

Yeah I know. I was expecting you to tell me the above.

at the few festivals he has played it's been all-business - all the hits. the Hop Farm setlist is a good indication of that

The Joiners is a 5 minute walk from where I live. Be great to see Frank Turner there but if it was P***** (it really won't be though) well that would just be spiffing too! I'm guessing though that it'll be a much smaller act than him. Stone Roses maybe

[Krazypinkminx]

This thread is such a roller coaster!

[sime]

This thread is such a roller coaster!

Isn't it. Which is good as I like roller coasters

[sinhala]

Yes, it did roll a bit when Neil returned but now it has returned to coast mode.

[mufcok]

And there ends The Stone Roses Pyramid dream for another year... 2016 or bust

[Fivefingerjohn]

Cryptic. Is it Ronan keating headlining the other?

[amyrockslots]

Prince needs to loose the sampler set he has been doing in the middle of his gigs....its really annoying!
