So i got very little sleep last night so gave this headliner chatter a tiny bit of thouhht...What if we already know the 3rd headliner but didnt think they'd be big enough so have dismissed them

Is Frank Turner the 3rd headliner?

He's British

Has a backing band (the sleeping souls)

Is headlining smaller festivals already and genrally getting good reviews

Probably at the peak of his popularity

Has a few albums under his belt

Hasnt played the festival much recently (could be someone they've tried to get in the past but he wanted too much)

Would be fairly tv friendly compared to Kanye West

Only a though, probably rubbish but its something different i think

So I missed most of last night's chat.

With the resale being next week already, are we assuming that there won't be a lineup announcement until after that?

It could be before it as well, either way it won't be until next week at the earliest

As much as I'd love this to happen, he's just not quite big enough yet, if he plays with the sleeping souls the highest slot he could possibly get is 3rd on the pyramid

Could the lineup be waiting for anyone other than the third headliner? could an afternoon or sub act hold everything up because they want to sell their tour out or haven't fully committed yet?

Or is it just the third headliner to sign on the dotted line?

Or are they just waiting till after all payments to see the Kanye effect and to move back to later announcements?

It's probably one of the the last two if not both

    • Have a great festival to those that are going, I cant wait to get there tomorrow!
    • ah i get ya.. Yeah I hate festivals that have that barrier and front section. Roskilde is gonna be the same, which I'm not looking forward to navigating. Like you say, you end up missing other stuff having to get there dead early. Luckily there's not much we're arsed about on at Roskilde though so that wont be such an issue! hahaha    
    • Not directly my expectation but my wishlist   - car seat headrest (it has been way too long these guys did Europe) - death cab for cutie - new constellations - interpol - bush - swimschool - suede - the haunted youth (should have been there this year) - flipturn   and oh yes Yumi Zouma can come any week, day, hour but this is a personal fetish with this band

    • Broco have European dates in Czechia and Slovenia the day before and after so I would be shocked if it were them, despite them having no other UK festival presence this summer.   Bilmuri are a shout as I don't think it'll be someone massive.
