When will the newspaper be on sale in shops d'ya reckon?

I don't know if it's still the same these days, but you used to be able to pick up first editions in certain central london locations (especially railway stations) from about 9-10pm the night before.

Libertines are big only in a very, very narrow genre and based largely on mystique (not the ladies). They are not big enough to headline Glasto. The reason they are headlining so many festivals is because there are so few original bookings available of the required stature. For now, Libertines will fit that bill as they command curiosity about their back story. But as a band, they certainly are not big enough to headline Glastonbury (that doesn't mean they won't because the headliner problem is affected all festivals). They wouldn't get a huge crowd, and if they did the crowd would dwindle.

A far better way of saying what I said

Chances are if they get it right, the festival will confirm it shortly after right? Much as with the previous lineup leaks... Or am I being too optimistic?

This may be completely clutching at straws and going stir crazy in here buuuut....

The original Tweeter was asked for a clue, and a few minutes later posted "#lauraallensalmonds" which appears to be a completely nonsensical Tweet - can't find any other hashtags or references to that at all. Any chance of a clue in there somewhere, an anagram maybe? Or is the guy just nuts...

Edit: Or am I just nuts? (likely)

Is he suggesting placebo?!? Surely not

No totally misread that.

Ye I'm an idiot

Or have I? Why did he mention placebo?

The Placebo comment was someone else's reply to his original Tweet, which he then retweeted.

My guess is he's a Placebo fan maybe?

    • Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!
    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
