Headliners 2015

[dentalplan]

do we know anyone who loves doing last minute shows?

If Foo's can't do it, I honestly hope they do either have a standby (unlikely) or find someone half decent. If not there other places I'd rather be over Flo.

Also those who have paid to see independent Foos shows have my deepest sympathy right now.

[august1]

anyone with wembley tickets for foos on saturday can head down to hyde park instead

[atomised]

Or just join in the post austerity March shenanigans

[august1]

no ifs, no buts, no foo fighter cuts

Who says I didn't want an in depth discussion about New Order's understated impact on music as we know it?

[Matt42]

hope they still play though! Christ i'm in shock!

Wasn't the front man so it's not the same

No because in 2013 Mumford could still have played?

Dental, do you have a boggart you need a hand with?

But they said they wouldn't/couldn't. And the guy had been diagnosed with a brain tumour so it'd have been poor taste to do so even if they could find someone that could do a nearly two hour set with them at short notice.

This is starting to be a recurring thing though; you know bands aren't (always) just singers and some other guys propping them up, right?

Yes. Matt is my boggart.

right thats the cobwebs blown off, lets get this thread fired up again as it looks like we might be needing a new headliner.

So we need someone at the last minute. Hmmmm....who's been doing short notice gigs over the last 2 years... time to party like its 1999?

yes but I don't think you understand what I mean

Guitarist can't perform - they usually can do something about it

front man can't perform - there's a much bigger issue here.

Will definitely be Flo, won't it? But if they get someone in it'd have to be Blur, which would be a great result. I'd take them as happily as I took Foos.

[Gnomicide]

It really, really, really could happen.

This would make my life. Probably require the same 150-min slot too so the timings wouldn't need rearranging.

Tho I expect Flo, or at most Blur.

if they bump Flo up then they need a new sub or keep bumping others up. They still will have 1 less act somewhere on the bill who needs replacing though i suppose they can shift someone from another stage.

sure the picture will become clear in the next few days.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I hope they don't announce the replacement until the banner drops on the stage at which point it's either the Dalai Lama or the Kaiser Chiefs.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Or failing that, just get Kanye to do a second night like Wireless did.

I understand that you mean that. I also understand that generally isn't true.
