Headliners 2015

[JBarbour]

Oh I'm not doubting that it sometimes happens, but the majority of exclusive claims turn out to be true.

I don't remember people getting this upset over exclusive claims before the Metallica thing though.

Sometimes? It happens every festival season that some exclusive claims turn out to be untrue or misleading.

[JBarbour]

Yeah the overwhelming majority of exclusives do hold out, especially with headliners.

Where is this Underworld exclusive claim anyway?

Press release reads...

Another firm Besti-crew favourite is Underworld, who, were extremely pleased to say, will headline the Big Top on Thursday night as part of a UK festival exclusive for us!

confirms her for Glasto if she wasn't already 99% there IMO

Of course every year there are a few exclusive claims that turn out to be false, but given the amount of acts being claimed as exclusives nowadays that's bound to happen. To say all exclusive claims are wrong or worthless is just nonsense though.

That's why I said 'some'. It's still fairly early days with line ups and there is at least a few false claims of exclusive appearances already. If I could be bothered I'd probably find more

Confirming is where Glastonbury tell us that an act is playing

They haven't done that yet

Exactly, i'm resisting saying anything remotely like that

This probably means she's more likely for IOW, still got a headliner to announce

Fingers crossed

In the US.

Could the Underworld exclusive be because most of their gigs at the moment are "Underworld playing dubnobasswithmyheadman" but Bestival have them doing a full on greatest hits set?

[Matt42]

In the US.

I was being sarcastic but I didn't want to get murdered on this board for suggesting that an album coming out just before glastonbury makes her very very very likely

[DomDom1984]

I think even saying "some" exclusives are wrong is pushing it. You get the odd one or maybe two every year. That's not some.

There is already 2 this year without even making much effort and looking. With loads of festival announcements still to come

From the press release it's not clear whether it's a greatest hits set or playing the album. It mentions their current tour in the release.

[stuartbert two hats]

tho the Bastille mess didn't help either

Nor the Damon Albarn 'exclusive'

Remember when this board bullied the work experience dork running the Sonisphere chat when we found out Metallica weren't exclusive? Oh how we laughed.

[ICGenie]

Why won't they? They are touring. They have a free Sunday. They wanted to play.

John Giddings - "getting Fleetwood is great, but you can never one up glastonbury"

It's got nothing to,do with "exclusivity" and everything to do with both Eavis and Fleetwood saying they are not doing it.

Get a grip!

That was mean...

But oh so funny!

[ICGenie]

Am I the only person who doesn't like Queen? I like the odd song, but I'm loads of it is just middle of the road "party" fare.

Could do it live though.

Trust me, their albums are nowhere near the middle of the road...

Ha ha Dork. Great word. That was so funny. I forgot about that.

Bloody exclusives. Underworld are one now. Getting ridiculous. I can't (won't) believe all of them.

OK I'll be sure to get that grip. Be sure to read the full conservation and my posts before and after. You jumped up prick.
