Headliners 2015

[FuzzyDunlop]

I really shouldnt have read this / posted when I was on the train.

[tombertb]

To me it appears that he was talking about blur doing IOW but it caused confusion on here because his comment appeared 2 mins after the site posted that blur were doing IOW on the news page

This is spot on.

He's talking about IOW

Yeah that makes sense. Just strange since it was 10 minutes after they were announced.

[Fivefingerjohn]

Ive re read it...

I GOT THE WRONG END OF THE STICK

Can u point me to the right end of the stock. I'm completely lost with what's been said

[JoeyT]

WHO KNOWS

[st dan]

If ever I've seen a festival spunk all their budget on the headliners and then realise 'oh no we still have hundreds more bands to book!!!' .. It's that IoW lineup.

More top heavy than Katie Price.

[NickisGinger]

I've been checking this thread almost every day to catch up. Today, I'm lost.

[Mezhyp1]

Wooderson whats Neil talking about, please feel free to open out minds

[Comfy Bean]

WHO KNOWS

Are The Who ruled out?

[hurdy]

Ffs, the comment was made about 6 o'clock yesterday.

[eFestivals]

What's this about?

it's about Blur playing the IoW, which I've known of with certainly for quite a while.

[hurdy]

Flo can't do IoW cos she's in the states. And because another well-known beat combo is doing it instead, and will be announced tomorrow, of course.

Rob da Bank has supposedly said Flo isn't doing bestival.

There

Are The Who ruled out?

I dont remember then getting ruled out but they were discussed a while back and quickly droped from possible headliners so i think they must of been

[Bignews]

we're all ready to jump at anything

[Fivefingerjohn]

Ah right. Confusion stops. Back to glasto....any new inspirational thoughts today?

Giddings did well.

Neil's reference was Blur for IOW.

Those of us who are old enough and haven't totally fucked our memories might remember Mark Thonas on TV getting politicians to talk about things they knew nothing about. It showed how easily MPs would lie for exposure on the telly.

He had Margaret Hodge on who had never heard of Blur. After he briefed her they went on air. He asked who she always currently listening to. "Well Mark, at the moment I'm listening to popular beat combo Blur".

[eFestivals]

I wasn't aware it was being announced at 8am, only that the announcement was today.

when I made that post I wasn't aware it had been announced - and I did double-check that a PR hadn't come in at that point (which it hadn't ... and still hasn't).

that was Chris Morris, not Mark Thomas.

Anyway Neil, whilst you are here...

anything new? We need something to discuss all weekend!

[Callum_96]

So I take it you weren't allowed to tell us anything about Blur then?

unlikely in the time he's been asleep mate, I'm sure you'll keep us entertained

Mick Eavis called and wants you to headline the circus.

Surprised there Neil, i went on their site yesterday afternoon, going into the main page it stated 'Saturday headliner to be announced at 8am on Friday on Absolute radio'!

Not having a go as i think you do a great job getting the info for us.

[Callum_96]

What we really need is another prediction
