How many albums do you think Foals have released?

 

Too many ;P I'll go with this being their 4th coming out now? Antidotes, Total Life Forever, Holy Fire and coming up What Went Down which leads me to think Royal Blood lol.

 

I personally think there may be more chance of them playing 3rd at a couple of places next year, Glasto being one and then headlining on a 3rd but missing sub completely. Glasto 3rd down Friday would be a good slot and fit well with either Foo's or Biffy heading that day and a more poppy act in between.

Royal Blood. I was going with there being a new album out next Summer getting them sub spots at fests.

 

I think they'll need a Wembley Arena date to their name 1st at least. This year we're sitting on an O2 Arena band, Wembley Arena band and a Academy act. Are Royal Blood going to actually play at all next year? They'll have toured the UK 2013 smaller places but 14 and 15 quite heavily. Maybe take 2016 off with a return 2017?

Yeah but if they have a new album out by next Summer I'm sure they'll be able to do a Wembley Arena date.

I don't see Linkin Park ever playing R&L again?, it only needs to be another year down the line and it's back in Download booking time length for them again, although I think they should make it 4 years and not 3 next time. it's only by the fact I like old LP that makes it less weak than Foals, Kanye and Flo. M&S isn't a bad shout for T, the were there then I'd say that prediction although I've seen it before I think is spot on. The Libs would do well to do IOW but if Taylor was at IOW then I can't see her not playing Glasto on a second year, personally don't see her at either. I'd be happy with Biffy, Rihanna and Foo's for Glasto as it gives me an Arcadia Show night, but I think FM will be there.

 

Picking the R&L headliners was the trickiest out of all tbh. Think Foos will do Glasto and with Slipknot out of the running that 3rd headliner (After Foals/Flo) is no an obvious one imo, think it will be a heavier act to balance the other two but I have not evidence to support that idea and the possibilities do seem limited at this stage. 

 

You're probably right about Swift at IOW, but I do think they'll go for a pop act along with Muse/Libs/Aerosmith.

    • Muse new album out soon , European tour announcement for Nov and Dec, no Spanish date and north American tour starts in July and in North America for all of July and August. So primavera and Glastonbury 
    • Well he is on a rape charge, don't see that one as controversial.    Although Hakimi is in Morocco squad.   
    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!
