MontheBiff1997 Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I saw that Biffy were announced for two European festivals today, I didn't catch if they were headliners for both or not? Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 No, but it's irrelevant. Talking of European announcements; The Kills still around in August at Pukkelpop. R+L is a regular fixture when they tour so that could happen. New track bangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gozpot Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The only possibility other than the main stage is sub on NME, but i'm sure i've heard somewhere on here that Twenty One Pilots are subbing NME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they had little to no foot in America but i'm surprised myself at Europe, At Benicassim they're Sub Headlining and the headliners are The Chemical Brothers, Muse and Kendrick at Pukkelpop i think so far it's The Chemical Brothers and LCD Soundsystem headlining. Not sure if the other has been announced or where Biffy are playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIDLAR Too soon I think, but they're touring around then. Neck Deep Maybe. Decent slot last year so it'd be back to The Pit or maybe mid-NME. Sum 41 They looked very likely but can't see why they wouldn't have been part of the announcement. Maybe Hevy headliners? Every Time I Die Twin Atlantic Year off, I'd think. Last Shadow Puppets Would've been announced already, and possibly too big to slot in. The Weeknd Seems like he could be there in that sub slot as rumoured but possibly held back to try and drum up some interest in the Rihanna tour. I don't quite see it though. Also not doing fests so far, not even the ones tour mates Rihanna and Big Sean are like V and Pukkelpop. Gnarwolves I don't reckon R+L will share much with Hevy. Wolf Alice One of the guys in the band said they're not doing R+L, and they're not on the bill, so that's probably right. VANT Very likely. Sunflower Bean Quite likely. Around at the time. Stormzy Yeah also very likely. The LaFontaines There. Bold enough? Not sure about the others. 10 minutes ago, DirtyChorizo said: maybe Stormzy as well but they've already got BBK so they don't really need him. What?

They definitely won't be there in an announced slot, and probably not The Weeknd either unless he's being held back to help Rihanna's sales.

TLSP would be third down most likely and that would make perfect sense considering the spaces that need filling Edited March 16, 2016 by DirtyChorizo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't just a set quota of grime artists that they need?? They book what's popular, grime is popular, so why not book as many popular/feasible grime artists as they can? They have a 1xtra stage ffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the other has been announced or where Biffy are playing. I don't know much about those artists (apart from Muse) but for them to be subbing them shows how big that gap in popularity is. Kinda hoping this new album propels them to worldwide status rather than just high up in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
