Lineup 2016

[dentalplan]

Willy Butler said the next album won't be out until 2017 just the other day so I don't think they'll be touring next year.

[Andre91]

Yeah I was about to say that I read an article the other day saying that the new album is only "30% complete". I can't see Arcade Fire next year. 2017, maybe.

For the small number of us that like them, The 1975 have just put up a 14 day countdown on their website, I assume single/album announcement, or maybe even the whole album.

 

I'm interested to see how well the hype from the last album is retained, this album could be huge. 

[Bisque]

If it's Arcade Fire then the yoof will be invading the NME tent for Knife Party/Skrillex

If it's a Friday I can't see them just announcing something. It'll be a release and quite possibly the album because the tour for the next album is coming up soon init.

 

They should just close their social media accounts and go off the radar again in 14 days - people went nuts last time. They don't need to come back this time around though.

[Gucci Piggy]

Maybe they'll change to tartan this time

Yeah by single/album announcement I meant a physical single & album announcement. I'm hoping they drop the full album. Not sure what to expect though.

 

That social media deletion worked wonders, the day before there was a lad going on about how he thought they were rubbish, when it happened he said something along the lines of "I don't like them but this is pretty interesting", and now he loves them. Madness.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

an act without a name???????

[Muppetmark]

If it does turn out to be arcade fire and muse I'll very happily go back

[JSmurphy]

An act who's headlined recently and would be a surprise..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Radiohead

While I'm not believing what the guys says, Muse is a plausible option. Tour dates are slightly later than Biffy's were when they headlined but they are much bigger and only doing 3 cities without including Ireland, albeit mutiple dates.

With AF, they could probably get away with AF if the album was very early in 2017 and a couple of singles released before, I'm sure they have done it before and 30% now, they have 15 months to complete it and MB is a big fan too.

You can imagine there being a process going on with FF but most of us could make that one up. The thing is though, Reading would need strong headers if one of theirs is already playing/played a sold out fest. Part of me expects there to be a TBC header on the Glasto poster again. And last time FF played Reading, it didn't just sell.

[kaosmark2]

Anyone who thinks it could be arcade fire clearly had no idea what's going on with the band. It's more likely to be bearfur

[Gucci Piggy]

You say that as though BearFur is unlikely

[JSmurphy]

Disclosure's new album is fantastic, would love to see a Disclosure & Guests headline slot in the future. Doubt it would ever happen, but the amount of decent collaborators they've worked with (Kwabs, The Weeknd, Lorde, Sam Smith x2, Lion Babe, Gregory Porter, Aluna George, Jessie Ware, Eliza Doolittle) I can dream.

[Andre91]

I wish I had gone to see Disclosure instead of Blink in 2014. Don't get me wrong, Blink are my favourite band ever and their setlist that night was amazing, but I felt disappointed with the performance.

I think that Disclosure will be the next dance act to headline Glastonbury.

[gittinsell]

We could have a future president headlining... 

[Andre91]

Donald Trump confirmed.

[kaosmark2]

The likelihood of anyone on here knowing who is headlining already is non existent

Knowing and making educated reasoned guesses are different things though.

 

Of course, most people are making uneducated and badly reasoned guesses.

[kaosmark2]

Quite, everyone with any sense knows they'll sub the NME.

This he's talking about the fella last night claiming Muse and Arcade Fire are headlining.

[Yellow_Fellow]

ahhahaha what the fuck have i missed

why are people believing some random?

[dentalplan]

You missed nobody believing some random.

[lightning1000]

The last time some random came on with some info he had the full main line up announcement but yeah I don't buy this

[Gucci Piggy]

Nah I'm sure there have been some randoms coming on with the "lineup" since then

[Matt42]

So what is he actually saying? arcade fire are headlining? Surely with them just releasing a deluxe album or whatever it was they are pretty much off the cards? Unless the album is coming out late next year, which may make reading a bit more likely as its one of the last festivals of the summer
