Lineup 2016

[dentalplan]

Neil as in the owner of eFestivals, not Mr Clyro himself.

Can I just ask where this link is saying that Simon Neil confirmed Biffy are playing? I've trawled the Internet and this forum but nothing showing where Neil actually said it?

He has, one hint that Biffy and FOB weren't headlining which no one picked up on but the not heading caused everyone to dismiss, then a further more pointed out hint by saying he didn't deny they were playing and his 98% sure. The fact Reading announce Tuesday final headers says all.

I've spent ages trawling through the source code to see if I could spit anything but unfortunately looks like Leeds learnt from last year's mistakes

Is Macklemore not the most likely option for sub? New album plus rap act usually as sub or headline? Wouldn't be the most popular option in this forum though!

He subbed two years and I think the general consensus was that he was shite (I didn't see him) and I think if there's going to be someone like Macklemore/Kendrick to sub, it'll be the weeknd

[Odessa]

Don't bring Macklemore up please. Wasn't it him who couldn't even muster up a full set so he had to do the same song twice? What an absolute joke. Infuriating that he took up such a big slot. I think the lineup that day was the worst the festival has ever had.

A Day To Remember and The Story So Far say otherwise

I think Biffy/FOB are putting pay to that. I imagine he'll be Wireless.

It's close I'll give you that but the 2014 lineup wasn't that good really anyway, I wanted to see 3 acts probably on one day and two acts were the same act lol. One or two I would catch I didn't know of then so I can't include, 2015 was way better.

Also The Wonder Years -> Every Time I Die -> letlive. on the Lock Up that day says otherwise too

[justanothername]

Shikari were fantastic in Manchester and so were The Wonder Years. Would be happy if they're announced. Saw Modern Baseball last night too who were also great, they do need to play this year. Sorority Noise were also good and I'd to see them on The Lock Up/Pit too 

[Cavan]

Has anyone else noticed a lack of fake posters being made this year? 

[dentalplan]

I think everyone just gets so far down the main stage and is too depressed to continue.

Is someone* gonna boot up the 6 main/3 NME prediction game thing? Guess it'd have to be double points or something for newly announced acts as there's already plenty of acts in top slots announced. 

*I would myself but nobody bothered with the awards this year so f yall.

MoBo were so good last night, Gorilla is awesome too, looks like a hangar turned into a music venue

Are we including, Pit, FR & Dance headliners?

kerrang are claiming massive festival news to be in their issue next wednesday, just to add more weight to the fall out boy rumour. sounds like the sort of thing kerrang would class as massive

I think youd have to be a loon to put anything different to FOB/Biffy in your prediction now

I read somewhere that R&L were trying to book Foos, but that fell through after the Paris bombings.

Why would that have affected R&L booking them?

apparently they are taking a break, but i dunno

 

[robmongascy]

What time on Tuesday do we reckon the announcement is? Early morning again?

They said that before the attacks so it was unrelated. They did, however, cancel some shows directly after the attacks but yeah the two things aren't connected.

[oneoftherest]

Just made a new prediction thread, forgive me if I've done it wrong just let me know and I'll edit or just someone can make a new one, I didn't know if we were including other stage headliners or whether that over complicates things

I'm shocked at his ability to write that many words together, thankfully I need not see any anymore
