I know they're only playing one festival at the moment, but is Pendulum completely out of the question? 

I'm glad R&L didn't get them for top of the bill for any day as anything bar the Biffy day would have been awful!

[SOAD]

Not sure if this has been brought up but since we have The Dillinger Escape Plan (hopefully headlining the Pit) do we reckon The Black Queen may turn up on NME or FR earlier in the day? Would be an awesome addition for me.

Not sure. Seems a bit crowded at the top of that bill anyway. Could they go 6th? Or FR headliner?

Would have thought ever Maximo Park or The Neighborhood will headline FR, I think there must be a slot on mainstage.

Otherwise they could play 3rd or 4th down on NME if there is space - (tbh that's where i'd most like to see them)

Sum 41 after that RES announcement can only do Reading Friday and Leeds Sat. AA as far as I know are closing The Lock/Pit stage. The chances look quite bleak to me.

So we're getting Sum 41?

When does everyone think the next announcement will be?

I think they're a band who could play most stages really, I don't think it was ever nailed on that they're playing The Pit/Lock Up. They could always just be doing Hevy though which is the week before I believe.

Probably in April I'd imagine, Romford from Romford.

There is no obligation for Sum 41 to play Lock-Up/Pit 

I could still see them potentially slotting in somewhere on Main Stage or NME.

Surely they'd be booked for at least one UK festival considering the amount of European festivals they are doing...

Anyone catch Biffy's new song on Beats1 just then? My iTunes was taking forever to install the latest version so I didn't hear it.

If not, it's here/

Not a fan on first listen, really hope it grows on me. 

[hamishrankin]

Absolutely incredible. Loved it, good man Zane Lowe playing it twice as well. It'll also be epic live, certainly one to mosh to

Already enjoying it much more on 2nd listen so I think it's a definite grower.

[Thrillhouse]

I love it already.

[MontheBiff1997]

That has only fueled my excitement for this new album

[oneoftherest]

After heaing the new track do people think this new album will push them over the point of no return in terms of headliner status? 

[Yellow_Fellow]

nothing to do with the album's content, the marketing and nothing else is responsible for that

[oneoftherest]

Well it's debuted on Beats1 so I think we can guess it's gonna have some pretty mainstream targetting

[#FreeComTruise]

Class track, allegedly single released tonight so might get b sides too. Don't quote me on that tho.

Eh, why? Zane loves Biffy, it's no surprise, mainstream or not.

Back into non-headline status?

[Gozpot]

Incredible song, can't get enough of it

hmm some nice bits and it's not a bad song but nothing particularly spectacular either, but then it is a single so hopefully there'll be better on the actual album

It's not all that is it. Some nice riffs but it sounds like they have tried to go really mainstream with it while failing somehow.

It's weird, instrumentally I think it's really nice. The vocals sound horrid with that autotune effect though and the chorus is a bit cheesy.

I just had a listen and I can safely say it's not a disappointment.

 

 

Providing you went into it expecting it to be shit.
