announcement

A potential Blur/Chemical Brothers clash is concerning me, that would be grim

[Splatt]

The late booking suggestion does seem to point to Blur. If it is them and BST don't sell out then it looks like we're not gonna know our third headliner until the week before.

[DeadAmos]

She will ensure it's a super end to the festival for her and fans.

And so she makes 1000 people happy , what about the rest of us

[rikkirascal]

Can it still be Stone Roses?

[jonodillieono]

How are people only just seeing this, isnt it like 2 months old?

Ditto. Chems are nailed on for Sunday Other, surely. Could be one of those terrible 'I'll try to see a bit of both' nights, and I'm always too knackered to do that by Sunday.

[Matt42]

Plenty of possibilities. I'm more in the Paul McCartney camp than the Blur camp if i'm honest.

Only because Very very recently Blur said no...

but then if they were only signed a week or so ago than I guess it could be them.

It could really be anyone if exclusives are out the window.. How exciting!

[Andeeroo]

Not particularly interested in seeing Blur again or seeing the Mac at all. Never mind!

Because people think they're funny circulating it in places with no fact checking - Twitter and WhatsApp are great for stuff like this. You can post a lie, then a retraction, and before you know it your lie has been seen by everyone and nobody ever sees the retraction.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Paul McCartney is european festival exclusive to werchter

That has gone through my head too. Is it him?

[tweed1981]

A Blur/chemical brothers clash would be the worst possible clash of any combination of acts I could think of, I would be gutted. Would it not make sense for the Chems to be Saturday to counteract Kanye or is that not possible?

[Earthwindandfire2205]

Saw the Prodigy instead of Blur and I saw the Chems instead of Coldplay so Blur will win this time

That's what i thought. I was banking on Chemical Brothers for Saturday night

[CaledonianGonzo]

Blur would be a terrible announcement.

[GriZlore]

But will the announcent mention the 3rd Headliner as "Special Guests or Special Guest"

btw hello everyone

[pentura]

Imagine BJM! Favourite band of all time!

This may be true, but I'd surprised if they didn't sell out hyde park regardless or have most people woken up and realised it's a pretty shit venue by now?

It's not just the venue though, it's the price that's the main issue. 80 quid (plus fees) for Blur and what has to be said is a pretty poor undercard for the price isn't winning many over.

[the wonderwhy]

Blur would be the best possible announcement for me so I've got everything crossed

[A Guy Called Matt]

But will the announcent mention the 3rd Headliner as "Special Guests or Special Guest"

btw hello everyone

TBA

[Bisque]

eFests it's Wednesday party time!

[WS_Jack_III]

Saw the Prodigy instead of Blur and I saw the Chems instead of Coldplay so Blur will win this time

i did the same in seeing Prodigy and i enjoyed it but i was gutted at missing Blur. I've seen the Chems twice. I would be gutted knowing i was missing either show.

[FloorFiller]

Woo for getting the lineup. Boo for it not including the headliner (and that headliner not being prince )

If you read my earlier post, I said that someone had what's apped me this list today (that I was dubious of) and someone asked me to post it, hence why it's here.

Yeah I wasn't having a go at you, I know you were asked to post it!

I was just highlighting why that same lineup keeps cropping up. It's taken on a life of it's own on social media.

[thewayiam]

Now that is exciting

I feel the Blur/The Chems coming. If it is Blur then we may not find out until after IOW. I'm wanting FM.

No idea on what time on Wednesday it will be at the moment, but I hope to get that info at some point tonight

Would it be a decent idea to assume that should it be FM or Blur that an agreement to wait until after IOW is finished may be needed?

I have learnt to accept it is Florence. I am now at peace. I'm happy for her and sure it'll be a great show.

I suggest you all embrace the reality of the situation too.

Yeah it won't be, I'd expect to see her name on Wednesday though.

Yeah I know she's down for Sunday on the rumours page but I reckon she'd sub Foo Fighters

I've thought Sunday sub from the start.
