John Peel headliners

[The Placid Casual]

I'm throwing all my hats in the Flying Lotus basket. Has he mentioned there being a limit on guesses?

Did anyone see MGMTs last year, got a feeling they were not

It was one of my highlights!

Oo I had a few guesses today, got to be in with a small chance

[briddj]

I only had the one guess, which no one before me had. Oooof.

Won't be me though!

[Franky]

Other Stage headliner

Well, that's not confirmed is it ?

No, but I'd say he's too big for anything else. Definitely too big for JP anyway.

All this chat about Future Islands headlining the JPT. Who do I have to offer sexual favours to in order not to have to suffer a headliner in that place? Although, if it was going to happen Sunday would be only moderately bad.

-Catfish and the Bottlemen

-The maccabes

-Suede

Guessing that means someone got it correct since his lost comment?

[ghandi]

i think the Maccabees would be a great JP headliner, just hope there's not any mega clashes elsewhere, i've already ruled out the Pyramid and Other for opposed headliners, so hopefully!

Good for a little fun but so hard to predict it from the names. Personally I'd have actually thought based on recent times it'll be generally younger based acts headlining it, but I don't think Catfish will be one and I didn't suggest it either.

Yep. Wouldn't have blamed him for putting a lid on it anyway with the amount of entries he's had to read through tho.

[briddj]

I went for Clean Bandit (for the youths, bit dancy too), Suede and FFS.

[The Placid Casual]

I put about 6-7 in after that post. Fingers crossed!

Just noticed Lianne La Havas is down for Sunday John Peel on the rumours page. Is she big enough to headline it?

nah definitely not - mid way down i'd say

[kingcrawler]

Ah right, wasn't sure what sort of size she is. I'm sure she was down for West Holts stage on the rumours page before but I might be wrong.

Is there a reason why John Peel headliners only seem to get an hour? Just wondering because I am probably gonna end up in here at least once this year. Would be disappointing seeing potentially Suede or SFA only do an hour set.

[The Placid Casual]

I hope the fella doesn't forget the comp. I've got a good feeling about it.

agree they should get more when its a bigger act, i guess cos its traditionally new bands...so they can have more bands and a new band headlining wont have the material

Who did you go for?

That makes sense I guess. Hopeful of SFA doing the Park but can't imagine anywhere I would rather see Suede than JP. Certainly wouldn't want to see them a few down on Other stage if I had a choice.

I had about 7 guesses in the period where he said that no one had guessed it right yet and where he closed it off (he said you could put as many guesses in as you'd like). A lot of the options there were ridiculous too.
