They didn't announce Muse on the back of wining a Grammy. 

Anything to do with Adele is big news. There's no need to piggy back the Brits. 

I know what you're saying but what a better time to announce her than now? It would be massive news.

I'm selfishly hoping she does it as then I can go see New Order now on the other stage.

I'm pleased and will probably watch them, despite having seen them 3 times previously (IOW 2007, The O2 2012, Emirates Stadium 2013). They always put on a good show. I just hope for a decent setlist from them.

I'm not particularly a fan of Radiohead, and definitely not a fan of Adele, so hoping for a Saturday night surprise, but I'll most likely be elsewhere that night! I would watch Radiohead if they were on though, just to see what the fuss that everyone makes on here about them is about :P

I don't even want to think about the problem getting tickets if they played the Academy. Never really heard of an arena warm up gig before, and I hate the arena anyway. The Roses don't do things the normal way though I suppose. 

Remember the warm up gig at Warrington in 2012? Tickets were free, but you had to get to the venue in person with some form of roses merchandise.

Fuck LCD better be on at the same time

I do find it odd that they announced Muse and not Adele, and with Neil's info proving to be wrong concerning Adele being the next announced headliner and Emily saying 'British BANDS' and Neil's Radiohead info... probably clutching at straws here but none of that adds up to Adele to me

You are clutching lol, Radiohead aren't going to be as someone said the Saturday night live TV show.

What if Adele bailed and they were left with no choice? I'm sure they'd rather have a decent headliner than just somebody to please the viewers at home. ITS NOT FUCKING OVER

You're right.....until StanJames give me my fucking money.....then it's over :)).

They could have done this out the blue with Adele coming next week to surprise people. Eavis aren't silly and know people expected Adele next.

Agreed, they're nowhere near as TV friendly as Metallica!

At least Metallica have got a bit of something in them.....Coldplay at least have some upbeat stuff. Radiohead aren't upbeat and have a lot of slow stuff, I think you'd need to really be a fan to bother tuning in.

I still don't buy this. Glastonbury headline crowd is around 6x the size of the crowd for the o2. For a big headliner anyway.

Then you have the differences in set-up, sound, its outdoors etc. That's what made me so suspicious. 

The only real basis I have for her headlining is Neil's info t'other day.

I don't think so.

The O2 holds 22000, times 6 makes 132,000 which I reckon would mean that every paying customer on the site would have to be at the Pyramid stage.

Would leave the rest of the site somewhat empty

      Superscally Superhuman AC DC inspired charity Run ....Melbourne to Brisbane ...Highway to Help

      By northernangel · Posted

      No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.
