Headliners 2016

[sloseph]

maybe they're holding back because Adele is getting so much press from her tour? no point splooging such a juicy bit of media attention when everyone is already focussed on you

in which case we could be waiting a while

I'll be floored if Adele is announced as part of the poster. Surely she must be announced any day now? Considering the *plan* is to announce the lineup at the start of April?

I don't think that actually is the plan.  As far as I know, the 1st of April date comes from this video, when asked "will the next two headliners be revealed":

Plus, it was Michael, with his daughter jumping in to correct him.

[FloorFiller]

yeah, Adele announced not long after her UK dates are done with, and then the poster later in the month

Adele is 100% headlining, Radiohead not playing

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yaaaaas Queen!

Radiohead not... playing? so you're saying they can still perform/entertain/jig?

Do you have a source other than these boards?

[Bradders]

I can't remember what was said about the Bowie tribute exactly, but is it possible that this could be the Adele sub that nobody can figure out?

Would certainly make a popular night of telly.

[stixmcvix]

McBusted. 100%.

i doubt it. just because we can't figure out who it is doesn't mean it'll be something totally unexpected like that - it'll probably end up being Macklemore or something shit. i'm sure the Bowie tribute will be something a lot more low-key, although i love the idea of it getting a high profile slot like this

How many times...

It's Radiohead!

I recall last year there was a lot of talk about the line or announcements coming out after Radio 1's Big weekend announcement due too glasto's tie in with the BBC?

hmmm ... you claim to know for sure a couple of things, while you defo don't know something else you'd surely know if you had unfettered access to the info you say you have.

So while I don't dispute your claim that Adele is headlining, I do dispute your claim to know with certainty that Radiohead aren't playing (tho whether they're playing or not isn't really part of that, just to be clear).

Oh Neil, don't you know that nothing hurts more than hope?

am i reading too much in to this or are you a little surer that Radiohead are appearing? or are you still just as confident in your original source?

Let me put it this way - As it stands Adele is booked, Radiohead are not

I read that as Neil's source saying they were playing, no mention of headlining and nothing's changed in that respect.

yeah i thought that might be it - he just seemed quick to shoot down willd55's claim that they're not playing, which to me still seems like the most likely outcome, so thought there may have been updated info

and yet you don't know if one of your fav bands is.

Which says to me that you're stretching the claims of what you claim to know (or the person that's told you has).

I don't know either way. I still only know what I I was told.

My comment to willd255 is based on another of his posts which shows he doesn't have much in the way of detail about the line-up, and therefore the same could apply to his radiohead claim.

could it be something to do with both acts being signed to XL and so he/she has info specifically for those acts and not others?

[willd255]

My source is connected to those two acts specifically. I know nothing about the rest of the line up and don't claim to.

Is your source as reliable as this one was?
