Headliners 2016

[Terence Fletcher]

I don't know much about AC/DC but I've heard a few songs and they're rocky just like Biffy Clyro.

Perhaps AC/DC could sub to Biffy Clyro kind of like how Pharrell did with Kanye this year, that way you've got a modern day headliner and an older band with 1 or 2 good songs to keep the older generation happy?

I'm sorry if I've completely misjudged their size, maybe 3rd down would be a better position for them?

Mate their current Rock or Bust tour holds the world record for fastest number of ticket sales

AC/DC are massive, the biggest instrument playing group in the world right now, subbing or 3rd down is absolutely laughable.

Wow it's almost as if it wasn't a serious post

Total LOLZ

That's fine, one night Pyramid, one night Arcadia and one night elsewhere.

I presume you tried to make it sound bad as you don't have a ticket. 

Yes. Congratulations on figuring out the joke. This is for you.

There's a guy on page 130 who was suggesting AC/DC to sub Foo Fighters.

 I like to think my posting style is similar to dentalplan's with the difference being his attempt at humour is actually funny, he usually knows what he's talking about, he doesn't make anywhere near as many typos as me and he seems to be a pretty swell guy. So not really like dentalplan at all.

The only way to be certain if Biffy can headline is to listen to Radio 2 all day and count how many times they are played, if you get into double figures they are.

Not quite as nice as the burrito my ticket will get me but I've seen worse!

cause metallica and kanye are played a lot on radio 2? Do you mean radio 1, if so then I agree

Metallica on Radio 1?

On the topic of AC/DC

1) I can't imagine them playing
2) If they did play they would definitely headline pyramid, they one of the biggest rock bands of all time. When they headlined download they bought their own stage, it looked ridiculous having two main stages next to each other.

[willutalk]

Metallica on Radio 1?

A good bit of Metal Militia on R1 floats my boat.

LeeGalvin you're quite right

It's Efestivals bingo 2016. So far points for every time some one mentions that AC/DC had their own stage at Download, suggests that a band could play the legends slot or mentions the Adele tax quote. I'm open to other suggestions.

Someone ironically says "has anyone mentioned Mus?"

Observing that AC/DC, although good, don't have a particularly varied output I.e. " That one song is good "

References to Dave Grohl "Running around"

Implication that rich people, or those with accents that sound posh are morally inferior to other people. Also see gap year scorn. Bonus points for phrase "Hoorah Henry's and Henrietta's" (sic)

I could go on. In fact, I probably will tomorrow.

*Calls Dave Grohl an AIDS denier*

Only applies to one poster but I bet you get a hundred hits between now and June.

[ljb1995]

Adele and Coldplay as good as playing

[StevieGed]

'I spend less and less time at the pyramid every year' or something along those lines should earn you some points 

[willutalk]

Everyone ready for Adele's "25"? New single out tomorrow. And she's "Bloody excited"! Which to be quite frank means brace yourselves!

[dentalplan]

25? I had hoped the new album was called "50%!".

stuartbert two hats tells the forum that he doesn't like ELO, and doesn't know any of their songs.

I'm glad blah blah are headlining because I don't like them so can go elsewhere instead.

Don't get this comment. I want led zep, Neil young and the national to headline so I can watch all the headliners. If Coldplay headline I will be somewhere else but I don't want it to happen

I don't.

That's one square gone.

[Justiceforcedave]

Let's not forget the classic "There's 100's of other stages".

more fucking drivel being crammed down our throats - just what we all need!
