"indie hair - check, indie top - check, indie stare - check... best chuck in a hip hop reference to liven it up a bit"

can't wait to hear the reinvention though.  do we reckon he's sold all his guitars and bought turntables, or sold all his turntables and bought guitars?

You fear? Surely its a good thing. It will stop any jibes about just playing the same old songs for money, and it might even be good. New Order headlining the Other is confirmation enough that Stone Roses aren't playing. That clash would never happen, because New Order's crowd would be tiny.

It's going against Adele....it's likely to be that big anyway.

I'm still hoping this is true and he ends up rapping on the album.

Beck (I hope)

Hoping for something big atleast, no one seems to know from what I've seen in the thread. Not to mention Adele isn't actually 100% yet so it will be interesting

[FloorFiller]

i anticipate Adele's sub being shite

New Order will get a bigger crowd against Adele than they would against Stone Roses. Adele's will be huge, but there are plenty of people who have no interest in watching her. She won't get a crowd as big as Rolling Stones for a start. If it was Stone Roses on the Pyramid, they would take away a big chunk of New Order's crowd. Adele won't take away much of New Order's potential crowd at all.

Adele's crowd will be whopping. Biggest of the weekend by a considerable distance.

[Festival Liam]

The Weeknd to sub Adele please.

I think you may be over-looking how many of New Order's potential crowd have partners that put up with most of their festival choices (and have done for years) but are putting their feet down about "at least seeing a bit" of Adele! :(

Absolute Radio saying announcement on the Roses in 10 minutes. Surely a new tune.

Cheers, I quite enjoyed that actually. In much the same way as I enjoy having pineapples wrapped in barbed wire shoved up my plopper.

 

I see his Michael Hutchence impression doesn't have the effect of the real thing...

Luckily for me (if I get a ticket), mine likes New Order and has no interest in Adele, but if she did like Adele, that is one clash I would not be giving in with.

the stone roses are making an announcement at 2pm on absolute radio. 

 

they would't announce a glasto set on the radio. it's new music or more tour dates

was just about to post this - so far nothing to substantiate an announcement only rumours but I have absolute on anyhow

[Mouseboy11]

"Rumours of a stone roses announcement imminent as well" - Absolute Radio...so definitely not them doing the announcing

[ClementsMike]

Id be a afeard of seeing New Order as every live footage Ive ever seen of them has me turning off at the flat dull vocals of Sumner. Ive never got how this is never a 'thing' when Ian Brown gets so much stick?

your absolute radio is quicker than mine! I got that about 30 secs after you posted. 

[karaseen]

Great they announced an announcement

[mungo57]

just reading through Twitter, a music journo claims to have had a press release saying its new music they are announcing. So far thats all we have to go on apart from the DJ on absolute saying 'rumours of an announcement'

I really hope he's made a Yaz record personally

[ClementsMike]

Absolute Radio announced they dont know anything and are waiting for an announcement! This is good news, I can go back to 6 Music.

[PapaBentley]

They know nothing......
