Saw them at T before and they were quality. Just before the Pogues in Tuts IIRC. Great day.

Where would they play? KT mid afternoon?

Yeah. If T are starting to look at bands like that again I'll go back but sadly I can't see it. One lives in hope though.

I get the feeling Muse will do the Sunday.

This.

Bought tickets for the Roses but talks of Calvin Harris and the like are making me a bit worried Friday will be the climax and only mediocre after.

I would say 8/10. I'm desperate for them but there's a few good reasons they could be there. Flying back from abroad to play in Manchester on the Saturday (Sunday would be the day), they need to book some acts to appeal to the Roses crowd since they've basically used Roses to try and whore some ticket sales, they're not booked or likely to be booked for any other UK festivals other than Glastonbury now, so T would make sense. They went down a storm in 2012 as well. Seems a no brainer. 

What a line up it would be on the Friday  if it was the specials,happy Monday's,new order then the roses on the main stage

All would forgiven

New Order would have to be Sunday realistically. They're playing Thursday and Saturday so Sunday is the obvious day. They would be much better headlining King Tuts again than doing the main stage anyway. I am hoping for The Specials, but I'm not sure Happy Mondays are doing much right now. Really though, if you have a weekend ticket, you want the stuff you like spread around a bit over the weekend, rather than having it all on the Friday.

I'll be amazed if one of (or both) Jake Bugg and The Courteeners aren't on before them. TLSP or Primal Scream possibly. I would live the top four on Friday to be Roses/Faithless/The Specials/James. Would be a really good night.

Happy Monday's just finished a uk tour before Xmas,seen them in Glasgow probabbly the best I've seen them.

As far as EDM goes, I think the best T could do would either be Prydz or Axwell Ingrosso. Would much rather either of them than Calvin Harris again and thats coming from a scot!

Deadmau5 or Prydz I'd say, both just announced for Tomorrowland too.

Wonder what time we get the annual leak.

[Alan_C]

Does it usually leak early on the day they release the lineup? Wish it would just leak today so I can accept the poor lineup now, or be pleasantly surprised.

James Bay: High (playing in Newcastle that weekend, big name, might as well come north of the border.

Kodaline: Low (played after album release last year, no real reason to play again this summer)

The Lumineers: High (album coming out in April, popular band that will draw a decent crowd afternoon main stage)

I would say Kodaline are a high probability, they are headlining in Dublin that weekend along with the Stone Roses and there's usually synergies with TITP

[harryomatic]

I definitely remember billboards being spotted in 2014 on the morning of the lineup, though thymes only had Biffy, Calvin, Paolo and Arctics on. Don't remember when/how we got the leak last year

Ah fair enough then, I hadn't looked at tour dates, just at when albums came out. Could well be a likely booking then.

Rodrigo y Gabriella and SOAK announced as supports for Stone Roses in Dublin the same weekend. Probably a fair chance they'll be at T. 

[harryomatic]

My final wee guess at what might be revealed tomorrow

EDIT: noticed a little flaw in the poster so re-uploaded a tweaked one

Which translates as this for stage splits

[devilman]

Placings look a bit all over the place. Refused wouldn't get out of bed for the fee they'd get in that placing, nor would band of skulls. Are the Bay City Rollers actually still playing? There would be a crush of middle aged women with wide ons for that, I'm not sure their piles and sciatica would survive the rest of the weekend

[harryomatic]

I really want both those acts to play, but I don't see T giving them great slots. Band of Skulls last time they played were 3rd from the top in Transmissions so I reckon mid-Tuts is about right. Bay city rollers are still on the rumour page, so no reason not to include them

[Mezhyp1]

When's this going to leak then? Must be soon 

[DomDom1984]

Was around midday last time an early print of the poster came out. It was missing bands but was the real deal.

[hamishrankin]

I agree with that line up posted, very similar to R&L though. FR headlining the KT is a dream for me, I'd be gutted if that was announced ( as I'm not going this year).

For all the abuse t gets (rightly so) for it's poor line ups I think that's the best it's been in a while, where stone roses, calvin and RHCP may not be everyone's cup of tea there's some fantastic alternatives (DeadMau5 for SR, LCD for calvin/foals and disclosure for RHCP) that should keep everyone happy. Well done Geoff, he just needs to sort Strathallan Castle now...

Friday has a couple of acts, Axwell ^ Ingrosso are headlining one of the main stages at Cream, chances are they headline Radio 1 stage if they play too. Saturday has dome decent acts, and Sunday main stage and bottom of Radio 1. Forgetting the main Saturday headers I'd probably attend that if I lived there.

Is that poster supposed to be real or is it based on someones wish list and general speculation
