I don't feel at liberty to give further details, because it's embargo'd info.

I was confirming that what they've tweeted about further acts today was definitely going to happen.

[CAMF111]

Next act at 12 apparently...

[CAMF111]

And... its The Courteeners... again

[ls2408]

anyone else SICK of the courteeners

[harryomatic]

Very sick. But if you've got Stone Roses, Courteeners are an obvious choice to satisfy that fan base. Probably middle main stage same day? Disclosure were confirmed as not a main stage headliner, so must be R1 one night.

[CAMF111]

This would be third year in a row seeing them unless something better comes up... which finger crossed it will

[Shanks18]

Disclosure could easily be Dance act on main Saturday night. I think they would have maybe mentioned that in the tweet but maybe not..

 

*Edit - Saw not a main stage headliner after I posted. Would think it would be headlining NME

That was their response when some asked if they were a headliner

Edited November 26, 2015 by CAMF111

[Shanks18]

Maybe main sub

[ls2408]

More to come, seems to be every two hours

[CAMF111]

Perhaps they are all Friday acts, Courteeners subbing Roses and Disclosure headlining R1

[harryomatic]

I can't see Courteeners being that high. 

 

Stone Roses
XXX
XXX
Courteeners

Would be my guess. Maybe one higher.

[hamishrankin]

Courteeners headlined the king tuts last year? Sold out their tour (I'm 80%) sure why can't they play higher?

[kingcrawler]

I reckon third or fourth down for Courteeners, it's not like they demand particularly big slots.

[harryomatic]

Tuts headliners tend to be same size as acts that play 3rd/4th down on main stage usually. Might be wrong, but I just don't see them as the same size as (from 2015) Sam Smith, Stereophonics or The Script. Or in 2014, Jake Bugg and Ed Sheeran. All those acts can comfortably play arena tours or bigger, Courteeners on their upcoming tour are doing academy sized venues.

[DGrant261]

Third down for Courteeners on Stone Roses day I reckon. Disclosure could be a sub or Radio 1 headliner (I'd think they've moved a bit beyond the latter now tbh). As a Friday night Stone Roses/Disclosure/Courteeners would fit the T crowd and Roses day ticketers very nicely, so I don't see why that can't be the case

Really hope disclosure isn't on the same time as the roses.

Hopefully it will be a edm fan boy for all the wee bangers.

[Shootenanny!]

Agree Courteeners makes a lot of sense on the Roses day but could equally see them pulling a big crowd as NME headliner on Saturday against a dance act on Main. Their crowd when they subbed NME was huge and the rush to get in King Tuts for them last year was wild. In 2012 I seem to recall them splitting the acts that appealed to Roses fans over the days e.g. New Order on Friday, Happy Mondays on Sunday so its possible.

Am working their gig tomorrow night at Lincoln Engine Shed and it's about 1600 capacity

Granted the venues they're playing on the tour aren't huge but they sold out two nights at the Academy in minutes so I'd say they're bigger than Beady Eye who headlined that stage a couple of years ago. Sadly they rarely seem to attract huge rock bands on the second stage any more, last one I can remember being The Strokes in 2011.
