Bastille will be big I imagine, well known name and such, depends on clashes though 

Lethal Bizzle, Kurupt FM, Jimmy Eat world. I imagine it'll be quite big as those clashes aren't exactly mega. Roughly how long before should I get there you think? Never been to a signing tent or anything.

I'd get there a bit before the one beforehand finishes. Queues for the next signing tend to start then I think.

Kasabian have just cancelled their Belfast gig tonight 10 mins before they were due to be on. Let's hope they're better for friday

Unconfirmed talk on Twitter that the lead singer was rushed to hospital but obviously I'm not sure how true that is. What would happen if they couldn't perform?

The Bastille headline set we've all been waiting for.

Not sure... if QOTSA are down for the secret set, could they bump them up to headline? Not sure how that would affect next year though if they were down to headline 2018.

I guess that would be what would happen tbh as they have no one else. They'd just find someone new for next year (maybe bump Royal Blood up if they were set to sub)

Let's not be too hasty, if it was cancelled 10 mins before that says to me it was a last minute decision and they were still hoping on playing up until then

Everyone would have a great time watching Puppy headline after they get moved up from the Pit 

QOTSA would be rad.

Seeing the facebook group get annoyed that stage headliners are clashing is very entertaining

Yeah hoping it's nothing too serious and maybe just a sore throat or something caused them to pull out as they were using  the gig as an R&L warm up so didn't want to make it worse. Seen pics and their stage was all set so was very last minute

[Mattymooz]

Being rushed to hospital makes it sound a lot more serious though. Hopefully just a sore throat (as much as I don't like Kasabian it would be crushing for people who did wanna come and see them if they had to pull out + annoying for the band)

I mean, whichever Kasabian member it is shouldn't take their health for granted. Probably wise to rest up.

[Diamond24]

I'd be devastated if Kasabian had to cancel! 

[Steve1000]

Would like to meet marmozets but fuck human interaction if it means missing Korn

[Huckleberry Finn]

Everyone is welcome to enjoy any festival how they please, as is their right, but I can't understand why anyone would waste time with the signing tent.

[Boba73]

Any secret set rumours out there for the Festival Republic stage early on Saturday?  Seems like a very late start compared to the other days.

An update from Kasabian about what happened:

[JSmurphy]

DEAD BULL WITH THE LIFE FROM THE LOW
I'LL BE MASSIVE CONQUISTADOR 

[Stuielooie]

few too many pre-gig drinks for Tom last night.

[GodlikeYeezus]

Looks like Eminem isn't going to let the BBC televise him yet again. They're advertising both Muse and Kasabian's headline shows on iPlayer but there is no news on Eminem.

If I was in his shoes I'd be too embarrassed as well.

With how much rain there's been at Leeds today, even if it doesn't rain for the rest of the weekend, it'll be just as muddy as last year again

That's a shame. Short downpour in Reading last night, looks like it will be dry and sunny for the rest of the week.

Late suggestion for secret set: Twin Atlantic? Then they go on to headline The Pit or something next year? Could get a couple of songs out between now and then
