Possible I suppose given the circumstances Yeah they played mid-NME and they became a high main stage band on the back of that same album. Would have thought they have wanted them back after that. Hence why I said "since they hit the big time". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Ah heres the proper thing: KASABIAN have joined MUSE as the two headline acts for this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival. FATBOY SLIM, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, CIRCA WAVES and RAT BOY are also on the bill for the bash on August 25 to 27. (from the S*n) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thelemon Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) If that's legit I'm happy - like all of those. TDCC could be subbing? They won't be any lower than third down main right? Since they headlined NME last year. Edited January 26, 2017 by thelemon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buko Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Really decent announcement but surely we'll get more than 5 acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its from The Sun Showbiz bit so probably just Sun reader type stuff they reported and more in the morning.

Ahh fair play, so far so good. Wouldnt be surprised to see TDCC 3rd on main stage with some form of exclusivity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin was banging on about TDCC being future headliners after last year's festival so who knows. Would be a complete piss take, though.

Muppetmark Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 They'll be 3rd as they're not exclusive as boardmasters have them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Certainly hope the proper announcement is a bit more impressive as those acts chosen by the Sun are terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedBalloon Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 for a second announcement that is pretty uninspiring. two door played last year... why would you put them in the SECOND announcement? pure insanity from FR, it's as though they don't want to sell tickets.

Matt42 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 they are either holding lots back or they've spent all their money on three big headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Kasabian as expected then. I'd see Flume and Jimmy Eat World and I guess TDCC, although they're a weird booking. I wouldn't be surprised if they subbed given the size of the headliners. I mean it'd be ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they're holding them back for later (maybe Royal Blood have a tour to sell or something...) or holding them back to headline for next year like many predicted. This announcement is confusing in how middle of the road it is. A bunch of acts who show up at R/L constantly.

footix2 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Fatboy Slim always outs on a good show. If it's anything like when he appears at Glasto the crowd will be massive for him. Can't stand Wiley the absolute gobshite. Apparently he is the godfather of grime. Clearly going to appear on the NME somewhere (probably sub or 3rd). They had him on the cover recently.

coreyt409 Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 On a plus (IMO) this announement means it's more than likely my first year off from this festival, FINALLY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
