Muppetmark Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 1 hour ago, dentalplan said: Maybe. It might just (hopefully) mean there's an act above that's not someone who their readership cares about, heavier rock band of sorts I guess. They did something like a couple of months ago when they mentioned everyone but Jimmy Eat World and The Amity Affliction or something. According to someone who's seen the press release, liam is the biggest name there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamJansson88 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Tbf to them, Liam Gallagher (whose already said he'll do oasis songs) on a festival exclusive is quite a good booking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think how good of a booking it is will depend on how high they stick him on the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd love to see him up against eminem on the NME, but that's just because I'm not that interested in eminem, I think 3rd/4th on main or NME sub is reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 His solo album isn't even out yet so it would be a bit of a gamble giving him a sub slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's playing much lower slots at the European festivals he's doing so surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to put him as sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Noel who has the oversized ego. Liam probably would accept something lesser than sub, going by the slots at festivals, and venues, he played with Beady Eye.

VCK Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Blossoms 3rd? Mind you, I was also surprised to see Imagine Dragons, Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and The National booked for that slot. Also surprised to see Liam subbing but I guess he's there on reputation. Also, what's with the font for the lower stages? Looks like MS Paint.

Rose-Colored Boy Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Anne-Marie is doubling up doing both Reading and V in the same year, so that's another sign that 'rule' isn't as important to them as it used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamJansson88 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Obviously wasted all the money on the headliners, should've just gone with muse, kasabian and then a conheadline of royal Blood and bring me then got some decent undercards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose-Colored Boy Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Only two Main Stage acts I'd see across the whole weekend.. Muse day, in particular, is appalling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) I love Muse and Architects but that whole day might go down as the worst line up day in history. It's SO weak. Definitely not going. Best day for me would be the Friday but not enough to make me grab a ticket. Like the guy a few above, Victorious and Slam Dunk it is!

Andre91 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Six acts on the Pit / Lock Up I would go out of my way to see and I've seen three of them before and two of them are playing Slam Dunk. Absolutely dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
