2017 festival

[jakecase]

Royal Blood in my opinion, have been announcing festival dates as of recently.

& loads of people predicting Twenty One Pilots to sub.

Missed them last year so wouldn't mind seeing them on the lineup this year.

I notice there's a few tweets doing the rounds again highlighting the lack of a female presence so far

They've not done anything separate though. The chances are it's someone on an exclusive and given RB's close dates to Glasto I don't see it being them.

Couldn't see any guests on Radio 1, Kerrang or Radio X schedules for today.

 

Any clues on what time we'll find out?

I can't see the announcement being anyone super well known based on how little they've hyped it up on social media but happy to be proven wrong.

 

Fingers crossed it's going to be Cabbage.

Could possibly be a band announcing they are reforming today, would be another reason to explain why the announcement has been held back a day, obviously won't be anyone who would headline such as Oasis or MCR but could still be someone of a reasonable size.

I'd be very happy with this but it wouldn't be a big deal overall to announce it alone, plus i'm pretty sure Tom has been saying AVA will tour in 2017 for quite a while.

Don't put Death Grips in my mind cos that'll make it even more disappointing when Pierce The Veil or some shit are announced. Metronomy would be good/realistic although I can't see why they'd have been held back.

I've got a hunch it's Liam Gallagher.. not sure why but I can just see it happening. 

[Andre91]

Thirty Seconds To Mars? Announce a new album and a Euro fest run?

I did think this also earlier - he's certainly got the ego to demand a separate announcement. Scary to think how high FR could place him, although he'd draw a big crowd wherever he played I guess. 

alt-J wouldn't surprise me

They'd be stupid enough to let him sub or play third down, wouldn't they... Liam Gallagher under Kasabian. Imagine that crowd. No thanks.

I reckon they'd have him potentially as a special guest opener, like what they did with Frank Turner last year

Good luck to any promoter trying to convince Liam Gallagher to open the festival at mid-day.

Glastonbury with Beady Eye?

Ignore this.

I can't read ...

I can see this being Panic on a Fest Exclusive. I'd laugh if ADTR was announced though, there last tour dates are today and tomorrow so not like there is many left. More likely for Download Mon/Tuesday in all seriousness I agree.

Wasn't there something in the Metro about Fatboy Slim? Could imagine he'd be down for a 'special guest, closing the NME' set.

I think he's just took a payday while he plays Creamfields too.
