I withdraw my opinion from last month about thursday tickets - they DO want to sell them out and they'll do it fast.

You think we'll see The National before Macca ?

 

Judging by the lineup page, Ellie Goulding is Thursday's sub. I'm expecting The National to sub on Sunday. Then you've got a trio of acts that aren't real headliners, yet will sell a big amount of tickets together. 

That's assuming that they won't put The National before Rammstein.

That's the end of Radiohead / PJ dream :(

At least they did announce a big, fine name, even if he's not everybody cup of tea.

 

So, whats high spots are yet to be filled? Friday sub (or is it the Offspring?) and Sunday sub/Barn headliner (assuming TLSP will take one of them)?

Bummer with Ellie so high. But fuck it, sir Paul is there to the rescue !

Friday is already too much for me. We've got Robert Plant and The Offspring - two bands ready to co-headline. + ATDI...it's getting crowdy there. The National for Sunday then !

Spoke to the guy who told me about Springsteen last night. He says it's off and it's looking more likely to be Radiohead now.

 

Guess RH & Boss will be headlining Sonisphere now... :-D

Saw him last year at Amsterdam, can confirm he still got it.

And of course his song catalog is pretty much unmatched in popular music (and he's not shying away from a greatest hits set...).

Wonder if there's a new album coming from him soon? otherwise those dates are pretty random.

Based on the latest news don't you think that Radiohead could end up the festival on Sunday (July, 3)? It would be dream that comes true.

Not a chance. Flo is the head of the day...don't think it's good but here's how it is.

That would almost make it for me. No reason why flo doesn't do this years kasabian spot and Radiohead end festival in style. Surely that macklemore lot can't get that high a billing, they're utter crap

Never been huge on Macca but can't argue that he's a great name for the Thursday. I'm waiting for the Pinkpop announcement on Wednesday and then probably making a decision. Reckon we'll get our usual Friday fix as well?

Agreed with that. Sure he'll be decent enough but I'd have preferred others

They're the last act on main stage sunday night

That's really quite sad. After watching muse close last year that's a major drop in standards.

Sadly, Macklemore & RL were announced solely on Friday as they are doing with headliners and sometimes with big party acts as with the Prodigy last year. There is no way they made a special announcement and place them as a Barn headliner. In years they had a co-headline structure there were no dance act afterwards.

Therefore I can't see Radiohead happening :(

It's probably just them two festivals for them in Europe for the early part of the year.

Yeah but it makes RW looks strong with four headliners who can headline at any festival in the world (size-wise, Rammstein ain't gonna headline Glastonbury ever) plus one "local" headliner in Editors. Unless Pinkpop gonna pull a surprise on Wednesday, it's probably be more than all of their competition.

All that left is hope for a good undercard and although most of the top spots are already taken, know that surprises happen (as in DCFC scheduled in the Barn at 15:20 @2015 etc...)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
