[THEBOILERMAN]

[A Guy Called Matt]

See you there 

[maninkilt]

So who will headline then ?

[Gnomicide]

So who will headline then ?

 

Absolutely no idea, get it wrong every year.

 

Stil... and I believe they may charge too much but.... THE CULT!

[5co77ie]

Gail's will be back

 

I'm hoping for The Nephilim.

Another secret old goth?

[maninkilt]

The cult would be awesome. Is Jimmy Cliff totaly unrealistic ?

[man next door]

cult been ruled out by organisers some time ago. Although they did once say the same about James, so who knows....

 

Jimmy Cliff isn't totally unrealistic I think - seen him headline Beatherder who, although a bigger festival, spread resources over more stages and have similiar size headliners (levellers this year for instance)

[man next door]

how long can the Therapy? rumours persist before that one finally happens?

[Ravey Davey Gravy]

how long can the Therapy? rumours persist before that one finally happens?

Are there actually rumours about Therapy? or is it just because I keep asking for them?

[man next door]

ha ha - possibly, but I did hear they were close one year....

 

I did the same with Toots and the Maytals, where I wanted it so much that I began to beleive it, and then started to persuade others that it was going to happen too...

[Gnomicide]

Toots would be amazing.

 

Is he still touring, I seem to recall something happening recently that's put a stop to it?

[maninkilt]

What about The Alarm ?

A very good fit I think.

[Ravey Davey Gravy]

Update from BT Forum...

 

So, is there an actual 'announcement' tomorrow (12th)?

Hi, not now sadly as we wanted to include more than a handful of acts. It will be at the end of this month and we are doing by a video. Can someone plonk this into the BT Facebook groups and let folks know on other festival forums. It will be hugely appreciated.

It will be worth the wait but then again we said that about Athlete and UB40.

[maninkilt]

Shit

[si_t]

Nah, toots not touring Europe at all now. He got hit on the head with a bottle whilst playing in Germany.

Not even I believe toots will be at bearded anymore....

[bucko]

The Stranglers have tour dates for march and april with the Black & White album in its chronological entirety during their set.

with support from the alarm.

must be in with a chance of them playing bearded theory too.

[maninkilt]

I`d say the alarm have a very good chance.

Probably too soon for The Stranglers to come back but The Alarm is a good shout.

The bottle incident happened in Richmond, Virginia and I don't think he's toured anywhere since.

My mistake. No idea where I got those (wildly inaccurate) facts from....

[Gnomicide]

Close though.

[si_t]

Close though.

Thanks mate....

Just goes to show, don't listen to anything I say regarding toots and bearded...

(Although I did hear he was in advanced talks to headline the Sunday next year, word is that the prospect of playing what he refers to as 'the Ali Campbell ub40 spot' could be enough to coax him out of his unfortunate retirement....)

[maninkilt]

Maybe an odd one. What about Gaey Newman
