BST - Hyde park 2016

[LondonTom]

Yeah £2.50 for Alabama Shakes, Wolf Alice and maybe a couple of others wouldn't be bad at all

 

But I suspect Mumford's will manage to be one of the sell out days.

Nah, Take That will probably sell out but Mumford and Sons have no chance. They're just about to do a massive arena tour, their fans have plenty of chances to see them. If Blur couldn't last year with just that an IoW then they definitely won't.

[the wonderwhy]

They seem to have cut ticket prices a bit this year (Mumford is below £60 before fees). 

No VIP viewing area down the front, either. Well not for Mumford at least.

Rihanna is definitely out, Wembley stadium for her

The next headliner (presumably Florence) is being announced on Monday at 9am.

Yeah that's pretty much done. Flo, Mumford, Take That (questionable if they have a 2nd date), so leaves up to 3. Funny thing is Taylor potentially could have done a 2nd date.

Flo, cool sub, Peace and Circa Waves for a mainstage day would be banging summer fun.

The Maccabees would work well as a sub there.

Shit that'd be excellent. She is Camden cronies with the Maccabees too.

I reckon a day like that would sell quite well, by BST standards anyway.

Does nobody think that it might be RHCP doing it? I don't understand why Flo would be favourites to do it because surely she's got to be at the end of her tour now, surely? Whereas RHCP seem to be starting one in the summer.

See below...

Jesus that'd be good, almost worth the ticket price for that.

No who am I kidding those prices are dumb. Let's hope for a repeat of this year.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Tickets for Mumfords only went on sale last week so would they really announce another so soon?

Hope it is though, fancy Florence in Hyde Park would be pretty cute. If you could stand near a speaker.

edit: just read up the page, ignore me.

I'd happily take to hyde park for that day. Especially if i can get one of those cheap tickets

[paulomas]

Flo will be so good! I can definitely see it being Maccabees as main support, loads of their UK shows have been promoted by Goldenvoice who are the same bookers as BST. alabama shakes and wolf alice's most recent tours have been Goldenvoice and they're both on the Mumford date

teaconsumer mentioned over on the Glasto boards that the support would come from Kendrick Lamar. Which (sorry Hugo and Fauntleroy and whatever they're all called) would be even cooler than The Maccabees for me.

He also divulged that BST are talking to Beyonce. I could just quote it over but it's a post-update world on eFestivals and I don't know how.

The Kendrick thing has me wanting a ticket settled sharpish but I don't wanna do that just for the tickets to go onsale for £2.50 again.

I dunno if Flo will sell it out anyway, even if tickets are cheaper this year. 

She's probably gonna be the Sunday as well 

[paulomas]

kendrick and jamie xx as support? just saw someone say it on twitter. that is a very strong line up considering jamie has just sold out Ally Pally in one day. although i don't know how well he would come across at like 5pm on that giant stage with terrible sound

Header of the BST twitter has Florence, kendrick,Jamie xx and blood orange on Saturday July 2nd

Looks like they're gonna try for six again then. 

Jamie XX will probably be pants but its a cool lineup that. 

[Mash011]

That's a great line up. Hopefully Kendrick will do Glasto too and if not then hopefully there'll be some cheap tickets going.

[retromoz]

thanks to the uselessness of BST/AEG Live....we are all now waiting for cheap tickets, arnt we?

[TomViolence]

Hopefully it puts Kendrick in the Glastonbury picture.

I'll probably go to this as I'd quite like to catch Flo again too. Too many things being announced atm though so I'll try and get a ticket nearer the time.
