Has a Park headliner ever not appeared on the first poster in recent years? We need @Gnomicide I think 

I don't think they'll still EITS are Sigur Ros on at the same time either, that's absurd.

Surely EITS could easily play before Ros in the JPT?

Edit: Or maybe 3rd from the top.

guess we could've got it wrong about Bat for Lashes headlining the Park on the Sunday (maybe she's also JP?) and it could well be EISK. or they're also in the JP at some point. or they're subbing somebody else on the Park. guess there's a bunch of stuff that could happen - i'd just assumed we had our three Park headliners on the poster, and i'm struggling to think who they could be

I think Bat For Lashes are more likely than not to be one of the park headliners, given there's not many other viable options 

The two I had looked at as maybes were St Etienne and Mercury Rev

St Etienne have confirmed themselves for starting just as ELO finish on the Sunday, so not them. reckon Mercury Rev could well be in with a shout though - thought they were an obvious one before the likes of Sigur Ros and M83 popped up (although they're booked up on the Friday)

[gluther]

I like that this has thrown out some mystery, but I was really hoping to see them on The Park.

To - maybe - make some people happy.....

John Peel, Friday headliner.

Nice one Neil; cheers!

Did you just read that off a cheeky pre-release full line up?!

;-) ;-)

[pastorofmuppets]

John Grant or Richard Hawley would be my guesses.

Ah didn't notice they had confirmed to be playing at a certain time, fair enough. I had thought about John Grant, but couldn't really judge if he were big enough or not 

Im really interested to see @eFestivals opinion on this

had totally forgotten they were both playing - yeah good shout, that seems pretty likely. wouldn't be too arsed about missing either so that'd do me fine

[russycarps]

Happy with this. I have had much better experiences at JP headliners than at the Park.

I wonder what size crowd they'll get?

[pastorofmuppets]

Having said that, John Grant subbed the Park two years ago, and I'm not certain he's grown at all in stature since then.

Really don't know how big Richard Hawley is, he just seems to fit that slot.

[dj_tim]

John Grant headlined The Park a couple of years ago didn't he? Wouldn't have thought he'd be rebooked there so soon. (Unless I'm mistaken)

That's good to hear.

Up against Muse/Underworld/LCD or Disclosure, I'd imagine there's a good market there for them to pull a pretty sizeable crowd 

[Callum_96]

Obviously Slayer are going to be announced because the rumour was true and they are headlining the Park

[the wonderwhy]

Still praying Underworld are late night somewhere 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Re Park - Mercury Rev playing Sat so not them. Grant and Hawley are good shouts, maybe Band of Horses?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mercury Rev won't  be headlining anything, I don't think.

I suspect that John Grant will be elsewhere other than The Park.

[Vanderlyle]

Not particularly pleased with that. Not sure what I'll do if LCD play that night.

What have their set lists been like? Are they doing these experimental sets they talked about on the email?

[pastorofmuppets]

Just remembered Two Door Cinema Club are playing Friday somewhere, maybe them? 

Would be pretty silly to have them on Park and Sigur Ros on JP though, should be the other way around. Nah, I'll stick with Hawley for my guess.

definitely not the right type of music for the Park

haven't started their tour yet - Primavera on June 4th is their first date so i guess that'll be a good indicator for us, although if they're doing major festival sets you'd imagine they can't go too experimental

That would leave me absolutely out of ideas except Bat For Lashes Sunday 

Im forgetting that Bowie/Orchestra thing that's going on on Saturday, that's probably going to headline isn't it?

[FloorFiller]

Richard Hawley Friday - Bowie thing Saturday - Bat for Lashes Sunday

where that leaves EITS i have no idea, as they seem like an obvious Park headliner candidate also. guess they could sub any of the above acts

Two of them got 1hr 10 last year, so I think they'll get at least that long. 

Ah ok, thanks. Still a bit disappointing though. Means I might catch a bit of Muse before wandering over to JP for SR. My campsite is right next to JPT so I am happy enough about that, good opp to reload on ciders before watching SR.

I always imagined TDCC on the Pyramid for some reason. I was thinking an order of Wolf Alice/TDCC or vice versa - ZZ Top - Foals - Muse swear I remember Neil saying something about them being on Pyramid but I am probably wrong.

Swap Hawley and the bat please. 

she's confirmed herself for being on the Sunday night so no dice! (although not which stage she'll be playing so guess you might be in luck, but i doubt it)
