Rock En Seine 2016

[pothead pixie]

Has there been a line up announced for this years edition yet, have been googling but no joy as yet, when do they announce the first acts.

 

Edit:  I see from the 2015 thread that they announced last year on 3rd March.

Clutch is coming ! (Source : Zégut)

Still no word from this, it was announced this time last year, I realise if Radiohead headline this there is a good chance they may headline the Picnic the following weekend.

1st names due March 21st.

[Noeliam]

Confirmed: Eagles of Death Metal, DIIV.

Rumored: Massive Attack, Muse, Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Clutch, Cage The Elephant.

I think we can add Foals for sure

[dentalplan]

EODM are headlining according to the article that confirmed them, aren't they? I think I'd lean more to opportunistic than honourable on that one..

In France, press often makes the confusion between "headliner" and "big name on the bill". Here EoDM have become very famous since the tragedy of November, but they are surely not headliner. Another fest in south of France welcome EoDM and they are sub. So no worries

 

[dentalplan]

Ah, I see. Thanks for explaining.

[Rouckos]

Does anyone have a forecast ?

I personally think of Radiohead, Kendrick Lamar and Massive Attack.

But it could be Foals, Disclosure, Sigur Ros also...

For other names I think of Cage The Elephant, The 1975, Last Shadow Puppets, Chvrches, The Vaccines

 

Edit : Radiohead just announce an European Tour, with 2 Zenith for Paris, so right now I think about the possibility (probability 1%) of an exclusivity for The Strokes, I can't believe that Rock en Seine just have Foals for ''rock'' music...

Compared to last year's line up, that's atrocious.

Yeah.

[JumboJack]

It's not a bad lineup for the price. I think it can improve further with other announcements

[pothead pixie]

The Temper Trap added to line up.

I seen a report today where two French festivals, Rock en Seine and Caberet Vert have dropped the Eagles of Death Metal from their line ups due to to Jesse Hughes comments and criticisms of the French strict gun laws.  http://www.nme.com/news/eagles-of-death-metal/93696

yep, the man that ran away very fast invents conspiracy theories about others that ran away - or didn't - very fast.

If it wasn't so sad it'd be very funny.
