Not forgetting that the 'rule' used to be five years until Blink 182 came back after four

Then the Biffy booking in ‘16 really broke the rules 

[RarerThanDandyB]

Least we will have better insight into AM when they release gigs today. I am thinking about 3PM and TRNSMT either today at five or Wednesday since that is when the past ones happened. I am hoping for myself and @Alfie Clayton sake.

Were you the guy in the Muse t-shirt? 

Yeah he was also talking bollocks. 

Can confirm I did wear a Muse t-shirt there

Tbf it was only really the ‘five year rule’ that was ever a thing. Once that was broken, people weren’t wary of distance between slots anymore and quite a few predicted Biffy for that year (correctly or falsely, given they were a replacement).

Who were they a replacement for by the way? Can't remember off the top of my head.

Kendrick Lamar is confirmed for a swedish festival (Way out West) 9-11 august

[TheWaters]

If we don’t get an announcement this week  are we expecting BRITS week? If there’s no announcement of this week it’ll deff make two stages look more likely as didn’t Dan say about 2 stages and announcement in brits week?

Not sure. It was mostly unspecified and I think the only name we ever got was Radiohead, but many don’t believe that.

Ayyy

Saw this on twitter. Looks like a cool lineup but obviously fake! Wolf Alice wouldn't be that high up and big sean wouldn't be that low. He would be main stage at least. Plus i very doubt Kanye will be there.

Kendrick for flow festival. Looking more nailed on for this now.

[Edduk98]

Yeah i feel Kendrick is near enough nailed on 100%

It is fake yes think it was circulating on here a few months back but I disagree with your point on wolf alice, very much a 3rd down/ NME headliner at this stage and doubt they'll get any less if they're there in August.

Fickle Friends 6th down lmao I know who made that. And a while ago too, seeing as Brand New is there.

Grolh loves a big announcement, and they're playing.

Do you feel its leading that way then? For Dave to actually announce R&L as them headlining then seconds after R&L to post there full lineup??

Nah, headliners are gonna be Brand New, Lost Prophets and Rolf Harris of course!

Dates of poster announcement in last few years.

2017: 24th Feb

2016: 1st Mar

2015: 24th Feb

I don’t think now that the BRIT Awards take place on the same week, it’s because they’re gonna roll it out during the ceremony.

edit: this would also mean that they don’t announce that there’ll be an announcement, which I can’t recall happening in recent years.

Yup lol

Kendrick also announced for Oya festival in Norway, 8th -> 12th Aug

[Gucci Piggy]

Aye if them announcing during BRITS week is anything to do with Foos I imagine it'd be because they wanna capitalise on Foos' publicity from the awards, rather than because Foos are performing there.

Haven't checked but presumably Kendrick is up for a few awards, too? So it'd work for him, too.

Presumably the shitshow of other acts Dan gave us aren't up for awards because fuck me.

Foo’s, Kendrick and Royal Blood are all up for awards which would be convenient if those are the headliners.

Also great news on Kendrick so today. Give us a good undercard for him ffs R&L.

Vampire Weekend/Tame Impala/CHVRCHES subbing (or if they're feeling super kind, VW third below one of the other two), plus some other good shit spread through the other stages (a couple of Alvvays, The Cribs, King Krule, The Horrors, Princess Nokia, King Gizz, Gaslight doing '59 Sound, Shame).

They haven't revealed any headliners yet have they? They've gone back to the old way where they'd announce it all in one go.
