Oh FFS. I didn’t read all of the comment above and thought someone was saying how much of an idol Dave (the grime artist) has been to them since they knew what music was.  

I’ll leave now and come back when FOB are confirmed to play Folie in full. 

God no haha!!

Just out of curiosity, what makes you say that? 

Because everything he's said so far has been spot on even when seeming unrealistic (Catfish at APE, The Killers at Latitude) and we're all dead set on Foos being there.

Granted, he doesn't say it's definite and just says it's the last he heard, but we all assumed they were nailed on since like the end of last year's festival, and presuming what he says is true then that wasn't the case.

Maybe when he heard they weren't playing it was just a case of them not having been booked yet but they were lined up to play.

Yeah i can see what you mean now. Got to be honest, would be very strange if Foos weren't booked. I can not see R&L missing out on foos this year. We will find out tomorrow but imo, i feel foos are nailed on. Everything lines up for them and just can't see why they wouldn't be there?

This could be hilarious if neither Foos or AM are booked.

They have a tour and might not be bothered returning to England. That month in August may be for rest. 

[AdamJansson88]

Do people think that Kendrick will demand a big fee? If so could it mean that they opt for two weaker headliners rather than having him with someone as big as AM or Foo's? 

[The All Round Ball :|]

Just wondering, why have you left it a day before the announcement to say that you heard foos are not playing? Surely, if you heard that news you would of said it way before? Obviously depending on when you heard it.

The only thing that would ease my pain from this would be Green Day being booked instead haha

I guess so but we are talking about Dave Grohl, Loves playing England and I cant see him turning down an offer from R&L

They could quite easily have only found out today.

I was told who was headlining and it wasn't Foo Fighters

Based on his ticket prices I'd guess he probably does. He's also playing the Saturday at Reading which has been when the biggest headliner has played over the last few years.

Tbh I'd prefer to see the lineup be Royal Blood/Imagine Dragons, Kendrick, Florence and the Machine than the same group but with Foos instead of Flo. It does maybe seem a little too poppy/V fest-y, mind. Also feels weak.

Gonna end up getting BMTH/FOB instead, aren't we?

Kendrick, Arctic Monkeys and Florence and the Machine is what I was told but as I said, that could have changed as it was a few weeks ago.

Or it could be a load of bollocks in the first place

I really do love that everyone's sources and information contradict eachother 

[The All Round Ball :|]

Plus, didnt the guy who runs the AM fan page say they are not playing?

Nah, it wasn't. Could be wrong now, but it was correct at one point at least.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

They'll only announce Kendrick tomorrow clearly just cos that's the only one were sure of.

[Guest]

I could believe Kendrick and Flo, but there seems to be too much suggesting that AM won't be there, and I'll be shocked if Royal Blood aren't at least coheadliners.

[Dukey]

Don't think my anticipation has ever been higher for a R&L announcement. Not sure whether that's a good thing.
