Gucci Piggy Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Just now, SomeoneListeningIn said: Ahh yeah I was probably thinking about Dan's info. Aye you're probably right, I feel like there'll be announcements before then too. It's just that Foos seem to love being pretty involved in their own announcements for festivals, it wouldn't surprise me if it happened. I could see Foos doing something different from the norm to either announce themselves or to tease it, just can't see that being a confirmation at the BRITS.

RUMINE Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Are we expecting the classic 'set your alarms' tweet before the announcement or just a sudden drop of the announcement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past they've done a heads up, pre-announcement announcement usually, but with PR changing could be anyone's guess I presume... Maybe that 'early 2018' tweet is as much of a heads up as we're gonna get :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBarbour Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 34 minutes ago, RUMINE said: Do we know who the new PR company is and if they have a history of anything like that (Foos live announcement) Yes the new PR company has been confirmed. They have a number of other festivals as well as R&L. They are more responsible for the content that goes out to publications and other medias. Maybe not so much a band live announcing such as the Foos. It depends on the bid they put in to win over Festival Republic and what they promised.

Stuielooie Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Foos also announced their what would've been glasto 2015 set at the NME awards: http://www.nme.com/news/music/foo-fighters-65-1224302 (slightly different scale NME vs Brits though) Edited January 15, 2018 by Stuielooie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently predicting the NME headliners to be Silk City, Wolf Alice and Post Malone, but there's plenty of other names being thrown about. There has been info that Wolf Alice have been booked to headline the stage so I'd say they're pretty certain. Yeah Slaves could possibly make an appearance but wouldn't be surprised if not, they've kinda dropped off a bit the last year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OscarEB Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Annie Mac has an announcement between 7-9pm tonight regarding “exciting bands” and an “event” Would be different but could she be announcing the first few acts? She was very secretive about the announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not big enough anymore. They headlined 2000trees last year and that's around NME sub level. Haven't done much since then EDIT: Just had a re read and got this wrong. Yeah, I guess they could play somewhere 4 minutes ago, Mattymooz said: Probably her malta fest I would imagine Main bulk has already been announced but isn't that mainly DJs though. Though I doubt it'd be R&L. Might be that new BBC fest EDIT: I think BBC have been planning a new festival at least.

TheWaters Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 It's been about two years since I've actively tuned into Radio 1, but I've just put it on in the background on my computer just incase it's the announcement. (Think it's unlikely but I just want an announcement hahah) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Chance Leeds might be getting canned? Just seems like a big scale movement for r&l... quite a big risk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
