Mattymooz Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 3 hours ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Foos are looking 99% nailed on. Royal Blood are probably either gonna headline outright or coheadline (I think they'll coheadline with Paramore). Then the third is a bit more up in the air. Main names getting thrown about are Kendrick, Arcade Fire and Arctics. Personally think it will be Kendrick but AF wouldn't surprise me too much. Don't think there's much chance of AM but could be wrong. TBH I think Kendrick is way more likely than Royal Blood imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, given the fact that Eminem is nailed on for V fest at this point, Kendrick basically only has R+L left (whereas Royal Blood has loads of other options) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I think he's likely to play, but Royal Blood being the most successful British rock band in the last few years means R&L are gonna push them and book them when they can. Seems like they've played the long game, letting other fests get them last year, waiting for them to (co)headline exclusively this year. Just to reiterate, I think the headliners will be Paramore / Royal Blood, Foos, Kendrick. I'd just put money on Royal Blood before I'd put money on Kendrick at this point.

I said it was the reason, but it's not quite the only reason. Over the years I've come to know a little of what goes on around the pixies, so i'm mixing that into them having tweeted. Ultimately i'm guessing that the tweeting means something, but i do think it means something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean sub Royal Blood I think that's fair don't know why that's a bad thing?? could sub anywhere, doubt they could push co headline quite yet. That Newcastle show is great though, Everything Everything and Little Comets as support is brilliant. Understand they're not everyone's cup of tea but they don't half put on a show when they're live.

Guest Posted December 13, 2017 Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) I reckon they could sub someone like Foos. But yeah, NME headliner seems to be the best placing if they do play.

New stuff isn't bad and could be the nostalgia factor for this year so it is possible they're being underestimated a little bit. Agreed that they would benefit being the alternative to kendrick though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
