tomorrow can go Three ways, it can be an absolute shit storm of acts, fairly good acts with a few poor ones or 3 quality headliners with some decent subs. 

Congratulations to captain obvious

Yes I am going on Holiday to Rome, thanks for asking Dom. 

[HornetMan]

The absolute meltdown Twitter is going to have if AM aren't on the lineup is going to be glorious

How have they got The Killers at Latitude, surely they haven't dropped that much.

The Killers are also doing TRNSMT, Isle of Wight and two stadium shows, so they are spread a bit thin in terms of demand - but they'll sell a lot of tickets for Latitude.

Regarding FATM - with the announcement of a new album in 2018 it would be silly not to book them. They are deserving of an outright headline slot and would be a statement regarding the sexism in the music festival industry. Seems a no brainer. 

Kendrick, FATM, Royal Blood-Paramore (co headline) would be a great 4 and would make me get a weekend ticket (unless the undercard is awful).

I feel like if Flo is there it'll be instead of/coheadlining with Royal Blood. Will be really shocked if Foos aren't there.

Probably right. I was just thinking of a semi-realistic lineup that would suit my music tastes.

Any chance of a prediction game in a separate thread like previous years?

 

Edit: My bad, just seen there is one

There is absolutely 0 talk online about KoL touring// having a new album out  No recent interviews. I would seem that it's going to be a year off for them 

Unless it is a surprise European exclusive show of "only by the night in full" (10 year anniversary) I can't see them being booked 

[RalphHanley1980]

I've heard Richard Hawley will be headlining NME stage!

[undecided]

" from a reliable source I can C0NF1rm that the Headliners will b : 

Snoop dogg

Lilly Allen 

The cheeky girls 

 

[festivalsaregood]

Florence and the Machine was meant to be headlining a new festival this summer but it didn't happen in the end (Gorillaz and Rolling Stones were gonna be the other headliners) so it would make sense that she'd want onto another big UK festival as part of her comeback so I wouldn't be surprised to see her announced tomorrow.

[Gucci Piggy]

Some people think the final Bestival headliner will be Royal Blood based on the clues given. I don't think they will be, but if so I'd probably predict Florence in their place.

[Gucci Piggy]

And this Dan Wilcox info just sounds like one of his fake ones like the LCD Soundsystem/Kanye/GnR ones last year. No chance of KoL imo.

[Hawky]

Because of all the phonies, we will never be able to spot when someone is telling the truth about a source.

 

It's a difficult world we live in, the thread has turned me into a skeptic.

trying to think if we have ever had a headliner announced COMPLETELY out of the blue, with no prior indication that they're active. Don't think we have.

That would explain the weird wording of the bestival lineup too

I can see that tbh, if Royal Blood want to headline a snaller fest before jumping up to something as big as R&L. Weird that they never played this era tho
