I'm going to give them another chance - they just seem so flat and withot substance ... perhaps another listen will change my decision ! 

I felt the same way when I first heard em. Give "Neon Bible" a couple of plays through  Even if you don't like their music all that much, they put on a pretty spectacular show! Or just watch them here with Bowie. (I'll give Imagine Dragons another spin too! Haha)

Cheers pal I'll give it a listen

"Funeral" is pretty good too:)

Funeral > The Suburbs > Reflektor = Neon Bible.

I want nothing from this line-up. Foals should take a hiatus cause they're everytime everywhere, Phoenix are utter shit from what I remember from last RW experience and the rest I couldn't care less.

I would take MØ after she pulled out last time.

[Dietediet]

MØ is a certainty after pulling out last year. And Phoenix is very likely as well: they did Dour not so long ago and Les Ardentes already has its non-hiphop/rnb headliner. The others will be at other festivals than RW.

Where would Phoenix play? Last time they subbed KoL/Blur and although I love them very much I remember the feeling that no one around me really cares about whats happening on stage. Do they have the appeal of Barn headliner or would they sub/play third on main before Radiohead or FF?

Stealing from another thread looks like the Weeknd is playing Opener. Might be a good shout bit if a similar booking to Pharrell in 2015

See Tom Petty playing BST week after RW. How would he fit into line up. He's someone I've always wanted to see live. Any chance ?

There are worse pop acts, he knows how to move a crowd... I'd prefer having him than the Weeknd..

I used to really dislike him and then I saw him live, he's such a good performer and he loves playing his guitar and getting the crowd going. There are many worse acts and you could be converted if he ends up playing!

Agreed - saw him at Glastonbury and he nailed it, imagine he would sub? Possibly for Foo Fighters?

What a great undercard Mad Cool have! I hope for: Ryan Adams, Spoon, Wilco, Belle and Sebastian, Wolf Alice,  Kurt Vile,  Dinosaur Jr., Royksopp and Xavier Rudd.

This! I'd love for him to play. Wasn't that fussed by him till I saw him at radio one big weekend one year and he smashed it.

[ParanoidTourist]

Wilco and Wolf Alice would be wonderful:)

RUN DMC, Bastille, George Ezra, Rag n Bone Man at Isle of Wight... Too many good announcements for june and july !
