Would be more than happy with The Killers.

 

Chances of Snow Patrol? They (apparently) have a new album out this year and been away for a while.

The Killers would be great in my opinion before Radiohead (I know The XX are very likely to get that spot). And then there is Queens of the Stone Age who apperantly are releasing a reckord this year, I'd love to have them before Foos :)

Someone on the Pukklepop boards seems to think it's looking they will play headline there instead

Looking at their calendar, I think that The Killers are WAY MORE probable than the XX to be sub for Radiohead, I'd see The XX for Pukkelpop instead. Maybe we'll get the answer tomorrow :) The XX are just a rumour launched here, but realism tends to be in favor of the Killers.

I think you could be right, although seem a better fit than the killers. Did not realise they have got so big, especially in the UK,

Hoping xx play werchter and sziget as they are amazing. :D

RW changed their Facebook's photo to a poster of the act that already been announced. Seems like a weird thing to do if they're were going to announce something tomorrow in my opinion. Could it be that there wont be any announcement tomorrow?

The new The XX-album is being presented today at radiotation Stubru. Stubru usually announces the new names for RW on fridays @ 16h. They also mention, on their site, that big news is being announced for the Stubru-listeners today @ 16h about The XX.  Seems obvious that The XX will be added to the line-up today

Flemish radio station Studio Brussel tells the XX will make a "huge" announcement at 16.00 this friday afternoon. That's exactly the time RW announces new acts. So it's either the XX on the RW bill, or the XX playing an intimite gig for the Stubru-listeners at Club 69.

I hope the XX are the people that are announced although I have tickets for one of the Brixton dates.

just about finished my first play through of I See You and can't wait to hear the new material live.

Sold out 7 nights at brixton, can't remember a band playing brixton on a tour so much.

Better than playing a couple of nights in a London arena, although they seem to be playing an arena in Wales. Would be interesting how there sound went in a arena though.

That was me. With the amount of touring they are doing this year I wouldn't bet against them doing both. Subbing probably Radiohead or AF at RW and headlining Pukkelpop. Pukkelpop have taken a subbing band at RW as one of their smaller headliners in the past.

Makes sense that it's a RW announcement today now that the Belgian gigs have sold out.

99% certain it's a Club 69 concert. Stubru has never been allowed to tease the content of upcoming RW announcements before. And their tweet is in exactly the same fashion as previous Club 69 announcements.

It would also imply we won't get Werchter names today, as Stubru purposely chose to do the announcement at 4pm...

I hope so ... although I feel the millers are a bit past it they are still a great live act ... Branson has so much energy and the xx just don't seem to have the energy ... fingers crossed it's killers

Are these Club 69 concerts a night thing or a daytime concert?  Looks like Friday 3rd March is the most obvious date.

Could it be the Pukkelpop announcement Chokris daughter was hinting at?  You'd have thought there was more of a build up from the PP organisers if it was though and as good as they are it's hardly a massive first announcement.

      What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.

      2027 Headliners

      By ghostdancer1 · Posted

      Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......

      I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
