Can already see Primal Scream, Baroness, Whitney... 

Can't resist these things.

HMLTD, Goat Girl, Danny Brown, Alex Cameron, Mick Jenkins, Shame, The Growlers, The Black Angels, Andy Shauf, The Make-Up, The Coathangers.

Is certainly coming along as a line up having started off with Jake Bugg and Turbonegro as a couple of the higher names.

CORK_ is doing my head in though. Should be so easy.

Wouldn't feel too bad, I spent a good 10 minutes trying to work out what TINALS was before realising it was the initials of the bloody festival

Nice lineup in a lovely part of France for 80 euro. I'd take most of the names at Glasto

Are those anagrams? Anagrams are the only weak part of my Pointless game.

[the wonderwhy]

Yup. Can't really add any more to Dental's effort, other than The Blind Shake

Same. I'd never get past the head to head.

Rocky...as in A$AP Rocky

Chances of Blue Oyster Cult?

[Swieve]

I'm not sure about this tbh.  Bon Iver said they would be over in Europe in the early summer and the tour dates cancelled would just be those winter dates.  Could be many reasons for the cancelled dates not happening.  I think we will be ok and I would be shocked if they are not at Glastonbury

[FuzzyDunlop]

The Cranberries are doing a greatest hits tour with a "string quartet". Acoustic stage maybe?

Please spare me! I don't need a reminder of this, the one and only time I had a ticket to see Bowie...

Just about to say 'no chance' but I see they are down for a UK appearance in June. Bit long in the tooth these days? They were one of my most beloved bands of a certain era.

They are one of my favourite artists and I have yet had the pleasure of seeing them in the flesh.  I have a ticket to see them in Dublin at the start of June and tears will be shed if they don't play.  I really don't think they will cancel

Think they'd do all the letters for that. But apparently there's a moderately successful French rock band called Rocky so you're probably right about what it spells.

Yeah I can't see the logic in him cancelling tour dates in the middle of ones he hasn't cancelled. If he isn't playing, I'd suspect he never was.

Not sure where these last Manchester gig thing has come from. The last album was their best in years and I don't see them stopping anytime soon.

It was me. I said the only way they would get anywhere near filling the 20000 at Heaton Park or Old Trafford was if they announced it being their last gig or something. They did not get near filling Old Trafford when they headlined the Move festival many years ago.

I'm waiting impatiently for this New Order announcement as well.

Here is one for you :-)

what New Order announcement?must have missed this...

Tom Chapman said in an interview while they were in South America that there would be a North American tour and then something special in Manchester  during the summer. The north American tour has been announced.

As much of a scumbag that neo Nazi is, it is just as bad covering your face and then giving him a belt while he is not even looking in that direction. What a shithead thing to do.

Disagree entirely here, fascism is an ideology that relies upon physical strength to prove it's worth. What better way to disprove white supremacy than smacking some dickhead and showing they're not that tough. (see battle of cable street)

Nah only a shithead covers their face and cracks someone when they are not looking.

Another announcement for This Is Not A Love Song over in France tomorrow, which has already got a pretty nice lineup going. Fun way of teasing it, too 

Can already see Primal Scream, Baroness, Whitney... 

Number 3 on this is Echo and the Bunnymen. 

Who wants to come on Pointless with me?

It is perfectly aceptable to be a shithead to a neo-Nazi IMO. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

What if the Nazi was saying mean things about Manchester?

[Rubber Soldier]

"Heil Hitler! Also bands from Manchester are genetically inferior."

[Mardy]

"ein volk! ein reich! ein fuhrer! ein more slightly disappointing album from New Order"

The far left is just as bad as the far right. I sit in the middle, I think both of them are dickheads. Do you not see the irony in responding to someone being hateful, by being violent and hateful? It is like responding to gun crime by giving people more guns to protect themselves.
