BST announcement imminent....

I reckon that guy with the GD info was on the money!

[Slimus]

Green day tickets on sale on amazon tickets

[dentalplan]

So who does everyone think they're gonna announce?

[foolee]

SO who does everyone think will be support? When does BST usually announce the undercards? Think this will make my second time at BST for sure. 

[atomised]

I reckon thats confirmed then. Decent support line up ill be there 

[Andre91]

A Saturday makes it really tempting. Hopefully the support will be decent. Something along the lines of this would make me part with my cash: 

Green Day 
The Offspring
Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls
New Found Glory 
Moose Blood 
The King Blues 

I would for the main support to be Weezer, though.

I would expect something a lot more general and wider reaching than that. Stuff like Kaiser Chiefs and Slaves.

This would be great!

Do you think? Even though when the usual lineups are announced it seems to be aimed towards the headliner of the day?

Not a chance it'll be that strong.

It would still be aimed at the headliner but from a sales point-of-view they're best off geared towards the mainstream rock crowds than the pop-punk ones - though, come to think about it, The Offspring would satisfy both. I could be completely wrong anyway, it's just what I'd expect.

[Mash011]

Yeah Green Day are a strong enough booking that they won't need an especially strong line up to boost them. They'll also book stuff that's different enough to draw in a wider crowd. I'm going with Slaves for main support, dunno beyond that.

[foolee]

I wonder if FIDLAR or SWMRS could make an appearance.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Bruno Mars will do this I think, unless V have got him

I doubt it, RHCP sold their arena tour instantly but struggled with their Knebworth date the other year.

The only one who sold out very quick was Taylor Swift...and obviously The Stones did well too.

Knebworth was still pretty much sold out by the time the gig happened though, wasn't vast amount of room to roam around once they took to the stage.

So daft Punk? Is this happening?

You genuinely believe that website is real? It's obviously fake I'm afraid.

[the wonderwhy]

What are the dates for this? If its the first two weekends of July I'd guess Coldplay could be a good shout as they've got their Dublin/Cardiff dates around the second weekend.

I assume it's the first two weekends of July, unless they run on Glasto weekend again. Hope not otherwise one of the three non-Glasto days has already been filled by something I don't wanna see.

BST is beneath Coldplay, really. I mean, I know Rolling Stones did this and so did Bon Jovi and whoever but they're AEG bands so it makes sense that AEG have them do their own festival thing, whereas Coldplay aren't and did Wembley three or four times last year for (at a guess) much higher revenue so it wouldn't make all that much sense.

I can defs see Lady Gaga doing this by the way, seeing as she's an AEG artist and not a stadium headliner anymore but could still do something like this.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Aren't Guns N Roses an AEG band?

Yeah. They were believed to be pencilled in for BST this year too but of course they never came to Europe in the end. I think the rumour is stadiums next summer though.

Yeah from what I've seen stadiums seems most likely. Got a few friends who are adamant they'll be at Download, can't help but think they'll be disappointed as I don't see it myself.

They won't be at Download. Whatever Download offers it still won't be what they'll earn from multiple nights at Wembley and other potential stadiums.

So Phil Collins? He will be the one to sell out this year surely
