ah excellent...so seeing as it was me that started this thing, about the C&G anyway, you'll be DM'ing me shortly about where to meet and share a beer with you and Dave?

only seems fair tbh.

it's not what you've posted that has caused me to try and blag a ticket, tho.

[Wellyboot]

Soooo have they landed?

I can't believe how nuts people are going for The Foos. Obviously any headliner announcement is exciting, but I had no idea people could get this excited about a band like this.

If this is what it's like for the Foos then I can only image what it would be like if we had rumours of Taylor Swift performing...or maybe that's just me.

I'm not going to start even more probably-baseless stuff.

WHAT! How are these people going to survive until the next aimless rumour? they have been living off some scraps about a car park for the last 10 hours you heartless man.

 

PQ: What insect family does a velvet ant belong to?

nope, just because they're complete guesses apart from c&g (which itself appears to be someone's guess).

i'm pretty sure it's not someone's guess. parsonjack had specific info that it was a gig on Friday in Cheese & Grain.

You know, there's probably a sizable number of the people reading this thread who have no idea who Mike99 is. That makes me sad.

When did he last post?

Being the last fest before a fallow year it's my hope he becomes more active in the coming months!

[joeltg]

And there was me thinking I would check in at lunch and this would all calm slightly.

The list keeps growing on this thread!

[big__phil]

I hope the Cheese & Grain have their staffing levels sorted, because they've had a hell of a lot of publicity over the last day or so.

I'm sure he did ... tho whether there's anything to that who knows?

I've just had an indication of it being elsewhere, tho I can't be 100% sure on the meaning of what I've just had.

To be honest I was about to say the opposite - I don't remember so many negative comments 2 years ago?  Maybe I'm just not remembering correctly.

[Memory Man]

The hype this is stirring up is way beyond what i'd have expected, especially for a band that tours so frequently and are already so obviously headlining.

Full marks to them for making something truly unexciting, exciting (to some people)

For us normal people can they just get on with it and announce it so we can move on?

For the record, i reckon they will make an excellent headliner but them having headlined pretty much every large UK festival multiple times over the last decade and more, this is not at all an exciting headline announcement.

Was reading an article somewhere, think Newsbeat where the host Dermot OLeary said to expect a big surprise.

pretty sure the last 20 pages of this thread have my name all over them to a great degree tho.....I appear to have put Frome and the C&G on the map if nothing else.

...or did you feel it in your water?

it's a fucking big car park, and only a transit is needed for that hall.
