To be fair the chilli peppers were responsible for one of the worst gigs i've ever been to and it's not just because it was at the Stadium of Light, they were just utter shite. Charged a scandalous amount of money for 2012 as well. 

Im glad I missed that cause I was gonna go being on the doorstep but something came up, cant even remember what so prob not that important. Anyway my mates went and said it was crap. 

Only been to one gig at the Stadium despite it hosting some good bands and that was Oasis simply cause I got a free ticket. Most bands whose been on ive either already seen or dont tickle me, Im still pissed off they turned the Stones down last year though.

You didn't miss much it was a truly awful gig, not helped by their shite performance and complete lack of interaction with the crowd. 

I've been to a few gigs there but it's got something missing for me although if they had gotten the stones i'd have been there as it turns out i went up to Edinburgh instead and had a fantastic weekend and one of the best gigs i've ever been to at Murrayfield.

It would be ironic if the badgers got there first.

Then it turns out it is Metallica in badger costumes!

Personally, I'd take that over The Cure

With or without Robbie Williams?

I feel like they're one of those strange acts where you feel like they'd not be right to headline, but also wouldn't fit any lower

I'd absolutely take that, and if they ever make it to the farm then they headline. Surely their positioning is not even a discussion point, even missing Freddie and with Adam Lambert. I mean admittedly I haven't seen them, but by all accounts I've heard they are bloody fantastic.

Latitude have just announced that they are making an announcement tomorrow so I’m guessing Glastonbury won’t be announcing anything as usually announcements don’t clash...

No I'll take the cure every day of the week never understand the reinvention of queen as some sort of saviour of rock . And that was with Freddie not the other bloke

Can't remember which festival but they announced on the same day as another one last time. 

[Blisterpack]

I reckon the Emerging Talent longlist will be next up, next few days.

The Killers were just leaked as one of the headliners for Woodstock's 50th Anniversary this year...the backlash on social media is not pretty. These guys are the epitome of a boring booking...

I don’t agree they’re boring; saw them at IOW last summer and it was great fun....underwhelming would be my take.

I think it has to do with the fact that they haven't had a "hit" in North America on either of their last 2 albums. They've played every festival 2 or 3 times now and they're approaching tblhe county fair/casino venue circuit due to their irrelevance...

Then they get booked for Woodstock...they must have a damn good booking agent...

Jesus and imagine dragons. Not even sure I know an imagine dragons song. I'm sure I do but couldn't name it. What a let down for a 50th.

Cone on, Radioactive. They are the epitome of a one song band.

Just googled it, skipped through and didnt recognise it, listened to a different song on youtube and it sounded exactly the same. A lot of scrunchy guitar and shouting of Hey. I'm sure there is one i know, I remember hearing something by them on the radio. Can't remember if I liked it but I remember the name. I mean you're gonna remember a band with dragons in their name even if you don't actually recall their music. It's late. I'll stop rambling now.

My 5yr old nephew loves imagine dragons and I make fun of him for it. It's like maroon 5 garbage. They're HUGE on the radio in Canada but it's awful awful pop shite.

It really is just a sign of our times that we have The Killers and Imagine Dragons headlining the 50th anniversary of Woodstock. Its utterly depressing in comparison.
