Do we think theyll let us into it when the final poster is released? or will it be kept as a secret right up to festi time?

I'd love them to keep it a secret up until festival time. If we get through the gates and find out in our programme then either a) we're ecstatic and it makes things even more exciting or b ) it's nothing special and we carry on with the festival as usual but at least we got a bit of excitement out of the speculation and wishful thinking (much like having an unchecked lottery ticket)

Pink Floyd after previous rumours... just Gilmour a stumbling block

Little mix?

Is it wishful thinking to hope Perry might agree to a date if I book the Deluxe Diner now?

I'd say Rick Wright is the bigger problem.

Green Day are free on the Sunday and in Belfast the Thursday after

They are on the lineup for Southside / Hurricane Festival that weekend.... which is a 2 venue festival like V fest and Reading. Do they only play one of the venues? Fucking awful advertising them on the lineup if they arent going to play...

Probably nothing to do with it, but 25th June marks the 50th anniversary of 'All You Need Is Love'

McCartney legend slot with holograms like at Coachella that year?

Hurricane on 23rd, Southside on 24th

1 word, STEPS!!!!

 

You heard it here first...........

[FloorFiller]

Regardless of what/who this ends up being, so nice to see the forum back in full swing of ridiculous speculation this close to the festival  Usually all about act placements by now so exciting to have something else to drive us crazy for a little while at least.

[Hotchilidog]

Well this has taken my mind off the secret resale for a bit. The return of wild speculation is back, it's whathtis forum does best.

Swifty to make a triumphant debut please!

They've backed themselves into a corner a bit with this.  

Given the unlikelihood of them having something truly special up their sleeves all that'll happen is widespread disappointed faces on Xmas Morning when everyone unwraps their present to find only BeardFace Elbow and the lads inside doing their song about the window.

Yeah she probably should've not said a thing and then have some people ecstatic when Elbow end up being on the bill, rather than have tons of people disappointed that Oasis and The Stone Roses haven't joined forces to play at 2pm on the John Peel.

What I'd really like is a 21st anniversary full album set of Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals. 

I can dream...

There's not a chance in hell that Phil Collins has been prepping his own band for the tour and Genesis. I realise that this thread is hitting peak speculation, but behave, people!

Ben

Ben is right we need to manage expectations of the big announcement, something simple like Talking Heads or The Jam in the legends slot.

[DJ Cull]

Really big secret doesn't necessarily mean really good secret lol.

I'm going with Little Mix opening the Other Stage & Take That on Sunday afternoon.

Rod Stewart??
