festivalguy97 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 A guy on Reddit says that Idles posted this lineup on their Twitter account and then deleted it shorty after. So if that´s true, this may be a real poster. Aside from 3/4 bands misspeling (Oneothrix Point Never, Palmbomem) this looks actually legit, and even if it´s not, the poster tomoroow will look 50/60% like this one.

I'm so psyched up about the line up reveal tomorrow I can't think straight anymore, let alone read properly...

Every single other fake poster I've seen over the years has been an obvious fake. This looks the real thing. Except the numerous spelling mistakes, doubled-up acts, Public Service Broadcasting playing the same day as a London date (there's probably more things like that) and the style going from 'Dj Set' to 'DJ SET' to 'dj set' (among other inconsistencies)? I agree the acts seem about right but there's too many errors for a poster sent out to bands days before the reveal - Gabi himself said the poster was done about a week ago so it's not gonna be in rough still now.

xxialac Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 If true, is this the first time there has ever been an early leak of the lineup? I think so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting this is the version as of today - rather, this could well be e.g. a draft version Idles were sent a week or two ago. Would barely expect anything to change in that time (and at that time the PSB date hadn't been announced at APE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckula Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Am I the only one completely underwhelmed by that line up if it’s true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidDream Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Problem is that a lot of rumours start on reddit... A guy claiming he saw something. Remember the AM video that was supposedly posted and deleted shortly afterwards? Not entirely sure if it was fake, but some consensus it wasn't real.

So they wouldn't know PSB would be playing Saturday of their festival in London until it was announced by APE? No wonder they had to wait until after TINALS had announced! But yeah I think you're putting way too much faith in this. There have been good lineup 'leaks' before but very few are true as you've pointed out yourself.

Steph U Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 The "problem" are the speculations on this forum - when I heard some bands being speculated about for the very first time, I was freaking out. Seeing them on the poster NOW is more like "oh yup, expected that". Well, couldn't help it and stay away from this forum, hehe. But surely, the surprise factor is higher when knowing nothing at all.

There have been good lineup 'leaks' before but very few are true as you've pointed out yourself. Not quite saying that! More that it was a rough and ready first draft and as with all first drafts, there were a few things that they needed to tidy up. Also bands do end up moving days even after the poster has been put together. Can well imagine there was uncertainty about some bands availability at the time of the first draft.

That could have something to do with them playing two Auditori shows, like Jeff Mangum and Sufjan. Dunno whether they're that popular though, the TV show definitely is I guess?

Chopman Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Anyone else think beach house is a bit odd? They played high up the bill in 2016 and the only thing they've put out since is a b sides compilation. Definitely think cigarettes after sex, arca and charlotte gainsbourg are a bit high up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
