I think it's around the 30,000 mark.

I think Radiohead sold out eventually and Kasabian sold out a couple of weeks before it. Not sure about Biffy's day

As I remember, it was 60.000 last year.

Actually Kasabian sold out a day or two before, Radiohead and Biffy Clyro tickets were still available on the day of the festival

Actually Sanow Patrol seem to be a hedliner even less then Stereophonics and I don't believe in this at all

I strongly believe that AM are in and gonna play 1.07 day. Guess we can predict Arcade Fire on 6.07 cause they have really many European dates this summer and no single UK show in there

In the eyes of the bookers of this festival. Snow Patrol are headliners. They headlined T in the Park on all of their last three albums, whereas Stereophonics haven't headlined T in the Park for a long time.

Arcade Fire are supposed to be back in North America in July, but other posters are right that there still being tickets available to their Glasgow show in April doesn't bode well for them playing either. You can count them out.

I could possibly see Snow Patrol subheadline AM. AM are fairly massive so they could get away with it.

I think if anything they would be subbing a smaller headliner to make it worth £60 or however much, right? Arctic Monkeys day will sell out even if it’s the bloody Revs subbing.

[DomDom1984]

I see what you're saying but they wouldn't have Snow Patrol sub a smaller one surely.

Day splits for NOS Alive

Another festival for Snow Patrol. Being realistic, I would take Friendly Fires and Future Islands from there. Would love ATDI as well, but I don't hold much hope for that booking.

NOS waiting on a headliner above Snow Patrol, presumably?

Jack White & AM co/headline apparently

I'd say they would, yeah. What's the point in getting a bumper sub if not to boost sales? Like this year the one who'd probably struggle the most for sales had the 'special guest' sub.

I think it's a moot point anyway really cos I can't see them relegating Snow Patrol whilst simultaneously boosting Stereophonics but let's say if any day had the a whopping undercard it'd be the one with a shaky headline choice.

They'd really have the coheadline with Arctic Monkeys not QOTSA?

Apparently so, for NOS & MC

Only thing I've seen suggesting this is Neil telling me to hold on to that suggestion in the Mad Cool thread because I may get lucky (I just said it because I want it to happen), and have seen someone else suggest it in the NOS thread. I definitely wouldn't go as far as saying it's apparently what's happening.

[addicted2noise]

I think it'll be Am and Noel Gallagher with Snow Patrol subbing

Can't see Liam and Noel playing the same fest.

Arctic Monkeys and Snow Patrol for me. Florence if one of those doesn't happen.

[DomDom1984]

Noel headlining would be the same as Arcade Fire. Not exactly setting the heather alight with his arena tour. So imagine expecting him to sell that many tickets.

Noel could sub if he's willing, but he ain't headlining.

NOS have only got one headliner left to announced. Looks like Mad Cool might have two 

[DomDom1984]

See how Liam was supposed to be last year and ended up this year according to the Daily Record, is there a chance the same happened with The Cure? Their sources used to always be good, so maybe?

I don't believe they booked Liam Gallagher as a support this year and just held him over to headline the next. He just stuck around long enough I assume.

Anyway, The Cure wasn't a Daily Record shout - I think it was just talk from a forum from someone who said Radiohead were playing - but even then they're down as a European exclusive at BST so it's very much an outside option.

[DomDom1984]

Didn't realise they were an exclusive. I take a BST exclusive a lot more seriously than most so they're probably a non starter.

Surely there's not that much difference between him, Liam and The Stereophonics popularity wise? I just think DF will have them both headline as a way to increase ticket sales

i reckon that'll never happen on any bill. I reckon they won't want to create that competition between them, when they don't need to do it.

Muse and QOTSA again

[DomDom1984]

If Muse headline TRNSMT, I'll have an excitement fit.

[kingcrawler]

Pretty much given up hope on QOTSA for this now. Would surely have been announced by now and there's the AM rumour as well as Gary Lightbody and the lads lurking around.
