Bing it mate.

[the wonderwhy]

oh 'elo 'elo 

[DomDom1984]

Hopefully that's a curveball and it's actually McFly.

Absolutely no way Franz are big enough to headline one of these shows, even in their heyday.

They headlined Reading and Leeds one year so they probably were.

I was at that show,  but even back then if it were a one day show like BST it wouldn't have happened. Pearl Jam, Muse & Arctic Monkeys were the big draws at Reading that year from memory.

[DomDom1984]

With a decent support, I think they could have done a one off show, especially not doing other stuff like I'd imagine will be the case with the hinted act.

They were billed as a Co-Headliner with Kaiser Chiefs (I think it was the first time they tried the quantity not quality headliner bit).

Franz did play after Kaisers for the Reading date at least though.

No they werent. FF were the clear headliner that year. They co-headlined with Scissor Sisters at V not long before but headlined Reading on their own.

All this conversation over a joke. Christ. Move on lads, noone gives a crap about Franz Ferdinand's past or future headlining ability.

[Gucci Piggy]

Calm down mate

[DomDom1984]

"All this conversation"

I'll translate that.

"A few posts."

[Tommy101]

For the record @DomDom1984 was right though. No idea why I thought otherwise but was my first night of music at a festival so was quite confident.

Am thinking

Fleetwood Mac

Rod Stewart ("Do Ya" Think I'm Sexy)

McCartney (hasn't played England in about 4 years)

[the wonderwhy]

 Well that covers Jeff Lynne and Roger Waters so only need one more

Didn’t think about the clue being Rod. And he’s an AEG artist. Grim.

But he'll be 70 by next Summer.

Hmmmm.

Yeah Jeff Lynne is going to get a year older on his birthday so although he's currently 69 (hehe) by next summer he will be 70. 

Interesting

Shutup you turd I was saying he couldn't be included in the "3 acts in their 70s" clue cos he's 69 but then because he's 70 by the time BST takes place maybe he could be included.

Only just saw this post but yes they are indeed 100% doing this next year. 

EDIT when I say this, I mean the reunion tour, not 100% BST

Is this still the case? James Iha looks to be still touring and doing press with A Perfect Circle.
