Biffy Clyro, Mogwai, Sufjan Stevens?

Thank you, I know it won't be Sufjan but i'll stupidly be impatient for the next 24 hours haha.

Biffy Clyro wouldn't really fit that description, does it? That band is touring literally every year and isn't exactly a big/huge act.

They're pretty big and a renowned live act though. Soulwax formed in '95 but they certainly don't fit that description any better. 

[Nicklord]

Not a single act from those fit the description tho

Biffy Clyro are the rockiest one, I'll go with them

I think that what the message in that forum meant is that the users of that forum were going to like tomorrow's announcment, not the general public. So probably Mogwai

Either Mogwai or Biffy, for sure. Sufjan would be dreamlike though

[Guest]

Surely if it was Biffy either 27 or 57 would have been used?

The EStreet Band reformed in 1995  -  Bruce couldn't be there could he?

Yeah they're good but it's also a band you can see every year.

Sufjan however, an act that's almost never playing (EU) fests, would be a massive get. Could also fit on the lineup next to the National and Bon Iver.

But the thing "if you don't like tomorrow I don't know anymore" or whatever it was suggests it's something to shut those up who moaned about Bon Iver and The National.

Oh right. That's numberwang.

Also 9/15ths coulda been used. So you're right, it doesn't look as if it's Biffy.

Yeah was just writing exactly this. Reckon that's enough to rule them out of tomorrow's announcement. Doubt they've suddenly got lazy (or perhaps consciously less obvious) with it for a fairly big name one. 

[Guest]

I reckon it might be Sufjan y'know.

[dentalplan]

I reckon it might be Air, cos we all like air.

Can't imagine Sufjan doing Mad Cool...

Why not? He's pretty versatile and god knows what he might be cooking up. 

[Guy Incognito]

dunno if this is still the case but he used to be very picky about what festivals he did. He played End of The Road a few years ago and I think thats the only UK festival he's ever done. Supposedly they used to ask him every year if he wanted to headline and was finally convinced after receiving a hand writen request from the organiser's kid and after he visited the festival to scope it out.  

[young_contra]

I'm keen on Mogwai being the confirmation

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

Could also be Coheed and Cambria, Evanescence, Godsmack, In Extremo, Morcheeba, Nickelback or Zebrahead, to add some names

[neacaisa]

god, please no nickelback

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

Misfits also reunited in 1995

[DDave]

The Dust Brothers changed their name to the Chemical Brothers in 1995.

That's my pick.

Great shout. Current line-up is crying out for a top-class electronic/dance act and they seem like a logical option. The line-up really doesn't need Biffy Clyro.

Are most people expecting Tool and the Pumpkins to be on the line-up?

They wouldn't announce Chems using a 1995 hint, I guess. The hint is always related to the year the band started, why would it refer to the year of a name change this time?
