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?

There's also the 1975 example of using 2002 rather than whatever later year they changed their name.

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?

Pumpkins 99%

Tool are spanish exclusive at Download Madrid sadly

OK - thanks.

That Shaky Knees line-up is the best I've seen for 2019 so far - Deerhunter, Interpol, Oh Sees, Dashboard Confessional, Foals, Beck and Interpol would all go some way in rescuing what's a pretty unappealing list of Mad Cool announcements so far.

More of an idea of who's doing festivals next summer:

No automatic alt text available.

 

Foals and Grouplove would be great for MC. IMO Foals should be headlining that gig. Q's live act of the year 2015 I think.

Also Foals headlined Citadel year before Tame Impala but guess latter do better in US.

Yeah they’re not as big in America but they are clearly growing as they’ve managed second line there, as opposed to fourth line in 2016.

I see Major Lazer formed in 2009 but I presumed Diplo would be on with other stuff next year.

And yeh I think tomorrow will be Biffy. That forum likes any band as long as they're a rock band.

You wouldn't use the same logic you used in thinking it wasn't Bon Iver when they did one resulting in 2006 but without the numbers from any of his songs?

Oh yeah I actually agreed with those points when I was reading them and somehow had forgotten them by the time I replied lol.

Major Lazer is a good shout, doesn't really matter if he's doing other stuff tbh.

    • Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.
    • Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
