Im not sure, I wouldn't say its dire, They're a long running act, former major festival headliner, they've headlined Reading for sure, probably Glasto. They're a very popular act throughout Europe but you would like to see Victorious push on a bit when all the fests throughout Europe they aren't headlining and the only one they are headlining is a 5k Bluedot in UK, it kinda seems a step backwards. 

They'll pull in the older crowd which Victorious needs, cus yeah they're the Specials on Saturday but they'll want to get people all days, I've seen a lot of people welcome that it could be New Order playing. 

If they can't find anyone that fits the job to play above New Order, they'll have just give it New Order. Sometimes you gotta just go with what you can get. 

 

For me, I’ll just fins something else to do, I can’t have it my way all three days as I think all the days are solid with things to watch so new order will be one I can miss. I do think it’s a ste Backward though.

I’ve had a look through last years lineups for global and If they go down the line of booking a previous act it’s just the same names who we’ve ruled out. Like foals, Liam G (did snowbombing which is global) catfish jamiroqai and courteeners. Probs going to be new order cause I do not see any of them than catfish playing.

It's 15,000, is Bluedot.

I really think they'd have to headline. They headlined Latitude and the Other Stage at Glastonbury only a couple of years ago - they're a bit of a coup for Bluedot, spurred on by them being local and having a previous gig at the venue. When you look over at Rudimental headlining Saturday, you can't really expect New Order and also someone bigger than them on the Sunday.

I dunno take last year I'm sure Brian Wilson cost a lot more than Friendly Fires did in the sub category. Its often in fests some days look stronger than others. I get your point, I'm expecting them to be headlining but maybe some strong acts announced alongside tomorrow. 

Wonder if Pro Green will get replaced tomorrow?

 Do we think we’re getting new order as a headliner or maybe someone else.. If it is new order it’s dire for headliner.

Have to agree, I'm afraid. I did see New Order in Hyde Park a while back, and they didn't amount to much. Support was Moby, who was probably better. New Order would be a little bit of a disappointment, but the Sunday undercard (Sundercard) is great: Ash, Futureheads, Razorlight, Vaccines, Ziggy Marley. Maybe I'll get an early night on the Sunday. Maybe NO will drag Kylie along for a bit of kitsch.

Peter Hook has been announced for festivals today! Still think it could be him and someone else headlining.

I personally think all headliners this year are weaker than most years at most festivals. I would say this is also true of victorious, however the undercard at victorious is good, especially for the money.

I wonder if we may see Peter Doherty return again?  Just announced a tour with a new band (+ the puta madres), so could argue it doesn’t break the victorious rule of rebooking acts. I do feel this years line up is lacking an edge. Whereas last year we had the libertines, Paul weller, the prodigy, the cribs, sleaford mods, happy Mondays and cabbage, this year it is very middle of the road with the exception of a couple. Hoping the next announcement mixes it up a bit and avoids the likes of Keane. New order would certainly help, and what about the stranglers and echo and the bunnymen who are both active?  Plenty of exciting new bands around to choose from too

there is not a chance that Hooky is headlining a 65,000 capacity festival. He plays half way down the bill at 5,000 capacity festivals.

Yeah, you misunderstand what I meant. I mean the Blue Monday sign could mean Peter Hook is playing and a Different band (NOT New Order) is headlining. 

Better?

Think he just means hook as the blue Monday clue and playing on the line up somewhere and we have a different headliner. 

You will get the press release today anyway so you'll know soon enough!

I wonder if Primal Scream might sub New Order if it is them, seems could be a good pairing. Vaccines on 3rd down. 

Primal Scream played in 2015 and were second on stage, are they enough of a draw?. I know they are a great and and would go well with New Order. Just seems weak after the last few years.

Could it be Hacienda Classical? Have Victorious booked them before? Would definitely suit an afternoon special guest slot and obviously the Blue Monday clue.

I imagine it's New Order to headline otherwise. Can't see them building hype up for Hooky to play a mid afternoon set.

Suede have just announced a festival date, they would definitely fit the victorious demographic ?

Playing Southampton Guildhall in April - So I'd assume proximity would rule them out at least at being confirmed today.

Also I hadn't seen this on Portsmouth News earlier this week which pretty much is self-confirmation of New Order as headliners .... Unless they're really trying to throw a curve ball lol.

"Director of the festival, Andy Marsh, suggested New Order could be performing as the lead act after posting a tweet with a picture showcasing the word 'Monday' – in the colour blue."

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
