It’s nearly March. Bands know if they are there or not.

If Biffy ain’t booked they’d just say no.

Right I’m gonna moot that Calvin Harris is not playing. We don’t really have solid info he is, but we have some info now that Royal Blood, Biffy Clyro and Pet Shop Boys are there.

Won't be royal blood but Tom from royal blood is doing is live set with radioactive man on the sliver Hayes stage.

I find it quite endearing

I just find it bizarre.

I mean, questioning whether a wildly impractical act could play is harmless enough. But just making things up like "Band X isn't playing" especially when you've got the name of the guy in band wrong, is just a bit twattish.

Completely agree.

Slightly off topic but one of the Royal Blood chaps once walked into a pub where we were watching the rugby before going to see them in Portsmouth (this is a few years back). He had his hood up, but within a few steps I nudged my mate and said something a long the lines of 'that's yer chap from Royal Blood' in what I thought was quite a quiet way. 

He made eye contact with me, clocked he'd been recognised, sighed as his shoulders dropped then turned 180 and walked straight out again without saying a word. I felt bad for the guy for a while, I never would've approached him as he obviously didn't want to be bothered.

I didn’t even realise that Tom is not the name of the guy in Royal Blood. How unfortunate!

I highly doubt he gets papped.

I know a few stories like this from bands similiar sized and or smaller to Royal Blood, especially around the time that they're touring. Its a shame really.

That’s just classic Tom.

    • Either or. They both play the same venues.

    • Interesting to read. It's mostly why we stopped going a few years back even though it's the nearest big festival to home. The post-exams timing and location makes it a rites of passage first festival for people in a big area. Understandably that leads to a bit of giddiness. Think lineup would need to be a lot more my cup of tea to be enticed back. Friends who are there are having a good time tho and no rain is a good thing for up there.
    • I honestly didn't know it had, I still thought it was where the view overlooked the lake and view.   I think my decision not to attend this year at least was justified. Biffy was the big draw but after Finsbury I knew they wouldn't play what I want to hear again and well work also got in the way. Believed interesting to hear if Libertines were any good as they were also a pull but Sunday did nothing for me really with all my acts on Friday and Saturday.
