Maybe Pearl Jam instead of solo show in Prague?

Doubt it. Doesn't fit the rumoured PJ tour dates. Will see soon

[mln]

Aren't they like too big for Colours? I know The Cure played last year, but they did only festivals, so it was quite different. Also, like Ferda said, their rumoured schedule doesn't have place for CoO.

I would say they are the same size as The Cure but it all depends on their fee.

And yeah, there's no place for CoO and it seems that Prague is out as well lol.

[Kusy]

No PJ here.

The Killers is about to announce some shows in Eastern Europe this week, so I would say they are very likely

Source? Yeah, they seem like a good fit for Colours. And that would explain the wait as it would be a huge announcement for the festival. 

[Ferda]

1st announcement on Tuesday 10:35.

The will definitely headline festival on Moscow 17-19 July, so I think there is big chance for them at Ostrava

So what are the possibilities? The Killers, Twenty One Pilots, Foals, Iggy Pop?

Liam Gallagher is rumoured for FIB, so guess we could include him too.

Pearl Jam announced for BST and Rock Werchter  today. Maybe we got a Tuesday announcement because those two wanted rights for first announcement?

I'd trust @Kusy when it comes to PJ shows:

twenty one pilots are about to be announced for electric castle, they have to be a strong possibility for this too. they often share headliners, being in the same weekend usually.

They didn't have rights for first announcement. PJ announced whole tour with all festival dates as well.

That'd be utterly terrible  

Faith No More are still announcing new dates, also a possibility.

Would love FNM but I would say they're out of budget for them. The Killers + TOP is pretty expensive duo, so I expect someone cheaper to headline the other 2 days. Iggy can be a good shout but I guess they will go for someone more artsy...

Open to surprises though ?

So you think The Killers and TOP are pretty certain? Foals are playing Spain and Portugal on 18th and 19th July, so they could easily play CoO on Wednesday or Thursday. Also, if not The Killers, I think Kings of Leon can be a possibility.

Yeah, I think one of the headliners must be of more mainstream nature. Looking at other festivals' line-ups, it can be Khalid (don't really know how popular he is in Czech Republic) Major Lazer or Martin Garrix (like Kygo in 2018)?

[Ferda]

We'll see tmrw/very soon, but my money would be on these two. I would love it personally, so can't complain ? other names I've heard are less appealing to me. KoL would fit but no evidence of them being around in mid July afaik.

I wouldn't bet on 3 really big headliners to be announced, my guess is 2 big ones + 2 medium ones (2019 model) but will see. Tons of acts are around, much more than how it looked few months back. Interesting summer, indeed.

Can you share what you've heard? 

Assuming they will announce a headliner tomorrow, I hope they won't stop with that and give us some names from 2nd and 3rd line in the following days (to be honest, these are the best in Colours )

[Jancker19]

[alan_ts]

[neacaisa]

it's twenty one pilots, of course.

other names that have been announced this morning for electric castle: the neighbourhood, foals, amon tobin, zhu, floating points, alec benjamin.

however, the two festivals don't share too much of the undercard usually.

[mln]

Disappointing start for me, but we all expected them. Hopefully, another names to follow soon.
