I think I’m right in saying over a good number of years we have on here always worked out who the headliners will be, in advance of any announcements.

 

Have we ever been completely blindsided? 

Think The Who was relative unknown.

 

Pretty sure they actually had another gig booked in that day?

Yes they did, and rescheduled it to accept the Glastonbury offer.

And people wonder why efestivals is no longer the place to come and post rumours and information they have had passed to them.

 

If I was genuinely in the know I wouldn't bother coming here in a month of Sundays as I know how much sh*t I'd get.

Yep. One person remains and that's it. The same people just post elsewhere which somehow makes it less worthy info apparently.

I for one am grateful that you are. 
I hate the format of the discord server and some of the cliques. 
Your posting the info here keeps me in touch 

Yeah, wouldn't want to spend much time in there but great info

Kalifire is. Numerous times.

Discord isn't a secret society.  You know we can all read what's posted on there anyway?

Not trying to keep it a secret fs, passing on info from there and saying it's from there is not exactly a secret society is it

I’d like to think I’m always very welcoming of people on here who provide info for our line up rumours page.

Yet you both bother coming here to stir things up still?

Why on earth are you being so hostile? Can you explain how I'm stirring things up?

I've never even seen the Discord.

Wish I’d have been on Discord when Rod Stewart was announced a week early. 
 

Could have listened to Maggie May 7 more times. 

And therefore got it on your Spotify Wrapped.

Is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?

No one is giving anyone sh*t for posting info . People are however choosing not to believe stuff which is absolutely fine . As is the giving of info . 

I really don't think that's true but there we go. It's boring having people coming in this thread and complaining that nothing is confirmed when we want to discuss and speculate - that's the entire point of the thread no?

 

Apparently one poster should bore off, and I'm just coming here to stir things up.

 

Not everyone by any stretch of the imagination but as I said if I knew anything I certainly wouldn't come and post it here.
I might be misremembering this (apologies if so) but didn't roughbloke get slated for information he gave last year?

“actually being booked” = official announcement. Anything until then is rumour. I get there are more informed rumours than others, but rumours nonetheless. 

In fairness acts who are actually "officially announced" don't always end up headlining when they are supposed to "U2,  Foo Fighters" for instance 

 

Literally ANYTHING could happen! Great fun innit!

No roughbloke got sh*t from neil if I recall which as the owner at the time was out of order and I very much hope he and others feel able at some point to return … if not however id like to feel that the efforts made by a number of people into helping iggy with his new venture are starting to pay off both with the numbers of people signing up to gold and browsing the threads . Some will believe and some wont nothings changed in that regard in my 15 years here … doesn’t matter who or where the source is . Lineup page has what we have as the latest … if anyone has anything to share then absolutely feel free to dm Avalon and we will update that page and we can then discuss it on here 

[incident]

Can all this sh*t get moved to off topic? Or preferably, discord?

[Crazyfool01]

Yep good shout incident … back to headliners please 

[mufcok]

Was there some Underworld chat on here the other day? That would be cool, loved them on West Holts last time.

 

Woodsies would be perfect

[jonnytee1]

Can we not stop all this arguing?  

 

seriously some people will start an argument out of nothing.

 

@fraybentos1 -  your pies are rubbish mate

Don’t think there’s any info but they’re popping up in all the surrounding festivals, have a new album, and haven’t played in what will be 9 years so seems a good bet they’ll be there - either Woodsies or Park headliner I’d imagine.

Sorry - I may have got you confused - think it was the month of sundays comment, thought you were on discord. 

 

Tbh, some of the comments I read on discord annoy me, but this thread has been derailed enough...

[JayDiesel]

I reckon Foals will do it this year, definitely big enough 😉

They’d be a good counter option to Neil Young headlining West Holts.

You're opening a can of erm  . . . . pies with that comment sunshine, and as the resident pie expert i feel im qualified to steam in and derail the arguments with pie chat. Fray bentos pies are acceptable, and have often been a last port of call emergency saviour, sitting in the cupboard all ambient and ready. The steak n kidney puddings are particularly alright. 

 

Obviously they're not brilliant pies, but they do a job, and ill not have them slandered! 

 

The steak and ale piglets pantry pie i had at Crawley v Lincoln at the weekend was a wonderful pie, thats my most recent pie. 9/10 i'd say

The Balti pies at Villa Park are exceptional. Also the Stephens Steak Bridies at East End Park Dunfermline. Furthermore, Fray Bentos tins are very good for making Yorkshire Puddings in. That is all.

It wasn't info just someone hoping for them but posted in a way that made it look like info.

@balti-pie where do you stand on Pieminister Vs Square Pies?
