I suppose all the ‘journalist’ had to do was look through social media or check our rumours page. Lazy journalism to get a story that’s probably true but definitely not some sort of exciting exclusive 

and I still want Sam Fender! 

[K2SO]

4 BRITs for Charli tonight. Neil who??

[angelin]

Yes me too he was the best thing on The Brits

[NorthernSoul52]

Fender continues to look like the proverbial missed opportunity. 

[K2SO]

Oh make that 5 BRITs

Man hit the jackpot.

[incident]

So basically, the Daily Mail are reporting exactly the same thing that we've expected for 4-5 months now?

 

Fair enough. Nice to see they're as on the ball as ever.

[NorthernSoul52]

Presume they wouldn't go until they were certain they wouldn't look absolutely daft, even though much of their work is indeed fiction.

It's been near enough certain since mid November. The only doubt has been people who didn't like it and so tried to come up with reasons why it wouldn't be them, or manifesting that it'd be someone else.

[NorthernSoul52]

Technically, I am neither of those categories and I still have doubt.

You would presume if it is now 100% (I don’t want it to be either btw) and what their source is saying about another “surprise” huge band is true , then we can expect the line up next week? 

[NorthernSoul52]

Next two weeks. If big pubs are starting to suggest they're locked, then they'll ever drop to confirm the jig is up or double down and stick it out.

To the 1975 haters in here who obviously have no taste in great music. Listen up. Matty Healy and his band are going to blow away this festival in front of 120k gob smacked punters. They are without question the best live act this country has produced in the last 25 years. Miss their gig you will be missing out history in the making. There is nobody else to choose from, AC/DC past it, GNR past it, Arctic Monkeys national embarrassment god dam awful live. Unless Freddie Mercury rises from the grave this is the best band you will ever likely to see live.

Matty? Is that you?

[NorthernSoul52]

I wouldn't quite go that far, but the reviews do generally speak for themselves.

And then, to be actually fair, I'm not sure I've seen many British acts deliver a better live show, which maybe suggests I need to get out more.

Well, it's your opinion and you're entitled to it... complete bobbins of course, but I think the downvotes were unnecessary! 🙂

Yeah, I upvoted, despite him saying ACDC are past it, which was proven not to be the case last summer...and I don't think there will be 120k there...and I don't think it will be history in the making. As a fairly neutral bod in the 1975 sphere, I will probably be one of them, intrigued and happy to be gobsmacked if that is what is in the offing.

Aye. It's a fair shake with any act you see. Let you discover their live attraction for yourself.

I like The 1975 and seen them five times and think they are very good but best live act, really? Granted they are good but they would struggle to make my top 100.

 

If you think they are that good, I would suggest you go to more gigs as there are so many better acts. The 1975 is a lowish bench mark to be judging best live act from.

 

Although, I do agree they are going to be much better then people who have never seen them live before expect. However, if someone does not like indie or pop, they will not enjoy them full stop.

Could maybe have everyone’s DOB printed on tickets this year, to save time when Matt Healy does that bit where he IDs then kisses girls in the crowd 

[lendan]

I see the 1975 on a very small stage at Latitude some years ago, and they were decent, I’m sure they still sound great live BUT they’re just a bit meh. 
 

If the rumours are true of 1975 and OR, I don’t think I’d watch any of the pyramid headliners this year - our last visit was Elton, AM and GNR - which was much more our taste. 
 

Hoping for some of the The Prodigy, Basement Jaxx, Libertines, FBS, Biffy, on the other stages.
