Punktastic

[moshing]

Where is that other guy who had a mate who works for FR? Could do with some news from him.

[kaosmark2]

I'll have a go at some guesses.....

The Verve, last years british festival headliners.

The Prodigy, unlikely as they are headlining others so FR may do away with the exclusive english headliner rule.

Sex Pistols, do nicely as the Sunday and legendary headliner.

Madness, new album and British.

[moshing]

And at what point did I say that he didn't?

Also i've already got my ticket so obviously would like to know who I will be seeing. Blately i'm willing to wait but all i was merely suggesting was that the other guy may have some information that Neil is yet to recieve. Sorry for posting.

[phil123]

erm... sorry to cut in here just like to say Thanks to neil for the heads up. :angry: if your even half right thats good enough for me.

although l would like it to been:- Green day

KOL

AM.

But we'll just have to WAIT and see ...

Punktastic is usually right though.

Neil too, is usually right, but I remember you said late 2007 that two of the 08 headliners would be Kasabian and The Verve.

[MJMilz14]

Rage, Killers, Metallica.

[benisright]

difference is that late 2007 is about 4 months from the announcements, by my reckoning we about 8/9 weeks away. We (and Neil) tend to have a good incling by this time

I remember in late 2004 the 2005 headliner was going to be Eminem :angry:

I think in the next few weeks when the other festivals start to annouce bands and whittle it down, we should have a good guess at who the 3 headliners are.

Dont forget the NME issue where they "leek" all the headliners is released mid Feb, and in all fairness they are usually right with there headliners (if they do get the rest of the acts wrong *cough*hole*cough*)

[VCK]

I'm pretty sure it was more along the lines of "these are the first rumours, call me wrong sometime about april next year"

[luckysalt]

They're reporting this on kerrang radio this morning

[eFestivals]

Punktastic is usually right though.

if they're reporting Green Day, KOL, & AC/DC as the headliners they very definitely are not this time.

[-pogo-]

Let's not turn this into a punktastic v's efests who's more reliable.

Both are usualy very reliable. Guess we'll find out which ones are right when the announcement comes.

[dakyras]

Punktastic's shit. I hate Punktastic. Punktastic is for paedophiles.

I want to see how many other forums/websites we can get coming on here to slag off efests.

[rossg123]

No one has really mentioned Radiohead. Does anying think this is a realistic rumour?

Radiohead are the dream, but I'm not getting my hopes up at all.

Have you been going through the forum blindfolded lol? They have been talked about for ages and apparently were even signed at one point, but now it doesn't look good.

i never said 'signed'. I said they approached FR, and things were going ahead to get them signed up. And then apparently, they weren't.

[benisright]

[uNLIKELY]Right might sound a bit stupid but what do you reckon the chance of Glasto and Reading sharing a 4th headliner and by that i mean the Arctic Monkeys. It makes this prediction more realistic and means a KOL + AM night would please alot of people, they wouldnt be exclusive so they'd be cheaper especially if sharing with Glasto and would get to promote their album even more.

[/uNLIKELY]

PLEASE

[thejimbola]

arctic monkeys would never sub headline. Let it rest. Please.

To me its like saying, would ratm subheadline metallica. Arctic Monkeys and KoL are the kings of the nme crowd at the moment.

[moss265]

Metallica supported The Rolling Stones a few years ago in San Francisco, neither of these bands are in the same league as Metallica. I know Reading isn't exactly going to get that, but Arctic Monkeys are another band like the Strokes that will have their day and disappear. Unfortunately, the Strokes headlined, so Arctic Monkeys probably will too!
