irons Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 You've never heard of The Flaming Lips? Only seen them once, but they're a very, very, good live band. The Flaming Lips are on most peoples highly sought after bands at any festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbear Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Brodinski, Erol Alkan and Zane lowe should be decent. The flaming lips are a great headline band though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoubleDex Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 BRILLIANT! Ed Banger hopefully as next announcement then weekend is well on way to being sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) They've never had any huge hits, they're not that type of band. If you can grab an album, I'd say 'Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots' is as good as any. Edited February 14, 2009 by Kowalski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 The Soft Bulletin is one of the greatest albums of all time. You should be counting yourselves lucky that you have one of the best bands on the planet headlining. They have such a huge sound which at times sounds almost orchestral and they take anthemic to a new level. They'll have you singing along even if you don't know the songs. Plus they did the greatest cover of Bohemian Rhapsody EVER: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasabianite Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Flaming Lips are sensational live, they are perfect for headlining the Friday night. All in i think this is a very encouraging announcement, they are clearly thinking outside the box a bit rather than just booking the same bands as every other year...a la Titp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-Rob Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Flaming Lips surely deserve to headline. People should be glad that it's The Flaming Lips not the Enemy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyelo Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Good announcment, The Flaming Lips are a brilliant live band. Great fun, Crookers is the one for me though! Fecking ace! The Wombats I will be going nowhere near, I might even hire a hit man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg1999 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 f**king chuffed about crookers & brodinski. i'm happy with the announcement. i was going whatever the line up anyway but this just makes it better. can't see why there's complaints, flaming lips are supposed to be shit hot live, and wombats were good when i watched 'em. roll on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbear Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) As far as dance acts go, im not that impressed with the announcements so far. Brodinski,Crookers and Erol Alkan are decent, but i think more needs to be added in that field. I am happy with Supper Furry Animals, so it should be good all around Edited February 14, 2009 by Festie--Follower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
