No Hot Chip, No Faithless, No Groove Armada

[RVM1989]

Within a big announcement imminent, i'm sensing something very possitive from our man Jim King.

Primal Scream? Klaxons?

[Kowalski]

Klaxons?

I think it's very unlikely to be Primal Scream.

[Kyelo]

Pendulum on Friday, who is the other confirmed headliner?

[RVM1989]

Klaxons was just a wild wild guess.

Im sure in the last Q & A Jim said one of the Clash headliners was already announced so it's either club 75 or Ian Brown. Then Pendlum on Friday.

I really have no idea as to who the 3rd one will be. As I said, Klaxons and Primal were both wild guesses.

[RVM1989]

Ian Brown then?

Seems to be a pattern where on the night if the Mainstage is a dance act then the clash will be a more indie/rock act vice versa.

So i'm lost for ideas regarding Sunday's clash headliner.

The third headliner is yet to be announced.

From Jim King Q&As

Sunday will be a dance act that is unnanounced I reckon. Who is left that is big enough?

[stu150]

Depeche Mode, Duran Duran (really digging the back of my brain now!)

[Kyelo]

Kraftwerk, Massive Attack and Simian are the only ones there I reckon have any chance.

[RVM1989]

Kraftwerk or Massive Attack could be a good shout looking the relation between 2009/10 headliners between Rock Ness and Bestival. Aphex Twin? Or has he already been ruled out?

[Grant titp]

Simian Mobile Disco

[Aberdeen83]

Simian Mobile Disco

[Kyelo]

I hope not and wouldnt say they'd be good headliners

Etienne De Crecy for me with the cube

[Aberdeen83]

It's all about size though, and Simian are big enough.

[Kyelo]

I don't think they are big enough to headline any festival

[Aberdeen83]

Agree with any of those three, Massive Attack are great live, Aphex Twin is a bit of a tricky fish to catch, he tours everywhere and nowhere.

Also his sets are a bit off the wall music wise, dont expect "window licker" etc to be played. He really does his own thing regardless if the crowd vibe off him or not.

I saw him at Oxegen two years back and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed it, his set went over most peoples heads as it wasnt so much dance, more like static, breaks, clicks and white noise, crazy shit indeed.

[FannyBaws]

Etienne De Crecy for me with the cube

[Window Licker]

Aphex Twin is pretty cool but as you say an aquired taste and probably wouldn't go down that well

[blackg1000]

Wouldn't go down well at all mate, he's got some great main stream tunes but unfortunately thats not what his sets are about, quite frankly he doesn't give a f**k and makes no qualms about that.

The mans a legend but a very acquired taste indeed.

aphex twin at T was amazing and would happily do it again. and the visuals were f**ked up! loads of people in the slam tent didnt quite know what was going on

[rachbon]

i really hope it's a dance act and not an indie band. i have no idea will it will be, i thought groove aramda were a slight possibility but obviously not happening now that they're playing T.

[Kyelo]

It's got to be a dance act to clash with The Strokes.

Simian Mobile Disco

Massive Attack

Kraftwerk

Apex Twin

Anymore?
