Flaming Lips aren't big enough for headiner, surely? Playing alexandra palace that day as well!

Though you're right about Arcade Fire:-)

Flaming Lips have headlined Wireless before. Not sure if that makes them more or less likely.

[Bort]

I think the Flaming Lips playing Alexandra Palace on Friday makes them unlikely. Unless they want to play before Pulp on Sunday.

Could Beyonce headline?

My thinking is that if she's in the UK for Glasto the week before as rumoured, she could do what Jay-Z did in '08, and stay for Wireless to pick up the funds.

Nicki Minaj was in London this week, same week as Wireless said they've agreed some very special acts. Both would appeal to the urban element which seems to have developed at Wireless.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

but an announcement of who???

[Bort]

I'd probably go if that turns out to be true, altho might be pushing it with foos the next day & arcade fire 2 days before...

[Bort]

Any rumours as to what the other Sunday acts might be?

[Createur]

Wireless will announce the remaining two headliners on Monday. Any strong rumours for this?

Summer Shows of Daft Punk in Europe 2011? I believe the rumour will die on Monday, unfortunately...

One strong rumour:

[Createur]

Someone on facebook has written that according to ticketmaster uk the remaining headliners are Black Eyed Peas and The Chemical Brothers. What a huge letdown. No Daft Punk

[zeppelin]

Chemical Brothers will be amazing!

But I'll probably just wait til they tour (Brixton!!!)

One note though, the rumours have them down as (DJ Set), surely if they headline it'd be live?!

So much for Eminem and Daft Punk. What a wholly uninspiring set of headliners.

Quite happy with The Black Eyed Peas myself. Granted, their new stuff isn't as good as their previous material but they're great live!

I've already got my ticket for the Pulp day, hopefully an announcement will come soon about Sunday...

[efcfanwirral]

Those people on that Wireless Facebook page both amuse and astound me. Quote from the other day " you have a very lazy attitude to this page, it is NOW feb 2nd & i can tell you have lost ALOT of customers. your lack of information is BEYOND! belief. makes the majority of us on this page VERRRRY SUSPICIOUS.... DO SOMETHING NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

You can tell this is a festival aimed at the "masses"....

[Kowalski]

Apart from Pulp, the rest is balls.

How long do the headliners play for? Now that Pulp look to be subbing for Beyonce at Glasto, I'm hoping for something a bit more substantial than an hour!
