What had eFestivals predicted at this time last year?

[addsend]

Did they have the headliners/subs guessed to a tee, or were they outright wrong with someone?

[therefused]

my chemical romance/arcade fire/blink 182 was the prediction.

Around this time last year i dont think Arcade fire were really mentioned, it was mainly blink, MCR and Green day.

If i remember correctly, this could have been earlier, i have a bad memory

I don't think anyone predicted Guns and Roses last year.

I remember someone coming along and saying it was Guns and Roses, The Libertines and Blink 182 but efestivals was saying arcade fire, which was correct.

[mrtourette]

Yeah someone said GNR but no AF, eFestivals had AF but no GNR. Everyone had Blink 182.

[eFestivals]

I don't think anyone predicted Guns and Roses last year.

yep, efestivals did - we had the three headliners as well as the Libs all correct by about a week before the announcement.

As far as I remember/am aware, efests was the only place that had them all right - mostly because so many refused to accept that AF would be a headliner.

[eFestivals]

my chemical romance/arcade fire/blink 182 was the prediction.

that's not quite what it was.

We said very certainly that it was AF and Blink. And then we said "And finally, the act we're least sure of but believe are the third headliner are My Chemical Romance.".

As I've just posted, about a week before the announcement we'd got all the right acts in the right slots for the top 4 acts.

That's correct - and in part, that helped efestivals pin down what the actual correct acts were.

I think Soundgarden were down as a rumour/strong rumour aswell.

[ArcadeMonkeys]

are there any headliners this year that Efests are unsure of? Or are Muse, Strokes and MCR all as equally likely as each other?

all of these names - and pulp - came at me all together, from two different sources who both have a proven history of having correct info.

If I'd have got those names off those people a couple of weeks before the announcement (rather than before xmas) then I'd have absolute belief in them. Because there's quite a long lead-in I have some minor doubts about them, but I believe they're far more likely to be right than wrong.

I remember him being very big-headed about it though, so hopefully not.

[mrtourette]

Yeah keese46, I just checked. Doesn't ring a bell so I'm probably thinking of some randon person just running their mouth off. Keese still got it wrong about Arcade Fire though.

[eFestivals]

you must be pretty confident as you've actually named the days that they will be headlining.

If the info on the bands is right, then the day info I had along with it is likely to be right too.
