Franz Ferdinand

[theloveofmusic1]

possible sub to muse or strokes, not sure about Pulp anymore (playing every single festival) and not sure who would sub muse, thoughts?

[Vacant0]

Err... as rumoured, Elbow could sub Muse.

Are Franz Ferdinand doing anything this year? Album wise? Tour wise?

[allan14]

they have not done anything for a while now so doubt it

[Bisque]

Would they take a sub spot after headlining?

I can see franz ferdinand playing 2nd at a major push, 3rd or headlining the tent more realistically. The third album didn't do that well, pretty sure their tour of academies took ages to sell out (If it even did?). Fact is that from the 2004 boom of indie bands some have become megastars like the killers and Kasabian (despite it taking them ages to work their way up the ladder), and others e.g. razorlight, franz seem to have fallen from grace quite a bit.

I like Franz Ferdinand but the top of the bill is already filling up with indie-friendly bands, I'd like to see some of the slots that Franz would play go to heavier or non-indie bands (and by heavy I don't mean 30STM or Lost Prophets).

I'd love to see Franz back, I think they could headline the NME if they played. I know they've headlined the Main Stage before but they certainly aren't as big anymore and I don't see them as the kind of act to complain about their placing.

Yeh love the Franz, Im just hoping for bands such as this!
