Daft Punk/Green Day/Muse

[mooseman]

I don't think it's a ridiculous statement. Maybe never is a bit too strong, but I can't see a dance act headlining in the next ten to fifteen years.

And that is why the festival is shit, I want beastie boys, wu-tang clan, de la soul, the cure, soundgarden, no doubt, dinosaur jr, sonic youth, the pixies to play but at the same time I want artic monkeys, the libertines, arcade fire, the cribs and biffy clyo. I'm getting one half but not the other.

[mrtourette]

I'm sure someone will be here mention Glastonbury or Bestival pretty soon.

[luckysalt]

Does that mean the band he's got next year (as long as it isn't bullshit) might be Soundgarden and not Van Halen then?

[mooseman]

You couldn't find that any festival here though.

[mrtourette]

I know that but it doesn't stop people going on about Glasto or Bestival as if they're some sort of shining beacon. Bestival has good music but restricts itself to cool good music while Glasto has good indie and dance stuff but an immeasurable amount of shite.

[lucastang]

He hasn't got a band for next year yet. Why he says in that Kerrang video hes booked a headliner for next year and then ever since all he's done is deny it on twitter, says he's held talks but hasn't booked anyone for next year yet, seems to be a thing with Andy, he talks with bands and gets confident they're gunna play [like Im guessing with Soundgarden this year] then with nothing signed they pull out or play somewhere else

In 2009 he had Faith No More booked and he said it was an exclusive UK appearence, not because he'd signed them to that, but because they told him its the only show they planned to play, then they decided they wanted to play a London show as well, so he said its a warm up show so they're perfect for Download, but they're a festival exclusive, then Reading came calling and said hey, heres some cash, play our fest too, and Andy asked them not to do it, but didn't throw any money their way, so they did it.

He's done it again this year, he's booked a lot of artists and says it will be their only 'planned' appearence, so theres many an artist who could be booked to play elsewhere and he couldn't do anything about it, that extends to System of A Down even.

[jump]

So what you saying is that, for example, The Cure exclusive performance at Bestival may not be exclusive at all?

[mrtourette]

Yeah if Download say exclusive it probably isn't, if Bestival say it's exclusive it is, if R&L say it's exclusive then don't even bother trying to figure out what that means.

This could throw a spanner in the works.

P.S I'm not the tool who created this I just came across it.

[jump]

Ozzy vs Daft Punk is a 'orrid clash!

I know wikipedia is a terrible source but id just thought id bring it to attention of everyone that under the reading/leeds festival page it says muse/strokes/blur will be headlining 2011 festival.

List of headliners

* 2011: Muse, The Strokes, Blur

* 2010: Guns N' Roses, Arcade Fire, Blink-182

* 2009: Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead

[SoLoCo]

So, whos going to owe up to changing "Muse, The Stokes, Blur" to "Elton John, Take That, Rebecca Black" on Wikipedia?

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Im so foolish i might buy a weekend ticket on the basis daft punk or blur might actually be there. Either act justify this price easily. Trying to flog a ticket with mcr headlining will be a problem though...

[Role Model]

No it wont be, the tickets will be as easy to shift as always, even with MCR headlining.

[eFestivals]

Actually, Rob Da Bank said that Daft Punk have no UK booked gigs anywhere for the entire 2011.

he said something like that, then later he said something about them playing a festival "if you can call it a festival".

I don't know if he's said anything since then.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

He did make a remark about Soundgarden, but that could have been to try and throw off the scent that they were playing.
