Optimus Alive 12

[pryce]

Simian Mobile Disco added to T in the Park

must be odds on for Optimus?

[ohduarte]

Limp Bizkit/Smashing Pumpkins/Offspring/Linkin Park all playing Rock in Rio end of May so rule them out, if they were ruled in in the first place

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Smashing Pumpkins would have been nice, hopefully they're playing a better setlist now than when I saw them last Nov.

[ohduarte]

SBTRKT is such a good announcement, just hope he plays later on in the night so doesnt clash with Caribou or Radiohead

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

where did you see them last november? I saw them in Birmingham and thought they were incredible ... and also loved the setlist

[pryce]

yeah only us and london got tonight tonight .... so was happy with that

and Starla too start with was amazing

100 times better than ther headline set at Leeds 07

i have a horrible feeling LMFAO have been confirmed

[dougal1]

correct, ughh

[chewbacca]

i bought my ticket yesterday, this happens today. i kinda feel that its my fault, i am really sorry, guys!!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

& just when I thought the announcements where going in the right direction, eurgh. I have a horrible feeling LMFAO are going to be supporting Madonna as well, so I may end up having the misfortune of seeing them twice.

[Homer]

I didn't know what you were talking about then Googled it and was shocked to discover I know it somehow (I blame being subjected to Kiss FM in the gym - I realised I was more au fauit with Rihanna than I have any right to be during the Brits too!).

[Homer]

I'm guessing they're supposed to be funny... right?!

[chewbacca]

so thats the heavier rock act we expected on the friday on the second stage

well, i dont really care, i wanna see the stone roses and justice

[pryce]

i really hope that if there is to be a bigger band announced to play before Radiohead then its a bloody good one

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

My money's on Bloc Party to play before Radiohead.

Also, as they seem to be going for a few pop acts on the second stage this year, I could see Nicki Minaj playing on one of the dates? She's in Europe in the summer & has a lot of free time between Wireless/T in the Park & V Fest.

[Homer]

Surely there will be, as there's not a band on on the Sun to touch the size of Snow Patrol or Flo and the Mo (or even Justice for that matter).

was really hoping for ATDI to headline 2nd stage on friday, but now LMFAO playing i doubt the two would make a good mix...

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Warpaint added, that's a better announcement for sure!

[pryce]

Warpaint announced

2nd stage sunday

lmfao were obviously a leak so announced early

[pryce]

i think with the 2nd stage nearly full and no obvious dance acts that will play early on monday morning ... that a big dance act will play after Radiohead?

[DJL]

So having searched LMFAO it would appear they are an updated Right Said Fred? Excellent, that's just what the line-up was lacking.

...though warpaint is a lot more like it. The heineken stage is looking really good for the sunday (bar when radiohead is on) which makes me more confident of decent acts to be added there on friday and saturday.
