'The relief you felt when Florence wasn't announced' thread

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Today's announcement of New Order as headliners was a tiny, tiny, tiny bit anti-climactic for me. Great band, great history, looking forward to seeing them again, but it wasn't a surprise and I think announcing the bands last week has made it feel somehow less special.

...but I have to say, thank GOD they haven't announced Florence + The Machine...

...Yet.

Am sure Florence is the Friday headliner and I for one am looking forward to seeing her. Love the new album

I'm glad, but I'm really thinking she's for Friday. I'm hoping Rob tells us that she isn't.

Sunday headliner is still a mystery.

[Paul ™]

Boo! Hiss!

[Kowalski]

Did Rob not say that he'd booked two legendary headliners or have I made that up? I remember something a month or two ago.

It would be, considering that slot ain't booked yet

Oh, sorry for you. I didn't realise that you had hearing problems that bad.

Don't suppose you've heard any rumours of her summer plans which would put her out of running?

Nope, zilch as yet.

[Homer]

Nope, zilch as yet.

I'd take Florence's out of tune caterwauling over some dreary, white boy nonsense like Radiohead any day. She can't sing, but at least she'd bring a few costume changes.

So, i reckon the other 2 headliners may, or may not, involve 2 of the following:

Dr Dre

Florence

Pulp

Dolly

Pixies

Elton

Chose your favourites wisely, kids.

I'm glad to say that I think there's absolutely no chance in the world of Elton John ever headlining a UK festival (well, perhaps he'd do Glastonbury). And Dolly Parton at Bestival would be be some pleasant afternoon entertainment, not a headliner surely?
