eFestivals Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ok T in the park facebook page is promoing the Killers latest tour and their date at the SECC. To me that is kind of a hint that they are headlining next year. No one advertises anything for free.... DF are promoting their Scottish shows. That could be all there is to it.

thetime Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 KIllers could be the festival whores next year, dipping there toe in for v this year and then all out assault for reading/leeds/titp/iow next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokeybumwanker Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Suppose but using the T fb page is still a bit iffy it's already a strong rumour that the killers will headline so this will only fuel it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza_20 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 slight change in NME headers (just thinking what they would be better against imo) The Killers Mumford The Prodigy Lady GaGa Paulo Nutini The Black Keys Green Day Biffy Clyro The Chemical Brothers Your right on the Green Day set length, they got atleast 2 hours the last time they played (it was definately still sunny when they started) pretty sure they wanted Travis on before them as well, or so the papers went (were big fans of them aparently) so they might be 4th/5th down that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilman Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Billy Talent are good. Plan B has talent but isn't my bag. The rest are blow goats. if T book all of them not only would I not go I would also sell up and move to Wrexham or somewhere equally depressing, such is the shame of what our once great festival has become.

Chiefski Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 It very well could possibly be that mate and Yes Travis is a good possibility I guess further down that day. I'd say 4th is probable as it'll feature at least one less band so they could play in a 4th where maybe another day it might be 5th, either way it's cool. But I'd see all the headers on main and subs except for Nutini I think. You reckon QOTSA have got a good chance of being under The Prodigy or The Chem Bro's. I think T tends to have a different style sub NME to headline NME. Dizzee 3rd under Paulo maybe? Bloc Party 3rd under Mumford? and Edit Love to see Billy Talent back too and with a new album I reckon chances are quite high. Could also see Plan B back, Vampire Weekend getting a high spot. The View back. If they get the right mix could be a really good lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I can see them doing T and R&L but they won't do R&L and IOW unless they aren't headliners at one of them, which is very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Do iow and r&l never share headliners, not looked closely so no idea. They could be doing the early summer festivals then iow/glastonbury/titp. Edited September 6, 2012 by jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Pulp co-headlined with Foos? I find that hard to believe, is that official or just something someone said to make it sound more important (a lot of the press seem to use "a headline performance" very liberally nowadays). Certainly don't recall the Foos being tagged as co-headliners. Edited September 6, 2012 by mrtourette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eFestivals Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Pulp co-headlined with Foos? no, with The Strokes. Last year. That's why he says "Pulp last year". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrtourette Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) He think he meant they co-headline with Foos at IOW. At the time I remember them being tagged as co-headliners as it was causing loads of arguements in the R&L section but it one of those things where they throw that label out to applease the acts.

jump Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Sounds fishy to me, they definitely co-headlined R&L but then that's easy to identify at a multi-site festival as they swapped round with The Strokes. Not really sure about IOW, like you say it's something that gets thrown around to appease artists or make the occasion sound bigger. Co-headlining at single events seems pointless because at the end of the day only one of them can top the bill no matter what you call it. I wouldn't be surprised if the word "headline" was used around Pulp without actually confirming them as headliners just to suggest something special, while the word "co-headline" was probably never used anywhere near the Foos.

Chiefski Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 From the looks of The Killers shows on sale today the two Scottish shows sold out very quickly so the demand is still there, would say they are a given Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryomatic Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My mum asked me to buy tickets 3 tickets for the Aberdeen show this morning, once fees and postage was paid, it cost £147!
