Is HRC still due to announce tomorrow

Is HRC still due to announce tomorrow

i believe so.

I'm hearing that one of the headline acts - but an act who isn't the stones - is a british band. More than that I can't tell you.

[the wonderwhy]

Arctics are free.

I remember there was some debate as to whether HRC would go for them though.

Is it only two days this year?

[zahidf]

I reckon Mumford and sons

sure it's not the arctics, pretty sure it is the stones.

Live Nation have set up an AC/Dc community page with forums (the link goes to some Fedora page) that's not live yet:

Looks like it's genuine, and AC/DC did an album called 'It's Only Rock N Roll' waaay back in 1976

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

AC/DC & the Stones would be HUGE. Surely cost a bomb as well though.

Bruce Springsteen and Kasabian!!! Really??

[jr1312]

Is it just me or is the BBC link not working anymore? Been pulled?

[Gravyshambles]

Bruce again?

[5co77ie]

That was The Rolling Stones.

Earlier than this you said, it's an act that isn't the stones but still british

I said that for one of the headliners, for the headliner which isn't (who I thought would be) the stones.

And I was right - Kasabian.

Pulled.

while I can't be 100% sure at this point, I have good reason to believe that the BBC published early, but not wrongly.

Bruce and Kasabian then?

Mr. Neil eFestivals - Britain's Biggest Bluffer. Nice.

If you read back on my comments with that explanation in mind, you can clearly see that's what I meant.

Someone who I know knows what is being announced mailed me this morning to say/tease me that they knew one of the headliners - a headliner who wasn't the Stones - and that they were British.

With the announcement less than a day away it's not something I'd put any thought into trying to work out or get more info for, so I simply passed on what I knew - which is precisely why I posted.....

I'm hearing that one of the headline acts - but an act who isn't the stones - is a british band. More than that I can't tell you.

But yeah, by chance I guessed that, and I'm bluffing.

Why was the announcement also pulled from the Efestivals site?

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/13/130304c.shtml

because if the BBC had pulled it - and our article was referencing their article - then we were about to come under extreme pressure ourselves to pull it.

For something which is less than a day away from announcement and where we didn't have our own source it's not worth pissing off an event for. So we simply did what we'd end up doing anyway, before we were asked.
