Bloc Party

[jonodillieono]

Nothing mentioned tonight, was an amazing set and i hope they come.

[thewayiam]

Oh they have fallen a LOT more than Kaisers

[The Placid Casual]

i think the only band that have fallen more than the kaiser's are viva brother who aren't here anymore.

Had they not been from Leeds, i don't think they'd have been offered 3rd spot last year.

I posted it a while ago and another guy the other day, but i very much agree that jp headers arctics day at glasto isn't improbable

[Muppetmark]

Looking at that stage from tonight (on youtube) I reckon they'll be in with a chance of playing.

Yes that sounds like a pathetic reason but it's a brand new stage so they're going to want to play a fair few gigs with it to get their moneys worth (I doubt they've made it just for a one off gig)

You are wrong...

About a lot of things

I think subbing would be a push for them now

Can see them working as 3rd though

[thewayiam]

While I agree with you on them being only offered 3rd because of the Leeds connection; if you think only one band has fallen in popularity more than Kaiser Chiefs, from subbing main to playing third on main, then you only know two bands.

No mate, naturally it was said in jest, but Bloc Party have not dropped as much. They sold out Earl's Court which is fairly large, I don't see Kaiser's doing that. They struggled with Norwich UEA and slightly bigger Academies

The one I'm wondering about is Plan B. Not announced yet but expected to be for RockNess, no other Uk date announced, very much up there for a Glasto possible sub slot this year and if he's not announced for V Festival on Monday, which would be two sub slots in 3 years, I don't think it's a far off bet for Biffy Clyro sub. He sells tickets and it's the crossover of fans unfortunately that would be into Eminem as well.

Kaiser played 3rd at Vfest the year before and have currenly have sold out places like Brixton comparing them to Viva Brother (a nothing band even in their peak) is fucking retarded.

Just like both of their last two album efforts

[Com Truise]

I think they'd need to sub Eminem, book them under a huge act there. Going under Biffy would make that top two look very weak. I'd happily see Bloc Party but Biffy, Bloc Party and FOB - You'd have to really love that top 3 to by a £80 ticket.

[Zzzonked]

Say what you like about kaiser chiefs but I thought they put on a really good performance at reading

[thewayiam]

Funnily enough, me and my all my friends really would love that top 3. I think amongst 15-20 year olds, that top 3 could shift A LOT of day tickets.

Although I would rather Bloc Party sub to Eminem

[Com Truise]

Thing thing is, would you and your friends also favour it as much if The Prodigy were subbing Biffy Clyro?

[thewayiam]

If the Prodigy subbed Biffy it would be just as good, big fans of The Prodigy infact, and if Bloc Party then subbed Eminem too, that would be a pretty amazing lineup in our eyes

[dentalplan]

of course, V fest could announce The Prodigy on Monday morning, but then T haven't announced them either and I see no reason or finishing tour dates for them not to. That said, there may be more factors than but I will say, if V Fest don't have them, it does make R&L more likely.

I do think R&L should grab them though if they can this year as IOW I think with a new album will be right after them and will give them headline as they usually do so R&L would need to as well. IOW would let them still play Glasto and T radio 1 stage.

[thewayiam]

Sorry but there is absolutely NO CHANCE they will get announced on Monday morning...

Because the announcement is at 9pm

I was actually thinking this too earlier when hearing about the V Fest leak, enough to forego the Kerrang interview thing and have them as my bet to headline (until the next slither of info).

I've been agreeing with you a lot the last couple of days. I think I might also be Gazza.

It's 8pm.

UPDATE: Line-up announcement will now be at 8PM on Monday!
