Lineup 2015

[#FreeComTruise]

What's escrow? And thanks for the tip on the app

I think the money goes to a third party, and I assume they hold it til after the event to ensure you actually received tickets and weren't scammed

Also, are we doing a "Best of 2014 awards" thing?

[Yellow_Fellow]

Yeah it's done via Paypal to the Dingo guys I think, then when you send them proof (tracking number, photo of exchange etc) then money is released

[the wonderwhy]

Kasabian, best of everything 2k14.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I dunno if it's been mentioned already or whether it's been confirmed or not, but on Metallica's site it say they are playing the Saturday at Reading, is it correct?

yes

[giantwagon]

Biffy, best of everything ever.

efa

[Amy Lawn]

You're colleague is telling porkies, The Simpsons ride replaced Back To The Future, E.T is still going strong.

I must apologise, I have mis-remembered, she did say Back To The Future. Sorry to keep derailing the thread with this, but I just couldn't allow myself to have unwittingly defamed a totally anonymous and untraceable woman on the internet, it's just not my style and I couldn't live with the guilt.

No I'm pretty sure this is the most on-topic it's been in a long while.

Could Linkin Park sub Metallica? I mean it's not unheard of for a Download headliner to sub at R+L and they'll likely be without a UK festival date next year if they don't, as I don't reckon they'd both headline. Looking at the Las Vegas Rock in Rio bill made me think of it as they're subbing them there so they might not be a band who demands headline slots everywhere - though I don't know about here in Europe.

don't make that argument - people here HATE it when you suggest LP aren't an out and out headliner

(it's entirely plausible)

That'd be a surefire way for R&L to ruin a decent headliner so yeah, they probably will.

See also: The Cure and QOTSA.

Oh it was Paramore both times. Of course.

I don't think I've ever heard it mentioned, except when somebody suggested 30STM/Linkin Park coheadline bc they coheadlined a tour in the US. But now I mention that it might just be a US thing. Might be able to pull it off anyway but the other subs would have to be Jamie T and Neck Deep.

I mentioned it like 2 months ago and was MILITANTLY SHUT DOWN

[Gucci Piggy]

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

There's quite a few bands that headline elsewhere (Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, Slipknot) that I think would sub under Metallica just because it's Metallica.

I know, like how people here hated it when it was suggested SOAD weren't an out and out headliner.

I don't recall anyone hating that (assuming anyone is me), in fact I think I was in agreement - my argument was that they weren't completely limited to a sub position

[Asdaprice]

It's an interesting theory, but I think unlikely. There's a difference between system who were on the end of a reunion hype tour and had already headlined festivals at the beginning of it and Linkin park who are still charting successfully with new albums. Not impossible, but I would think that would be unlikely.

Its possible to be fair, but I think Linkin Park may allow their egos to get in the way and question why theyd sub Metallica when they've already headlined alongside them in 2003.

I know it will have been 12 years but egos don't always dwindle over time.

The Libertines

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Courteeners

Metallica

The Smashing Pumpkins

Weezer

There's an interview somewhere about how they wanted to play Glasto for free and not even as headliners so they don't seem to be headliner or nothing type band.

The difference here lies in that the band might wanna play where they want and not have egos about it but the management might prefer the bigger headline deals instead.

I think it's more to do with apart from RAWK fests no one else is intrested in having them on their bill headline or not.

My take on it is if they are gonna play R&L this year then it will be as headliners.

[GodlikeYeezus]

What about HAIM?

Edit: Haven't seen them around much in this thread and if they tour again surely they will return

If they are toruing in the late summer they could end up at V or R&L. They don't really get mentioned as most people on here aren't fans.
