Lineup 2015

[DGrant261]

I don't think a headline slot for the Libs would make R&L look weak, there will be loads of Libs fans that wouldn't have got near Glasto tickets. The Strokes/Blink-182 booking lower down the T bill in 2011 didn't make the R&L line ups of 2010/2011seem any weaker in my opinion so I don't think Glasto will impact on the strength of a Libs headline slot.

They'll headline R/L and T + do a secret set at Glasto, I think

[DomDom1984]

The Libertines were a REALLY strong sub behind Arcade Fire. I remember wondering if they got the two bands the right way around, even though I dislike them a fair bit.

This is so messed up

[ToeJaylor]

Yeah but, for instance, he could be wanting to see a full Libertines set in the dark with a proper stage show, and if he doesn't get to see that, he'd like that slot to go to another good band he'd enjoy rather than Mumford and Sons.

Same with QOTSA last year, I'd have wanted to see them headline, or, if not, sub to someone good. If either of those situations happened I'd have gone. In the end they subbed Paramore at Leeds so I didn't go.

This is what I meant, if Libs sub M&S (for example) and then there's no other good alternatives then my only choices are watch Mumford and Sons so Id rather watch someone I enjoy

[ToeJaylor]

Oh and I know it doesn't really affect Leeds except for undercard artists by there's a V festival announcement on Zane Lowe's radio show at 7 if anyone's interested

[DomDom1984]

It's a T announcement.

[dentalplan]

Surely them playing Glastonbury has little effect for R&L. Glastonbury has already sold out so libs fans cant get tickets for that.

If I was Melvin I would rarther have Libs sub Glasto and headline Leeds then have them play T and Leeds.

Well I don't think they've ever shared an act who's headlining either (unless you choose to count Pulp's secret Glastonbury set) so I think there's a good chance it's something they consider rather than just coincidence. R+L do want to sell tickets to people who have are off to Glastonbury as well.

T have historically not had to worry much about exclusivity as the English fests just seem to want to edge each other out rather than get the whole UK exclusive.

Shit yeah that's what I meant -.-

[DomDom1984]

Aye. My Chemical Romance played third from the top at T and headlined Reading and Leeds. There's no real effect there.

I thought it was a wild life announcement on zane lowe at 7

[DomDom1984]

My Chemical Brothers? Clearly I'm a bit too hopeful tonight for one certain dance act.

[Gucci Piggy]

Aye. My Chemical Romance played third from the top at T and headlined Reading and Leeds. There's no real effect there.

Damn you got your edit in just as I was quoting

[Andre91]

This is so messed up

Its a great cover, and I don't even like them.

Edited January 29, 2015 by Andre91

[Yellow_Fellow]

It IS a great cover

[supreme]

Libs it is

[ToeJaylor]

Libs headlining T

[Andre91]

It IS a great cover

Yeah, alright. It IS. I apologise for spellchecker.

[Gucci Piggy]

Will that affect whether it'll be Libs announced on Monday? Would seem a lil boring. Although was it the same with AM last year? Announced for T the week before R&L.

[Gucci Piggy]

Anyway, will defo be headlining rather than subbing now.

[ToeJaylor]

I'm sure AM were announced as the first headliner for T and then got announced for Leeds. Like the two announcements followed each other, so yeah I think it'll be Libs on monday

AM were announced for T in the middle of November, can't remember when they were announced for R&L but it was later than that wasn't it?

[mrtourette]

Surely them playing Glastonbury has little effect for R&L. Glastonbury has already sold out so libs fans cant get tickets for that.

If I was Melvin I would rarther have Libs sub Glasto and headline Leeds then have them play T and Leeds.

And yet how many R&L headliners have played Glasto in the same year? This list isn't spectacularly long.

It might happen this year, but saying "surely it has little effect" is a bit presumptuous.
