OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[Hawky]

Jungle are good.

[Hawky]

Sohn is tolerable

[Hawky]

Nina Kravis is the best announced.

[Anderson19]

Jungle are one of the newer acts I wanted to catch this summer so I'm happy with them, tolerable just about a sums up sohn very forgettable music.

Not heard much or anything infact from Nina Kravis although the name sounds familiar.

Anyone know if we have any chance of getting Lorde this summer..?

[Dom Wall]

Nina Kraviz probably sounds similar cos of Lenny...

Not sure on Lorde, not a lot of dates announced for the summer yet..

[SagitarianWorld]

Lorde is booked to Rock in Rio (May 31st), so no chance of playing in Optimus Alive.

[Hawky]

Lorde is at rock in lisboa

[Hawky]

Ill catch Jungle at Leeds Fest

[Dom Wall]

Forgot about Lorde being at Rock In Lisboa, gutted to miss her..

[Anderson19]

Im hoping she gets added to Glasto or at least adds some more UK dates other than that Brixton one.

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, reckon there'll be a big (ish) tour later in the year..

[Anderson19]

Just listening to Chris Martin on Radio 1.

When asked about playing more gigs after the 6 small shows already announced he said not for the time being, and said due to the nature of the album he feels they would be underselling fans touring it straight away and in big venues i think is what he was getting at.

Saying that though they are playing Big Weekend haha but that one is different isn't it everyone just plays it when asked to make sure R1 never stop loving them.

Maybe we can rule them out for now, doesn't seem that they will be going straight out to European Festivals with the record but who knows.

[Hawky]

That's it now for another 3weeks

[SagitarianWorld]

Cat Power was announced today for SuperBock SuperRock.

[Dom Wall]

Jamie XX (and friends) playing clubbing stage on 10th July!

[Anderson19]

Jamie XX (and friends) playing clubbing stage on 10th July!

Good news, really like his stuff.

[Anderson19]

Do we think the acts are all already booked up and just not confirmed i mean in previous years we have had much more of the line up by now and usually all 3 headliners by January.

If they are booked just get it announced and increase ticket sales.

Maybe they are just booking them week by week & only just go off the phone to Jamie XX this morning

EDIT: Futures Islands added to Latitude week after Optimus, really hoping we get these!

[SagitarianWorld]

I have a feeling that friday the 2nd the headliner will be announced.

[HarryP95]

Tomorrow i reckon for the headliner, i think 1st of may headliner announcement has a nice ring to it, however you could of said that about the 1st of January, February, March and April hahaha

[Placid Casual 1927]

Who are Jamie XXs friends?

[Anderson19]

Royal Blood & Jagwar ma added to Open'er the weekend before already sharing a few with these hope we get these 2.

[HarryP95]

When is the glastonbury announcement? if the same as glastonbury theory is true we'd surely find out then?

[Anderson19]

Glastonbury isn't really known, it's in may but when in maybes anyone guess it could be tomorrow some people think it needs to be 6 weeks before Metallica can be announced because of contract issue which would mean mid June that's providing they announce 3rd headliner at same time as rest of line up which I assume they will.

[Dom Wall]

Jamie XX friends are probably similar to the DJs that played the big XX shows last summer..

Would love Royal Blood to be there, would rather Metallica didn't headline though!

[Anderson19]

Think Metallica are ruled out at another festival the Saturday night. So that's good!
