OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[Hawky]

The Glasto/'Tallica announcement is imminent...

Jamie XX is class. Well looking forward to him. Hopefully Gill-Scott Heron is one of his friends...

[Dom Wall]

Phew! I know they're massive and everything, but just not my style...haha!

JAMIE XX, FLOATING POINTS, BENJI B, KORELESS (LIVE), SAMPHA

That was his created DJ lineup at the XX show in London, probably similar to that. Sampha could well be there with SBTRKT being there too.

[Hawky]

We will have to see. I reckon like you're right though, Sampha will be there because of SBTRKT.

[Anderson19]

My tickets came the other week, just bog standard seetickets they were much nicer before.

Looks like Sampha will be there then..? I imagine he will be pretty dull live.

[SagitarianWorld]

I wonder if this awful wait for a headliner isn't afterall just financial problems.

[HarryP95]

It is really starting to get beyond a joke now, I don't think they have anyone booked and we will end up with some shiter like calvin harris

Well at least we know it won't be Calvin Harris as he's otherwise engaged on the Saturday. So glad I chose the flight to Lisbon over the 30min drive to Kinross!

[ljb1995]

With such a short amount of time it seems strange that the final headliner and more acts haven't been announced yet... I hoep they dont settle for a poor headliner...

[pship7]

Keep the faith people, at least until Beni announce the rest of their's that is...

[ljb1995]

I would have really liked to see Kasabian as the 3rd headliner.. even though they are doing another portugual date on the 19th could it be possible? with a few portugal gigs inbetween... although it would have already been announced, can always hope

[SagitarianWorld]

More likely to be Manic Street Preachers or Florence. Kasabian is impossible.

[ljb1995]

How disappointing.. Just had to take that tiny piece of hope away didn't you?haha... Still looking forward to the rest of the line up eventually being released

[SagitarianWorld]

Apparently Kodaline will be added soon...

*

How about Daft Punk as the third headliner?

[Anderson19]

Kodaline would be alright not spectacular but solid enough.

Daft Punk.. Not sure just don't seem to do much at all do they I mean have they even played more than a handful of shows since releasing the latest album.?

As much as id like them I'm not sure it'll happen.

[HarryP95]

I reckon they will just bump someone up at this point

[Anderson19]

It'd be a major kop out if they did no one else on the line up is headline material at present.

I've given up guessing who it will be mind

[Millar95]

It'll be RHCP, they are clearly waiting to announce European dates, which feels very odd to me!

[Dom Wall]

From the Saturday there's no one of 'bump up' standard really...Foster the People are the biggest name on the poster!

[Hawky]

Like I've been saying all along... RHCP ARE YET TO ANNOUNCE EURO DATES.

THERE IS STILL HOPE.

[HarryP95]

we are going on a favourited tweet it is just a proper piss take, I have resorted to abusing the optimus twitter feed in hope they will tell me to fuck off and that the headliner is coming tomorrow or something haha. Why would a band want to leave the announcement till now i don't get it.

[Millar95]

Beni, Optimus Alive and Open'er festival all still have headliners to announce so I think that's where RHCP are coming in personally. I think they may be waiting to announce other dates with an announcement of a new album or single, but maybe I'm just clutching at straws!

Opener is probably finished with headliners according to people on polish forums they bumped Phoenix to headliner on new billboards.

Oh really? Crap! That's put a spanner in the works:/

We aren't going on a favourited tweet. I am going on the fact they're only UK exclusive at IOW. If they weren't playing any EU festivals, IOW would have billed them as European Exclusive.

[Hawky]

Phoenix have always been headlining Opener haven't they.
