OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[willjill]

Where's everyone planning on watching the World Cup final? Heard there's going to be a couple of big screens in the centre.

That I can answer - I won't be watching haha!

[HarryP95]

Depends who is on, if England make it i will be going to a British bar but If Portugal are in any games whilst i am there i will be watching it on the big screens with the locals if i can find them, the atmosphere will be brilliant. Anyone else just a random bar probably, If the 3rd place playoff sounds a better prospect of waiting 3 hours for Prince to play When doves cry i will be there for sure

[dddazed]

The World Cup final is on Sunday 13th isn't it? It won't disturb OA at all...

[HarryP95]

3rd place playoffs are on the last night, and if prince is on that could be an option, i can't handle 3 hours of bands i like at times, never mind prince haha

[rmuscat18]

Me and my mates will be driving to Seville after the festival... hopefully Spain will be in the final

[willjill]

What time are the headliners likely to play?

[SagitarianWorld]

And suddenly there's a big buzz around a Pink Floyd reunion tour. Could it be?

[Anderson19]

Im just hoping portugal make the final imagine atmosphere in the city, flares galore, did you see the benfica celebrations a few weeks back.

As for England theres no danger of us making it that far.

Screens in the centre would be good.

[Dom Wall]

Portugal in the final would be amazing, might even have to buy a shirt for that! haha.

[markmarkmark]

Yeah Libertines are at Beni

[carlmcg]

What time are the headliners likely to play?

Midnight, roughly.

[Dom Wall]

seems the Floyd announcement is a re-issue:

[HarryP95]

I reckon if nobody has been booked we get Libertines as like a panic buy hahaha but if someone has been booked it is the purple one, it is between these two now, a pint to anyone who correctly identifies me at optimus if i am wrong haha

[Placid Casual 1927]

Libertines would be mega. That's my guess

[Anderson19]

I'd love libertines, hasn't that melvin been (festival republic & reading/Leeds organiser) just got involved with beni in the last few months, I'd guess he had something to do with the booking. They've also got paolo nutini and tinie tempah as headliners haven't they? That's weak.

I suppose with the libertines it's how many shows they want to do..

[Placid Casual 1927]

Yeah I initially thought the Beni lineup looked better than Opti, but now looking at the day by day line up it doesn't look better at all. Knowing my luck I've picked a poor year to go to a festival abroad!

[Dietediet]

I suppose with the libertines it's how many shows they want to do..

Think it'll depend more on how much they're willing to give, considering The Libertines are only in it for the money. Looking at the sums being mentioned for their Hyde Park gig, they might just ask more than AM/Black Keys do.

[HarryP95]

i reckon if there will be more shows announced, more shows = more money and that is all they give a toss about. I reckon we could be in for a treat fellas

[Placid Casual 1927]

Just looked at the beni forum, it's imploded with the news of tiny temper and Paul nutini being bumped to headliners haha

[Hawky]

I reckon Beni were struggling... heard Libertines were about and smashed loads cash their way and then realised they'd blown all their budget meaning having to budge two people up.

I'm starting to think we've fucked it.

[Hawky]

However, they wouldn't keep announcing people if it was gunna be cancelled.

[Placid Casual 1927]

Yeah I doubt very much it will be cancelled. Just might not be a great last headliner. Fingers crossed. Will be a top week anyway

Reckon this rules him out?

[rmuscat18]
