OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[willjill]

Not as poor as no headliner though :/

[Dom Wall]

I'd take no headliner yet over FNM. Gives potential for something better...

[poromenos]

They normally don't reply to specific line-up requests that get posted in their fb page but...

That'd be decent not going to lie hahaha

[Anderson19]

They always reply with that one on twitter.

It mightaswell say "thanks a lot we don't care"

[HarryP95]

isn't the 6 weeks prince thing tomorrow or something? Also i think it is official we are the last festival in Europe still waiting haha fuck sake, the unorganised bastards

[Dom Wall]

Yeah, but we found out he's in the USA the week before so doubtful.

[HarryP95]

I doubt after 30 odd years of touring a week between 2 plane rides and the thought of a large carbon footprint would put him off

[nigelreocoker]

Count yourselves lucky you ain't got fucking Tinie Tempah and Paolo Nutini like Beni....

[Dom Wall]

I'd take Paolo to be fair.

tinie playing Beni on the Sunday now in DUBLIN according to his tour page..haha! I'll have that! 41 days to OA then down to Beni..who ever plays it's goin to be a party!

[Anderson19]

Last festival in Europe to announce haha and they usually have all 3 announced by about feb.

Still as others have said it'll still be a blast

[HarryP95]

Atleast Tinie Tempah has songs like frisky and Miami to ibiza that will be a decent laugh, at this rate we are looking at fuck all haha

[willjill]

Paolo Nutini shouldn't be a headline act at any major festival and the fact that he is only helps reiterate the lack of worthy bands available (IMHO)

[shaun64]

I think (know) this is the worst year for festivals.. but which ever festival people are going to I'm sure they'll (we) will enjoy!! summer of 2014 bring it on!

[Millar95]

I don't know why people are complaining about Paolo, I'd take him in a heartbeat right now! Better than shite like Bastille stepping up!

[HarryP95]

optimus have booked the worst 3 bands in music today, 1975, Bastille and Imagine dragons, exclusively liked by 14 year old girls, waste of money in my humble opinion.

I'm sorry, but Imagine Dragons are the most streamed band in the world this year and won countless awards, being even better live. Bastille are an excellent live band; two off the best on the line-up.

As much as I am not a fan of them (imagine dragons are good live though), I think you are wrong about them being exclusively for 14 year old girls! They all have a mass popularity, and attract a lot of male fans! Unfortunately, this is the sort of music people are listening to right now!

[HarryP95]

before i get called a bias little gremlin again haha i'm not backing down, popularity and awards doesn't equate to been good. I saw Imagine dragons live at Leeds festival last year and again very so so, probably the least bad of the three. Bastille are bloody awful, i would say the worst of the bunch and 1975 are just a boy band with guitars, no better than the wanted or some w*nk like that. The majority of the of Imagine Dragon fans is the teenage girls growing out of 1D but still want to obsess over a band and fancy the lead singer demographic. Just boring in reality. Bring on the vote downs

Don't get me wrong, I don't like these bands! I wish they weren't on the line up as much as you, but I think you are underestimating their popularity a little!

[willjill]

Being nowhere near the age of 14 unless you switch the numbers around I quite like listening to Imagine Dragons but won't be putting them before Arctic Monkeys

[HarryP95]

they are a bit shite though hahahi messaged optimus saying something like, word on the street is Libertines are playing, are the streets telling lies optimus? they replied with 'At the moment they do, only when we confirm the headliner on our website / newsletter it'll be official We'll announce as soon as possible.' like i dno is the dude been clever been like yeah it is them but it aint official or is that a no it isn't them? opinions?

[Dom Wall]

Could easily be taken in the 'they're headlining' kinda way...

[willjill]

Music vs noise Harry. Can't all be liking the same things else there would only ever be one stage at any festival
