OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[ljb1995]

For 115 pounds I'm quite impressed already hopefully a few more good names added to the bill and it will be very much worth the money

[SagitarianWorld]

2013: Green Day / Depeche Mode / Kings Of Leon

2012: Stone Roses / The Cure / Radiohead

2011: Coldplay / 30 Seconds To Mars / Foo Fighters / Jane's Addiction

2010: Faith No More / Deftones / Pearl Jam

2009: Metallica / The Prodigy / Dave Matthews Band

2008: Rage Against The Machine / Within Temptation / Ben Harper

2007: Pearl Jam / The Smashing Pumpkins / Beastie Boys

I hope Optimus Alive respect their own history and don't put Prince as the 3rd headliner...

Is it too early to pack my suitcase d'ya think? LoL

[HarryP95]

hahaha there is some right shite on there! 2012 is the only year when there isn't a shit headliner, oh well 2/3 aint bad. Leeds fest has paramore who are shit, blink who are shit and then AM and QOTSA who are good so they have a 50% hit rate, ours is 66.6% so i guess we haven't done bad haha

Prince just announced two shows at London roundhouse...

[Dom Wall]

2013 isn't too shabby..note there's been a 'heritage' act every year (heritage/legend/old bugger band) but not one announced yet this year..

Exactly!

How about AC/DC?

[HarryP95]

yeah, I reckon that could mean the purple one. He seems like a right w*nker waiting so late to announce shows, all about his ego at the end of the day, if me makes us wait till a few days before i won't go out of protest

[willjill]

I still can't see it being Prince. Doubt very much he'd make them delay announcing given he's been announced for the festival in the US for a while now. It's far more likely they're struggling to find available acts as there seems to be a few spots still to fill over the weekend.

[tomhall6787]

Getting to the stage where I'm not worried about the headliners I'm more worried there aren't gonna be any other bands at all!

On the poster it says more than 125 acts . Just over 50 been announced so far I think, surely they can't lie to us that badly?!

[Placid Casual 1927]

I imagine 125 is what they've had previously so they expected to get that again. They could probably pull in another 20/30 smaller acts easily but I'd be surprised at this late stage there will be many more bigger/good bands.

I'm not too bothered overall. Will be ace either way. Would fucking love prince!

[Nobby Solano]

Heard Puma shoes are the third headliner...

[HarryP95]

They are just mugging us off now, the Facebook page is just loads of abuse hahaha

[SagitarianWorld]

I have no words...

[Nobby Solano]

People saying there should be at least 50 new acts, surely it's too late to announce that many? They must be struggling?

[Placid Casual 1927]

Are they OA jonnies?!

[SagitarianWorld]

Are they OA jonnies?!

Yup. "Make love, not a headliner"

[HarryP95]

If they can fuck about making condoms (pardon the pun) it means that at least the festival is deffos off ahead, and who knows the extra euros might mean we get someone people like.

[ljb1995]

We are never going to find out, unless all these stupid posts about puma trainers and condoms is a puzzle?

[Anderson19]

Farcical

[Nobby Solano]

How much are these condoms anyway?

[Ged Devereux]

Really can't believe how long it's taking them to announce, but I've got a feeling it'll be worth the wait!

[Nobby Solano]

I'd settle for a few decent acts and no headliner at the moment, the line-up needs padding out with some more FTP/Bastille popularity sized bands.

[Placid Casual 1927]

Yup. "Make love, not a headliner"

Maybe Jonnie Marr will get announced?

[CraigH]

Maybe Jonnie Marr will get announced?
