wireless 2014

[Babyquack]

Arcade Fire? Are we not expecting the same old shit that has dominated the lineup the past couple of years?

[Gucci Piggy]

I think people are hoping for a gem of a Lineup ala 2006 - kaiser Chiefs, The White Stripes & Daft Punk. How fucking good was that though....

[the wonderwhy]

It wasn't a lie from the promoter - Win told a few people at the Reflektor shows. It's because they want a month off to spend with their families, go on holiday together etc.

[Gucci Piggy]

Will people believe me now?

[the wonderwhy]

No your Matt Davies approach will never work.

That was 2007 it also had QOTSA, Faithless, The Cribs and a lot other good stuff.

2006 had The Strokes, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Flaming Lips, The Raconteurs amongest other good stuff but sadly one of the headliners was James Blunt

But Wireless used to be damn good.

Thing is Live Nation have V as well now and Wireless and V are very similar, maybe they'll take a different approach with Wireless this year? Especially how V and Wireless are a month apart and both the locations are quite close together...

Hope so anyway.

[Babyquack]

If Kaiser Chiefs were one of the three highlights it can't have been that good.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I'm guessing Beyonce will probably end up being one of the headliners... She's touring in 2014, she likes doing big outdoor shows & she's headlined Glastonbury & V in recent years so I doubt she'll be there. Plus Wireless must have a big ticket shifter lined up to want to make it a dual site.

I wouldn't be surprised to see her headline Wireless & T in the Park.

[the wonderwhy]

She has already got eight shows across London and Birmingham though. Admittedly they're a couple of months before, but still, that's a lot of tickets

On a side note, I've just received a PM from Gazza (Aren't I the lucky one) & from what I can decipher from his incessant rambling he thinks the Wireless headliners will be Eminem, Beyonce & "dancey act".

Gazza correctly predicts Eminem for the second time in a row? Could it be?

[Muppetmark]

The arena dates are in Feb/March & sold out instantly at £60-90 a ticket, I doubt that's going to put any promoter off booking her for a festival in July. She's the biggest "pop" star on the planet at the moment, booking her would never be a bad decision. Especially for a "festival" such as Wireless.

[Paul ™]

So his now just PMing people his mad ramblings rather than post them? :S

Strange!

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Yup, had a couple from him.

Not at all interested in him or what he has to say either on the forum or by PM.. blokes a weirdo.

[Paul ™]

Exactly how I feel. He's actually sent me a load of abuse now because I apparently misquoted him on his prediction... Like anybody gives a shit.

[Muppetmark]

daft punk performing at the grammys. could it be?

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Yup tried to pull me up for something petty too.. Sad individual

[5co77ie]

new home is Finsbury Park

[glasto-worker]

Well it can't be Hyde Park so Hackney or Finsbury must be the most likely? (Can you fit multiple stages in Finsbury?)

[GuitarManDan15]

So 2 days Arctic Monkeys, 3 days wireless. Where does this leave the 'calling' brand?
