Headliners 2015

[Ipayne]

Idk, I keep forgetting there's another headliner and sub to be announced.. To be honest, I'm happy enough with the line up at the moment I'm really not that bothered we don't know yet as it'll just be a big bonus if they're someone I like.

[FloorFiller]

Are we any closer to knowing who it might be? Michael's comment initially had me intrigued but then Emil pissed all over them even if her comments were just as intriguing in their own way; Personally I have absolutely no idea who it might be and I am starting to lose my mind guessing.

i think Blur is still the safest bet - seems to fit in with everything that's been said by everybody (British act, have played before, prior shows delaying announcement etc)

[Gucci Piggy]

Actually we don't know if the penultimate is coming in May or June, do we?

I thought they implied both the headliner and penultimate were being released together?

[mjsell]

Has Elbow been ruled out? Not for headliner obviously but sub?

They only subbed last year, why would they possibly be booked again to do the exact same slot with nothing new to offer...

I missed the 'have played before' bit - where did it come from?

Michael at the same time he said about the two acts thing.

Ah okay, if that is the case then it will be three headliners this year who I am not really interested in. Although I will watch Kanye West just because I imagine he will be amazing live.

But then once the BST gig did sell out they'd probably just move her to the first announcement.

But if she's subbing, and the main headline act couldnt be announced in first wave, it would look like she was the third headliner if she was to be announced.

[dentalplan]

Didn't Michael say both of the acts were British?

[FloorFiller]

Didn't Michael say both of the acts were British?

he said it with some uncertainty but yeah i believe he did

[Bradders]

Didn't Michael say both of the acts were British?

He said they were "most likely" British, which doesn't make any sense so can be ignored to an extent.

No she'd just be below the headliners where Flo, Pharrell, etc. are, with it still saying "Special Guests" where it currently does.

[Gucci Piggy]

He said they were "most likely" British, which doesn't make any sense so can be ignored to an extent.

And was that just about the headliner or about both acts?

you sure it makes no sense? I think it's a bit of a clue..

I reckon it's looking more likely that not that both sub and head will be British acts, but I took this to possibly hint at a collaboration as well, one it wasn't denied by Emily and two, if Noel and Blur, you'd have to say it's odds on. I see Shangri-La announce 11th May being a Monday, it must be quite likely that Thursday of that week the rest will drop.

[dentalplan]

I would think that's just his way of saying it without saying it. Otherwise he'd be outright lying as he knows Swift, Madge and Prince and the like ain't British.

And was that just about the headliner or about both acts?

I don't think he ever spoke of the acts singularly, which is why we thought there was some insane collaboration going on.

you sure it makes no sense? I think it's a bit of a clue..

You'll have to spell it out for us.

[FloorFiller]

you mean a mixed act (e.g. Fleetwood Mac)?

Maybe an act who can't decide whether they're British or not? Lewis Hamilton? Aaron Cook? Edited April 27, 2015 by Zac Quinn

has Madonna started using her fake British accent again?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Just don't mention Cl*ff

[Bradders]

Well they can only be "most likely" British if he isn't sure who they are at the moment. So I guess you're getting at some kind of loose collaboration that hasn't been 100% confirmed yet?

If that's not what you mean then you'll have to explain.
