Radio 1's Big Weekend 2015

[Pothuthic]

Wouldn't be too upset tbh

[the wonderwhy]

He's pulled Werchter in June, so I'm guessing he's out of this too?

[Dom Wall]

Werchter statement says he's pulled out of all forthcoming shows and festival performances so presuming so!

Fingers crossed they get TS or the Foos to extend their set rather than get Calvin or similar to replace him.

[Dom Wall]

Mumford to replace?...

[ives56]

Maroon 5 will hopefully replace him

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Optimistic to think any replacement at this late notice would be an arena act tbh, more likely someone smaller who was a surprise absence from the INMWT list. Probably Jessie Ware but preferably Everything Everything. My bet would be they just give the top three 10/15 mins extra each tho.

Or they could just bump Alt-J/Catfish up a stage and leave everyone else's timings the same. But that'd be ultra-lame.

[Pothuthic]

So sad

Wonder if Henderson is on the phone to Greg James screaming at him?

[Pothuthic]

Tickets came today

(btw about my las post, I wish Sam the best)

[Gucci Piggy]

Running order's weird on the website now. I think someone said they often have strange orders so do we think this might be correct, or just randomly fucked up?

Would probably prefer how it is on there now. Definitely see Snoop Dogg, then see The Vaccines and get a good spot for Muse.

Unfortunately I'm gonna assume it's wrong, as Guetta's now middle of the day. Then again, there wouldn't really be much difference between middle of the day and third from top for him, would there?

[kingcrawler]

I wouldn't read too much into that order, doubt The Vaccines will be that high up. The INMWT is just in alphabetical order so it'll end up being something different.

Ah didn't realise that. Main stage is alphabetical order too, haha.

[Stuart1000]

I posted what had been confirmed as the stage order a few pages back. It goes Guetta, Florence, Muse as final 3 on the Saturday IIRC.

[ives56]

Got my tickets today

[ives56]

Is there any update on who is replacing Sam Smith ?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Is there any update on who is replacing Sam Smith ?

no

I don't think they will replace him, just bump everyone else up the lineup. Or possibly move James Bay to the Main Stage?

[Semprini]

Just had confirmation of tickets for the Introducing gig on Wednesday night with The Bohicas. A couple of colleagues at work got them too so must be no issue with availability. Also definitely going on Greg James' show on Friday, which will be interesting to see first-hand how it all works.

Has anyone been down by the site to see how the build is going?

I was at the Sportpark on Saturday and there was no sign of anything going on at all! Didn't venture any further though

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah IIRC that newspaper report on the disruption to the local area stated that the build was only beginning this week. Very different to how it used to be, my dad was a safety manager at Birmingham 2004 and it was six weeks worth of week either side of the event.

[Pothuthic]

Apparently Scott just hunted at Leona being added?

[Bobinup]

Apparently Scott just hunted at Leona being added?

Because shes been played loads on R1 lately

[OliOliOli]

Apparently Scott just hunted at Leona being added?

How so?

[Pothuthic]

How so?

She hosted today's academy and Scott said "Norwich this might not be the last you see of Leona" or something.
