Midlands next year then, about bloody time!!!

Doubt it if it's Hull 2017, it probably will actually be South west/Cornwall next year

[Pothuthic]

Ooh I hope it is Norwich, my friend lives just half hour away

Again???? FFS

[Dom Wall]

It seems like there isn't a friday this year?

[Semprini]

Local news is reporting tickets will be allocated through a ballot but no official confirmation yet. They went on 'sale' last year for Glasgow so I'm hoping that will also be the case this time round. It takes considerably less time and effort to fill in a form than it does to actually try for tickets online at a certain time on a certain date, so I imagine thousands of people will apply. Say what you like about the lottery of 'ticket days' but at least that system requires a certain amount of commitment and perseverance on the part of the people who want to go.

Jesus Norwich! Of all the places it could visit!

Eh? What's wrong with Norwich?

OTBC!

[mercury]

i'd guess there's a big chance of foo fighters, royal blood and the prodigy being there as all three have tour dates that fit in with this and are radio 1 faves. ed sheeran too i'd be shocked if he wasn't there being a local lad.

[Pothuthic]

I suspect Sam Smith will as well?

[Gucci Piggy]

Do you still have an advantage if you're local? My brother's at UEA so that'd be nice if they had Foos or The Prodigy. He text me today saying his Facebook news feed is in meltdown because everyone at his uni wants to see Taylor Swift.

[Luke Routledge]

Im unsure if Foos will do it considering they have already headlined it twice. Then again I dont know if that matters for Big Weekend.

Probably like when Coldplay played his freshers week.

They've don't tend to have repeat headliners but as you say with the Foos having broken that 'rule' once there's no reason they couldn't break it again.
