Radio 1's Big Weekend 2015

[Bisque]

Fucking idiot

[Gucci Piggy]

I just...

Nope.

[devilman]

Fucking idiot

[Matt42]

New Mumford and Sons album out May 4th

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I'm thinking Mumford might be on for this

[5co77ie]

so "only UK live appearance" was a lie?

so "only UK live appearance" was a lie?

Is that what Reading are claiming?

Maybe not in that case, I assumed they only had 'festival' exclusivity and the Beeb would obviously work around that.

[LondonTom]

But they are playing in the Stopover in Scotland aren't they?

And at last count, the scots didn't want to leave

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Is that what Reading are claiming?

nope

Melvin was quoted as saying it will be "their first UK performance in over two years" - which is a lie, they played secret shows at Glastonbury 2014 - and the bottom of the press release claimed they are an "England and Wales festival exclusive", which in previously years has not affected bands being booked for R1BW one bit.

Pretty sure the glasto secret shows were actually members of the band playing with the likes of haim, not an actual Mumford and sons show

[the wonderwhy]

They curated a stage didn't they?

correct just a duo most of the time

[NickisGinger]

When does the ticket details get announced? soonish or mid April?

[kingcrawler]

When does the ticket details get announced? soonish or mid April?

Doubt it'll be too far away, tickets went on sale at the end of March last year.

[Stuart1000]

Ticket details announced tomorrow. Priority for people with a Norwich postcode and then people living in Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Colchester or Ipswich.

Where did you find this out? Nothing on radio 1 website or twitter?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Can't find anything about tickets but Grimshaw tweeted that the Breakfast Show is unveiling two additions to the lineup tomorrow.

[Dom Wall]

60 days to go (from tomorrow) isn't it?

yep

Taylor Swift gig live on the telly, can't wait

[Matt42]

All that build up for catfish and the bottleman and years and years

Meh.

[Dom Wall]

What we saying for other headliner? Foos have had 'congregation' on the playlist for a while and start a tour the next week; Kanye has had 45Seconds on and All Day has just been put on the playlist + promo for Glasto?; Mumford because it's Mumford?

Can't imagine Mumford doing it. Foos or Kanye would both make sense. Could imagine someone like Eminem tbh

[Stuart1000]

It's 100% Foo Fighters. They've had at least one song on the A-list section of the Playlist since the album was released. Last time that happened was last year when Katy Perry had Roar, Dark Horse and Birthday on one after the other (and then she was announced to headline). There's no other reason for them to keep the Foos there for that long.
