Lineup 2016

[kev1664]

Slaves & twentyone pilots are good for me, however I can't see that alone attracting my group of friends especially rhcp after 2007. Still lots of scope for improvement, but last year had Metallica and I still couldn't persuade anyone to even get a day ticket.

If foals and disclosure are true then that last headliner will be the make or break formost of them.

We'll see.

[DMCJ2]

Actually like quite a few of them but haven't heard great things about Chilis live and most of other acts have been at Readings I've been to in recent years so not too fussed about going yet

[Andre91]

Rat Boy are the single biggest piece of garbage I have seen in a long while. Had the misfortune of seeing them a couple of weeks ago. Just terrible. 

Happy enough with that announcement though. RHCP will be great to tick off the list, The 1975 always bring it live, Crossfaith (whom I assume will be on the lock up) will tear the place down and I have a soft spot for the Courteeners.

...and Courteeners, Twenty One Pilots, Rat Boy, BBK and Slaves. They've announced some acts with pretty big followings straight off the bat.

Yeah. It's a good announcement if you're, you know, not us.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah its horrible and uninspiring but they're all popular bands so it'll go down well and shift tickets over Christmas. 

Wonder what slot the Courteeners will get now

Dan Wilcox said there was a band we'd like.

Literally 10 minutes ago I had a dream David Bowie was announced. Woke up not entirely sure if I'd dreamt it or not. Was strange.

I missed that. I assume he probably thinks we all like Slaves?

I'd assume so. I'd know pretty much everything from their first two albums due to them being 'the' band at my high school. Went to a Manchester club where they play 4 Courteeners songs last Saturday. Would anybody like the name so they can avoid it?

[oneoftherest]

I think there is something for everyone on that announcement

There is grime (BBK)

There is house. (EZ)

There is indie (1975, Courteeners)

There is metal (Crossfaith)

There is rock (RHCP)

There is (2015) punk (Slaves)

There is alternative (21 Pilots)

I went to a club last Monday where Not Nineteen Forever was played twice in the space of three songs. Think the DJ was having a random ramble moment.

Where do we think everyone is going to slot

I'm particularly interested in where Slaves, BBK and Twenty One Pilots go

But is there anything for Kanye?

[The Placid Casual]

Also, 'there is alternative'...

1975 - Sub

Courteeners - 3rd

Twenty One Pilots - Either 5th main or sub tent

Crossfaith - High in the pit

BBK - Fairly high in the NME

Slaves - Low to mid Main

EZ - Dance tent

Hinds - FR or Low NME

[dip]

I think TOP will be fourth, same as All Time Low. They're big and they're only going to get bigger

Yeah I did nearly put 4th, I could see the top 4 from this announcement being the top 4 on one day quite easily

Stone temple pilots are ruled out

Cruel.

[AndrewSmith]

Terrible announcement for me.

RHCP - A band I wouldn't mind seeing but not one I'd go out of my way to pay for.

1975 - I've seen way too many times and has killed it for me, my mind might be changed by their album release next year. 

Courteeners - Again, seen quite a few times and attract a lot of twats

Twenty One Pilots - Just not my thing

Crossfaith - Great live band, hopefully they'll be high on the pit

BBK - I'm on of those 'this is a rock festival' kinda people

Slaves - Similar feeling to Drenge, I've seen them, they were good, they'll be ok to see again

EZ - I've heard great things, not really my thing again

Hinds - First I've heard of these guys

 

Fucking hell, I sound like great fun

[dentalplan]

He hadn't even been in the band for years.

That's neither funny nor accurate.

[mrtourette]

As for the announcement, personally it's shit but not surprising and will probably sell reasonably well.

[JSmurphy]

Nothing too unexpected, but really pleased with the announcement. Great to see RHCP, The 1975 and TOP, also Slaves as i opted for Modestep rather than them last year. 

[oneoftherest]

Everyone on here is hating it but for me I could hardly have asked for a better announcement
