Will end up being Foals and Disclosure headlining the other two days separately at this rate.

I'd love it just for the Gazza implode that would occur.

Obviously won't happen though.

I disagree, I think there's a very good chance Gazza would implode.

[Shaun182]

Any chance Reading will start having closing sets on the main stage? That's the only way I can really see Disclosure playing at all, they're not big enough to be declared as headliners and having them subheadline main (in daylight) would just be a weird booking.

Biffy played a new song last night, really heavy. Sort of a condensed tighter version of songs off albums 2 & 3. I'll be pretty happy if that's the direction they go on the new album

Interview with Simon in kerrang this week he describes the new songs as harder and rougher than Opposites.

Please say they're playing Sonisphere.

Just for old time's sake.

Guns N Roses, RHCP and foals/disclosure sounds far too strong!

It is the NME though, although Black Crow obviously doesn't know anything. I would not be shocked if BST announce GNR a little after Coachella in a few days which will sell out without fail and that may just work out financially for R&L to grab them. Neither party will be concerned about sharing them, it's all about keeping them from others. IOW can't be ruled out but they may not be free in time. Given Bonnaroo will announced about a week after Coachella, are we expecting them there as well?, if so IOW naturally won't happen.

That would be ticket bought, Pendulum as an exclusive subbing GNR. It'd be the strongest top two they have bookes in years.

Decent quality video for anyone interested. Cannot wait for the album.

The guitar is pretty muffled on that video, it sounded massive at the actual show.

From my understanding, Coachella is likely to be their only US festival shows. They are planning a stadium tour across the US in the Summer with the odd Euro show planned. Hockenheim is being touted in July and Wembley Stadium.

Could play a standalone gig at Knebworth, but I doubt we will see them at Sonisphere UK.

[oneoftherest]

I think R+L is increasingly unlikely for GnR what with them being a risky booking anyway and they'd probably be offered more money from stadium shows than festivals

It's probably going to come down to money for those guys too, its not like they have anything left to accomplish

[oneoftherest]

Two Door Cinema Club are back with "new shows, new music, new everything"

[JSmurphy]

I can definitely see TDCC playing, either 3rd/4th or NME headliner for me. 

[dentalplan]

It's hard to place these acts that are only around for a couple of years, get quite big then go away for a couple of years. They've announced half a dozen fests already and new music would be expected so I don't know who "new shows, new music, new everything" is news to.

[conroy17]

I could not place TDCC; they could probably pass as main subs but really hoping they're not if they do play

It's the 1st time with both Axl and Slash for 23 years, a outdoor tour won't stop R&L booking them too. Normally I'd say yes but not on this. It's not a risky booking, Coachella haven't paid through to nose and if reports are corrects 25 dates worth of payout in the states because its risky.

TDCC are booked, either sub-headliner or NME headliner. Think it may be the latter.

Well NME header and sub header aren't equivalent so it won't be one be or the other. Sub is bigger than NME, 3rd is about the same.

Aren't sources very hard to come by these days?

Speculation until proven fact for me.

[jackwhite1]

Does anyone know when the next announcement will be approx? When was the main announcement last year?
