Twenty one pilots could play under chvrches. Would've expected BBK to close NME one day.

 

This could happen quite easily but they don't generally announce any "closing set" until the big Feb/March announcement, I think.

Just had a little look at the prediction thread, and there's one in there which has all the acts source one mentioned, except TDCC are third down. It's also been said that there's one prediction in there that's strikingly close. On top of this, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I do remember a user explicitly saying an act wasn't headlining Download at one point who were announced the next day. They knew all along and wanted to misdirect people. Pretty sure it was luckysalt.

 

Starting to believe source 1 more again.

Nah I believe Lucky (and Black_Crow!) don't get me wrong. It's just whether I believe source 2.

Oh well. Really not that long to wait.

Yeah, fair point. It's pretty hard to believe that R&L have booked LCD Soundsystem.

[Dan Wilcox]

Going through previous communication, "source 2" mentioned Panic! at the Disco as a lock a few months back, and they've since been confirmed as a Slam Dunk exclusive. So there's that. 

[seanz25]

Also don't believe if they've booked Weezer or Sum 41 one of them won't be announced tomorow. Both tours here sold out completely way in advance. Very little reason to not announce otherwise.

Whoa. I think we were all assuming the co-headline announcement would come last, as QOTSA/Paramore did. 

[FloorFiller]

surprising! although another frustrating couple of months of wondering who the third headliner is

[The Placid Casual]

w*nk.

[CRW5252]

Well that's boring as fuck

[dentalplan]

While all the people who know people are here - does anyone know where Biffy are?

[supreme]

What a bore, why the half 7 announcement?

Yeah I'd like to go.

[thelemon]

I would've thought that they'd be last, but maybe they were meant to be but the third isn't fully sorted yet or can't be announced for whatever reason. Hopefully that's the case and we're just waiting on TSR or RH to announce more dates or a new album (respectively). Hopefully this rules out GNR altogether.

[Biogeneric]

Was really hoping F/D was the final announcement, we have to wait agesss now for the unknown headline act!

[thelemon]

Hoping for some decent other acts though, like the Shadow Puppets, Tame Impala or CHVRCHES

[supreme]

Do you think disclosure will be on last at both sites for the dark lighting or will they alternate?

probably alternate, otherwise it'll seem like it's just Disclosure headlining with Foals subbing

I hope Leeds have Disclosure last (for purely selfish reasons). Would much prefer them in the night with Foals before

It'd seem like that to one site anyway. And to the other site it'd seem like the other way around.

Basically it's all in the billing and if Disclosure close each but level with Foals on the promo then it's still a coheadline.

[thelemon]

Foals before Disclosure would generally work better, but I think someone's already mentioned Foals would want to close Reading, plus if they're coing they'd rotate anyway, unless they passed it off as Foals headlining and Disclosure doing a "closing set"

[supreme]

I think the closing set would make much more sense

[oneoftherest]

Disclosure on the light would be rate odd
