Lineup 2016

[Nick Aldous]

Personally, im not buying that E-metro is right. It's not asif they're the most reliable/strong news source. Like, where would they get that information from early? Kinda seems like they've just chosen a strong rumour and gone for it. Would love to know if they've been right about it before though.

Disclosure on the light would be rate odd

It'd be shit regardless

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.

i'm sure it'll play out just like the other co-headliners with alternating nights. maybe it's just me but if i were in Foals i'd want to actually close a night like every other headliner does

I checked there cause that's where I found out about Red Hot Chilli Peppers playing the day that announcement went up. I wouldn't mind if it was wrong but they've already been right once for this year's fest.

They're a national newspaper, they'll have been sent the PR...

I'd say it's reliable, remember there's an 'embargoed' press release that will have gone out early this afternoon to meet printing times for tomorow morning etc. 

[thelemon]

Isn't that just a digital version of tomorrow's paper? They're not going to print it if they don't know for certain, and it's a big, national newspaper as well.

[Nick Aldous]

Looks like I've been told. Hahaha. Well, if they were right about RHCP i guess it is reliable. And printing times, I can understand. 

I dont know, I won't believe anything until it's officially annouced. Guess I'll see in the morning.

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

Last year's announcement wasn't until February, and it'll be The Stone Roses.

I'm in Stepney Fried Chicken now, dw

[conroy17]

Shadow Puppets, LCD Soundsystem & At The Drive-In all just added to Open'er; be great if all 3 were announced.

Pretty gutted if it is Foals/Disclosure tomorrow, I wanted it to be someone we didn't know.

Source 2:

Kanye West confirmed tomorrow, GNR out of the running until 2017. 

LCD Soundsystem also announced, presumably as a sub. 14 acts in all announced, again including TDCC, and Chvrches, in undisclosed slots. 

Both sources have provided accurate info in the past. Source 1 provided me the 2014  poster and the RHCP/1975 announcement, and Foals/Disclosure co-headline deal yet to be confirmed.  

I hope Source 2 is right

The last one must be really shit if they have had to announce an act without selling out dates now. That's appalling.

[JSmurphy]

Was hoping for the third headliner who we didn't know. Foals / Disclosure is great for me but not really a surprise. 

[eFestivals]

well, I've just read thru all the posts since around 6pm yesterday, and no one is even remotely close with their guesses.
