Lineup 2016

[oneoftherest]

Disclosure will no doubt be doing their own festival and are already doing T In The Park, Foals are doing 6 Music Festival already and will likely do something at Glasto

[justanothername]

But we should have seen that the announcement would have been bad given that it was being announced by Nick Grimshaw on the breakfast show

This is a good point and when I think about makes the line up look weak. Probably going to show up to a lot of festivals in lower slots so whats the point then?

somebody apparently asked one of Foals if they'd be at Glastonbury and they said yes/gave a vague answer hinting at yes. we all brushed it off as we knew they'd be at R/L and assumed as an exclusive, but maybe it was right after all

[peruvianjoco]

Do we reckon we'll get a lot of rock acts next announcement to make up for the lack announced today...?

Foals / Disclosure / Two Door / Jack U / Oliver Heldens. All good for me. Don't know what you lot were expecting.

I wasn't expecting much. 1 act I could get excited for isn't a great deal to ask mind.

 

That's a steaming pile of w*nk.

Ignore the quote box, the mobile version of these forums is terrible.

Can see why this was done on radio 1. I think they just threw a dart at their playlist.

user skills, innit.

You only have a quote because you put it there. You can also remove it again.

If you say so!  RHCP, Foals, Disclosure, Two Door, The 1975, Twenty One Pilots, Slaves and Oliver Heldens are all must see's for me. Eagles of Death Metal, Imagine Dragons, BBK and Imagine Dragons I'll see if there's no other clashes, so I think it's shaping up quite nicely

There's still a tonne of acts to come, the pessimism on here every year is unparalleled, but it seems after the third announcement plenty of people change their minds!

Any Idea when early entry passes sell out & when weekend tickets will sell out?

I should bloody hope so. One of Guns N Roses, Biffy Clyro, Slipknot, Green Day, Muse and Foo Fighters as the final headliner. Then also Weezer, Brand New, Rise Against, Bullet For My Valentine, Skindred, Pvris, Fightstar, Tonight Alive, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Coheed & Cambria and The Wonder Years.

[Andre91]

What time is the press release out or whatever, so we can see about stages etc? 

[JSmurphy]

Are Fightstar still a thing? I thought Charlie rejoined Busted? I'd assume they'd be in the studio / touring this summer?

[Andre91]

Dan P Carter just tweeted this, "Everyone saying that Parkway is the only decent act announced, wind it in a sec. Wait until we start announcing the lineup for The Pit. Ha!" 

So I'm guessing Parkway Drive are Main Stage.

Well every time I click to post my last post is already in there so if I quoted last time I don't get a choice.

I'd certainly need a few of those to commit.

You do.

Very mediocre announcement. The lack of exclusivity for Foals and Disclosure makes that 'weaker' co-headliner partnership seem a bit weaker. They might've benefitted in focusing on just getting Foals as an outright headliner on an exclusive deal.

Imagine Dragons and TDCC don't exactly get the blood pumping through my veins.

Parkway Drive should be decent and so to Crystal Castles.

Despite my like for Foals and the latter two, a lacklustre announcement.

Haha. I wanted to do last year but I had nobody willing. This year a mate who's been in Australia is coming back for 2 weeks wanting to go.

Might have to see what Rock en Seine has.

[theramm]

Terrible announcement. Massively underwhelmed by the line-up thus far.

[JTed]

The next announcement needs to be mega, and they must have a big budget for the third headliner judging by that announcement...

Yeah it's a weird reaction. I can find three in the new names that I like. Saying announcements are 'shit' because you've never heard the artists is Gazzaesque daftery.

I keep comparing it to 2013's second announcement (biffy, system of a down, fall out boy, foals, jake bugg and bring me the horizon). Fewer bands but a lot lot stronger and caters more for every genre. More announcements like that please

Foals/Disclosure co-headlining. RHCP.

1975 and Imagine Dragons subbing.

From the same source that gave me the 2014 line-up. 

Being as I believe this was commented before the RHCP announcement , your source is looking pretty on point so far!

[the wonderwhy]

Its a pretty lame announcement but that's because I think a lot of what they book now is pretty lame. 

Its probably a good announcement if you like a Fetty Wap - whatever the fuck that is
