Headliners 2016

[Badlands]

Of the grim, unimaginative bookings made this year by the Eavii, Faithless would be by far the worst. 

If they're on the dance stage then fair enough but they shouldn't be let anywhere near the Pyramid, West Holts or Other.

 

[Badlands]

Also gutted about Dacker. I'm not a big enough fan to be interested in a guest vocalist,  but we've already spunked our lot on trains and hotels

Could faithless do Arcadia or do they need more space than a spiders head?

I'd already been considering giving Dacker a swerve due to too many things all happening at once in June - I suspect that this news maybe seals it.

Though probably got little chance of getting shot of the tickets.

[FuzzyDunlop]

So pleased I saw ACDC last year.

Sad news, hopefully he is ok.

I don't think they're big enough for Pyramid sub these days, but Arcadia doesn't feel big enough to me.

[Spindles]

Would they be a good fit on West Holts?  One of those bands that make a good sound for a sunset slot.

[ghostdancer1]

they're a multi-person live instrument band, no chance of Arcadia. headline WH or sub Other or something. they're not relevant enough anymore to deserve anything bigger.

[Spindles]

I hope that one day Arcadia return to the larger stage that allowed live acts during the day (2011 design, last iteration before the spider) as that, to me, was more interesting than 3 DJ sets at the end of each night with a few set pieces in between.

[ClementsMike]

It would be shocking to see Faithless as high up as a Pyramid sub. Even in 2010 they were plundering a back catalogue. They are good at what they do, but they just aren't relevant enough, and havent been away anywhere to justify a reunion.

think third down is as high as they should realistically get this year, with a more modern pop act in between them and (i'm gonna assume) Adele

Shock horror there is a mention of Prince on the page in question

I haven't had the chance to check if by this point we were pre or post the fake betting slip situation & the roses4baggie episode

[Festival Liam]

I agree Faithless don't deserve anything as high as Pyramid sub, but festival bookers may not. Joint headlining Isle of Wight?!

I'm sure I was at faithless's last ever gig in 2010.

I doubt it.

Tho I reckon it'll be marked (as it always is) by demands for an international men's day.

International Womens Day was supposed to be yesterday but they took too long to get ready.
