T in the Park 2016

Don't know how reliable this is (told by a mate who was told by a mate who was told by a mate etc) but supposedly the headliners are Roses, Calvin and Red Hot Chilli Peppers, with LCD soundsystem playing somewhere on the Saturday as well

I wouldn't be surprised if they're an 'English exclusive', which would give them room to play T.

Yeah, as far as I can see the Reading website just refers to them as a "festival exclusive". Still not really expecting them for T but they can't be ruled out.

But would LCD Soundsystem really headline cochlea and co-healine T...?

No, they won't co-headline T.

Even your own write up for it was UK Exclusive though.

They would be a radio 1/king tuts headliner at T

Not sure what to think of Roses, Chillis and Harris. Very much possible and big enough, just not at all inspiring, hopefully a decent undercard

• Noise – the entertainment noise controls in place resulted in very few noise complaints

 

That alone should have the mug who thought strathallan is a good site a kick in the nads.

The fair was louder than slam

I'd be happy with Calvin and Chillis as the other two headliners. LCD Soundsystem would be a good booking, but for some reason I don't see T going in for them.

Red Hot Chili Peppers are playing in Russia on Saturday 9th of July. Would they be able to get all their equipment etc from Moscow to TITP in a day for the Sunday slot do we reckon?

Kendrick would sub, The Weeknd would headline that stage probably, Ellie isn't playing 3rd down again, Royal Blood would be lower, LCD would probably be closing a stage that isn't main, Major Lazer could probably headline that outright. The rest okay but too strong for T nowadays.

Would he really though? He's headlining Longitude this year. Their headline acts in recent years are more often than not lower than sub level at T. 2015: Hozier, Alt-J, Chemical Brothers. Hozier was 4th down main stage, Alt-J were second down on R1. 2014: Ben Howard, Disclosure, Massive Attack. Ben Howard headlined Tuts. Disclosure headlined R1. 2013: Phoenix, Vampire Weekend, Kraftwerk. Phoenix were 2nd down in Tuts, Kraftwerk headlined Tuts. The evidence clearly suggests that the acts headlining Longitude are not sub sized acts at T. Yes, he subbed R&L last year, but so did Alt-J and BMTH, neither of which would be big enough to sub T.

The Weeknd could probably be higher, don't know much about him to be honest.

Ellie in that line-up should be below the 2 co-headliners so she would technically be a sub. However I couldn't think of a co-headliner so just popped Faithless in. I agree she's subbing on a normal day, but third down on a co-headline day. 

Royal Blood I think once album 2 comes out will be huge, and will be able to fill that slot, especially as the rock alternative to Calvin on main stage.

LCD Soundsystem could probably headline R1 yeah, but the only sensible slot would be against Calvin, and as they have strong electronic elements in their music, I thought it best not to put them against another electronic act. Hence, subbing being the only other available slot, and I think it would work well, much like Pulp in 2011.

Major Lazer are in a similar boat to Kendrick Lamar. Headlining Longitude, so could maybe headline R1, but wouldn't be a shock for them not to. Maybe a Tuts headliner.

Apologies for the essay length post, but hopefully that justifies my selections.

I agree with all of your post apart from these bits. Kendrick was 4th down when he played in 2013 and is clearly a much bigger deal now, so subbing seems the obvious slot for him. 

While LCD Soundsystem have an electronic side to them there will hardly be any crossover between them and Calvin so I don't think putting LCD Soundsystem as Radio 1 headliners against him would be a bad idea at all.

Also I agree that Royal Blood aren't too low where you put them however I doubt they'll be around this summer as I imagine we'd have seen them on one of the already announced lineups either in Europe or America. I still think they'll release their album later in the year and then headline R&L on an exclusive in 2017.

I doubt Faithless are going to co-headline T, they would sub it yes. Don't forget IOW have had headline and co-headline dance acts that only sub/headline 2nd stage at most major UK festivals, Download being an excption for The Prodigy as Van Halen fucked them over again.

That festival exclusive could well mean generally, it doesn't state English and R&L are usually very clear if they're headers are English only. They didn't have The Libs as any exclusive due to T, Mumford was as they were and Metallica was as they were.

Yeah but he was also 2nd bottom. It was when the Friday still only had about 5 acts per stage. Makes it a bit trickier to judge the size of the slot.

I'll be gutted if there's no Royal Blood.
