Erm 2015? Unless I was hallucinating. Possible I suppose given the circumstances

Yeah they played mid-NME and they became a high main stage band on the back of that same album. Would have thought they have wanted them back after that. Hence why I said "since they hit the big time".

Ah heres the proper thing:

KASABIAN have joined MUSE as the two headline acts for this year’s Reading & Leeds Festival. FATBOY SLIM, TWO DOOR CINEMA CLUB, CIRCA WAVES and RAT BOY are also on the bill for the bash on August 25 to 27.

(from the S*n)

Fatboy Slim would be a pretty good NME headliner.

If that's legit I'm happy - like all of those.

TDCC could be subbing? They won't be any lower than third down main right? Since they headlined NME last year.

Must be a long time since an NME headliner came back the next year. Last I can see is Lostprophets. Gross.

I'm sure he will be headlining NME, don't think he'll be much cop though.

[Buko]

Really decent announcement but surely we'll get more than 5 acts.

3rd down I guess. Subbing would be nuts, not having that.

Yeah its from The Sun Showbiz bit so probably just Sun reader type stuff they reported and more in the morning.

Ahh fair play, so far so good. 

Wouldnt be surprised to see TDCC 3rd on main stage with some form of exclusivity

Melvin was banging on about TDCC being future headliners after last year's festival so who knows. Would be a complete piss take, though.

[Muppetmark]

They'll be 3rd as they're not exclusive as boardmasters have them 

[FloorFiller]

Certainly hope the proper announcement is a bit more impressive as those acts chosen by the Sun are terrible 

[Matt42]

oh god thats boring

[Matt42]

knew it was gonna be kasabian tho

[Matt42]

borin

[Thrillhouse]

Decent-ish announcement for me. Still not sure I could justify the money for a weekend ticket though

[FloorFiller]

Awful

[The60ftOctopus]

Christ. 

[RedBalloon]

for a second announcement that is pretty uninspiring.

two door played last year... why would you put them in the SECOND announcement? pure insanity from FR, it's as though they don't want to sell tickets.

[Matt42]

they are either holding lots back or they've spent all their money on three big headliners

[JSmurphy]

Kasabian as expected then. I'd see Flume and Jimmy Eat World and I guess TDCC, although they're a weird booking. I wouldn't be surprised if they subbed given the size of the headliners. I mean it'd be ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Aye if they've got, say, Royal Blood, then it's weird that they haven't announced them already. Either they're holding them back for later (maybe Royal Blood have a tour to sell or something...) or holding them back to headline for next year like many predicted.

This announcement is confusing in how middle of the road it is. A bunch of acts who show up at R/L constantly.

Fatboy Slim always outs on a good show. If it's anything like when he appears at Glasto the crowd will be massive for him.

Can't stand Wiley the absolute gobshite. Apparently he is the godfather of grime. Clearly going to appear on the NME somewhere (probably sub or 3rd). They had him on the cover recently.

Panic! At The Disco, You Me At Six, Twenty One Pilots, Kaiser Chiefs all possible for third down.

Please, Weezer.

TDCC straight outta nowhere

[coreyt409]

On a plus (IMO) this announement means it's more than likely my first year off from this festival, FINALLY.
