Field Day is dropping a huge announcement at 9.45 am Spanish time. That sounds a lot like 10ish. 

Now now

[DDave]

Are we talking 10am Spanish time or GMT?

I don't want to imagine something that unrealistic. It was put together I think by someone who by their own mission was showing what was theoreticaly possible, not what was possible in reality.

The Weeknd surely way too low down & i'm sure The Stone Roses said they never have, or will support anyone

They're playing Bonnaroo which is the same weekend as Field Day so would seemingly rule them out. 

That said I expect them to be announced for Primavera and it seems a bit too coincidental for the two announcements to not be linked somehow 

[Bort]

Maybe the two announcements are linked via At the Drive-In

[StephenF]

It's a likley more to do with the fact that they will have an analogous lineup. If primavera announce too far ahead of field day or love song (that French thing I'd never heard of in my uncultured stupor) they will lose potential gate receipts from people jumping at the guarantee, rather than the expectation, of a stellar line up.

I hope so  I'd love to relive my teenage years by being chastised for losing my shit by Cedric.

Not a chance for Field Day 

[calaix]

So who is going to be announced for Field Day?

 

[the wonderwhy]

Presumably the Saturday headliner and then a bunch of undercard acts 

[calaix]

any idea who for Saturday? New Order?

Possibly. It'll be someone danceable like them or Hot Chip or something.

EDIT: though they've no need to hold either of those back. I dunno.

The Chemical Brothers? Thom Yorke's Tomorrow's Modern Boxes?

Edited January 21, 2016 by Bort

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah something along those lines although I'd have thought New Order were more likely for Latitude. 

I keep chucking Justice out there but its just wishful thinking and they haven't announced anything yet so is probably a no-go. 

There's also the NOS announcement tomorrow, remember. From the way they're pushing it I'm guessing its a headliner or something more than just a single underact which they've been happy to drip-feed unannounced before.

Chems are doing SW4 in August 

[dentalplan]

It probably will actually be someone tying in with Primavera. Some big dancey type act that's not been touring of late like Justice as Matt mentioned or The Knife or something.

Is that really 'huge' news?

I've a feeling it's Kraftwerk or Morrissey.

[calaix]

Good thinking. Maybe Massive Attack?

[the wonderwhy]

Moz ain't going to be doing the Saturday. Kraftwerk... maybe? 

We'll find out soon anyway

All announcements are 'huge' according to the festival that's dishing 'em out.

[calaix]

'Huge news' could of course be marketing hyperbole and it might be Toploader
