2016 Festival Predictions (2nd Announcement)

[JSmurphy]

Announcement is coming at some point on Thursday 28th Jan.

Thought I'd set up a specific thread specifically for announcement predictions to avoid the 2016 being flooded over the next day or so. If anyone's looking to make a points system then feel free, but not taking it too seriously is fine too! Try to get all posts / edits done by Wednesday night!

To give an idea of what we'll probably get, over the past two years the second announcement has consisted of the following: 

2014 - Arctic Monkeys (Headliners), Warpaint (NME), Pusha T (1xtra), Royal Blood (NME), The 1975 (NME), SBTRKT (NME), You Me At Six (Main), The Courteeners (NME), Netsky (Dance), Annie Mac (Dance), Krept & Konan (1Xtra), Issues (Pit), Hozier (FR), Architects (Pit)

2013 - Biffy Clyro (Headliners), Foals (Main), Jake Bugg (NME), Fall Out Boy (Main), SOAD (Main), BMTH (Main)

So try to aim for a headliner, then 8-13ish other acts across a variety of stages.

No chance in Bloc Party yet, still loads of tickets to sell on their tour and OMAM did that pretty much last time.

Be VERY lucky to get ATDi and ADTR on whole lineup, let alone the same announcement. Can't fault optimism though.

[Marvelous_Slut]

Idk who I think the headliner will actually be tomorrow - So I'll say G'N'R for shits and giggles

Two Door Cinema Club (Main or headline NME)

Sum 41 (Main or headline Lock Up)

Imagine Dragons (Main)

Glassjaw (Lock Up)

Chvrches (Main or Headline NME)

(a few dance/1Xtra artists that I don't know about)

[Biogeneric]

I'm surprised that more people aren't predicting Greenday given that sly (but almost too obvious) tweet.

[seanz25]

Gun's N Roses 
Weezer (Main)
Sum 41 (Main or NME Headline)
Frank Carter

Alternatively they'll have Green Day headline and book Weezer and Sum 41 on same day on main and do a 'pop-punk' day similar to how they've done similar genre band day's the past two years or so.
