Pixies were announced yesterday for Low Festival as a spanish exclusive for 2017.

Edit: I replied too fast and wrote the same than Hip Priest.

Puts a quick end to that one then

This a wishlist?

[gregory]

Because Alt-J are already playing Madrid the weekend before so they're unlikely

Oh I didn't know that, not a wish list , just a guess. Was probably top heavy anyway so you could probs sub them for TøP or chainsmokers

Soon, I've been told, but it's out of FIB's hands unfortunately, as to when the actual announcement can be made (I assume this is because the next headliner are making a number of other tour/festival announcements, or that the contract isn't currently all signed, sealed, delivered).

[gedkelly]

Signed , sealed , delivered !!!!!! Cryptic Stevie Wonder clue methinks Da Da Daaaaa

[the wonderwhy]

Frank Ocean to headline? 

Frank Ocean
Stone Roses
RHCP
Arcade Fire 

would be pretty good

Was just coming on here to say this, Lovebox date on 14 July so would be a good shout to be the Sunday headliner ala Kendrick Lamar

That would be a bloody ace line-up.  Not a massive FO fan, but prefer him to the likes of Major Lazor/Kendrick.  I still think we could see Chase & Status or Justice headline on Thursday night, especially the former.

Much better than last year IMO - I'm a massive fan of Skepta and a couple of others actually but the headliners were really poor for me.

[gregory]

I think Justice might be out of the picture, they're playing Sonar. 

Frank Ocean / The Weeknd
Stone Roses
RHCP
Arcade Fire / Killers / Strokes 

 

... would be fine by me (not a Stone Roses fan but you lot like them so enjoy)

Primavera announced http://www.primaverasound.es/2017_artists

Is there any ever crossover, or are all these artists out of the running? That'd mean no Frank Ocean & Arcade Fire if so...

Spanish festivals don't tend to share too many bands, particularly the headliners.

gutted- was really hoping for Arcade Fire to save it for me, FIB are going to have to pull something special out of the bag now.
