DDave Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Dietediet said: But why anticipate an announcement like this when other festivals already stole your thunder regarding the 'shock value' of the announcement?ย My bet is on a single name announcement of an act that hasn't got any (European) tour dates as of yet. Primavera did one act-announcements before, but usually those were big surprises (like The Strokes in 2015). I'd say the same but the amount of bands it could be is a very small number..Gorillaz, Daft Punk, Arctic Monkeys spring to mind. 7 minutes ago, RaphPH said: Imagine if it WAS Daft Punk. ย (It won't be) If it's not them, I think we can write off 99% of any hope we've got of them playing anywhere next year.

ZXCVBNM Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 If they wanted to announce an act that wasn't playing any other festival, then let's hope they finally got Missy Elliott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hates touring, but will do it for the big bucks (Bestival 2015). Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bort Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Really hoping for a surprise reunion announcement, like when Pulp was announced a couple months before the whole lineup.ย R.E.M., anyone? Their social media has been super active lately for a disbanded group. Plus there have been rumors for other fests, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nod.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a pretty big band to come out of retirement. Much bigger than LCD for instance, who everyone knew was returning. Gabi did say there would be a reunion though and unless it's someone who's already reunited eg. the Yeah Yeah Yeahsย or Eric B & Rakim I've no idea who it might be.

beatkeeper Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Ha. ย You can easily work it out by looking at the countdown - it ends at 10AM UK time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weston24 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) I thought that but I think Orens is right now as the twitter account said it was 12 hours but in the UK the site said 13 hours which can't be right as there will only be one announcement time so they must not have made the timezone adjustment. Plus the last announcement was 9am UK/10am Spain. Edited November 30, 2016 by weston24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
