Dan has really chucked this whole thing in the air but I agree with @The_Ledgerwood I don’t think BMTH would turn down headlining( all signs say they have but who knows) and I think LG would co

Stormzy-BMTH/LG-MCR??

Biffy are in Germany August, Eminem playing Sziget.

I reckon Biffy Clyro, Liam Gallagher and Eminem

[Dan Wilcox]

Apparently LG was meant to be a co-head with Halsey.

Wow. 

 

There's definitely a co-headline somewhere but this wouldn't be the one. 

"your first headliner" is how they've billed Liam so definitely more than 3.

[Matt42]

That has to be a troll. In what world is Halsey in theory big enough to headline a UK event which is trying to shift 80,000 tickets?

im pretty sure halsey doesn’t even sub festivals in America

She’s massive tbf. I’m predicting her to be there but as a third down, sub at a push. Co-headlining seems excessive. 

[ob123]

@Dan Wilcox Any idea when we can expect some kind of announcement mate? Still looking at end of Feb?

Apparently turned it down/couldn't get her.

Not too long at least. Which might explain why you’re leaking some info then

Couldn't get Halsey but got RATM & Stormzy? 

I have a suspicion Dan's just having fun with us 😂

Hayley Williams getting a fat slot in her place would be decent.

R&L could conflict with other dates she has lined up elsewhere. It’s not unbelievable.

Not really. What one person considers depressing might entice someone else to buy a ticket. I would assume those that buy tix before the line up is released just enjoy the experience regardless or would be satisfied regardless of the individual acts. 

Exactly I bought my Ticket in December, because I want to experience something different every show

[Fuzzy Afro]

I believed everything this Wilcox chap was saying until he said Halsey was going to co-headline. 

[Matt42]

What’s the point in having her coheadline with Liam Gallagher though? Is she really someone that people would part serious money with to see here?

Maybe I’m out of touch but I never thought Halsey would ever be in contention to headline a UK festival. Her success in America doesn’t really translate here at all.

Touring until June. 

Leaves her free. Can't see her turning a big slot down. BMTH subbed by Halsey. 

 

The amount of people that have "turned down" slots when it's the year for them to promote stuff seems excessive.

Touring until June at the moment. There could be stuff in the pipeline that hasn’t been announced yet. 

Some bands prefer doing their own shows over festivals. Look at all of the bands this year who are over here within a month or so of Download who could headline there and were probably approached but seemingly turned any offers down to do their own thing.

Dan defo winding us up with this Halsey one lads 😂

Dan has never really told us the problems they've had with booking acts in the past though, he usually just drops the lineup, the amount of acts he's said have turned down slots could be a small number compared to previous years we just don't know what the booking process is like

I remember thinking that when he told us that FOB were headlining outright and Panic! coheadlining with Kendrick back in 2018.
