Having seen the national last year headlining I can say with comfort they aren't a headliner for this level of festival.

Unless their new album is a new direction my mind won't have changed. I'll still go see them at mad cool cause I've yet to hear 'about today' live.

But they're not a headliner like QOTSA are a headliner. 

Good headliners for small and mid tier indie festies though. Like down the rabbit hole and forbidden fruit.

Even the war on drugs are more of a headliner than the national.

The War on Drugs literally subbed the National at APE last year and played below them at Primavera the day before. Do you mean you just preferred their performances/their music?

Having seen them headline at separate events even with my personal preference towards the national I have come to the conclusion that the war on drugs are more of a worthy headliner than the national.

Both performed well and the national imo have better songs but I felt with the war on drugs I actually watched a headliner.

 

Kinda when I first saw Bon Iver. Same level as the national but only one of them felt like a headliner. Bon Iver.

Draw from that what you will, its entirely subjective of course.

MC's post on Facebook with the Bon Iver quote ""It might be over soon, soon, soon"" is disturbing

Do you think that is relating to the wait time for another announcement or ticket sales might be over soon? Still haven't bought my ticket yet.

I'd say they're more likely to be hinting at an announcement. If tickets were running low they'd post something explicitly about that I reckon.

Not expecting, but I do have a good feeling about today!

Same. I do think we'll get something today or tomorrow based on payday, other fest announcements and possibly that hint.

Florence not playing TRNSMT, bad news for us and Nos Alive.

I was thinking it indicates the opposite of bad news but are you saying you don't like her and she is playing MC and/or NOS or have I misunderstood?

[Rico_Pliskin]

Caught her at BBK last year. Not a fan of seagull screeching.

Massively overrated imo.

There's a lot better female headliners out there.

I see. Well if Florence gets announced for the Thursday I think we can at least all agree that day is absolutely stacked in terms of the stature of the acts. We'll be looking at a main stage rotation of something like (Tash or a smaller act) > The Hives > Iggy Pop > Noel G > Florence > Bon Iver > Vampire Weekend > Chem Bros. Huge.

True, actually I'm not too worried now I think if it, I imagine there will be something nice on a smaller stage at the same time. 

Very excited for vampire weekend.

Damn that would be awesome. Flo > Bon Iver would be two of my ten favourite acts of all time back to back. I've never seen two bands who I love that much back to back, and then the National are also a top 10 favourite as well! Could be a special few days.

You don't want them back to back tho, with two alternating main stages it's impossible to get a good spot for both...

True. Worth considering that the scrapping of the huge VIP areas will help a lot though.

I meant they are the acts I'll see back to back. You're right, you could use a buffer in between!

[The Martini Police]

Could've done without a tweet about The Cure's album anniversary at exactly 11am. Nice one Mad Cool lads.

You had my interest, now you have my attention.

How do you know he's not playing. I thought he wouldn't but have you seen something official?

Is this based from the dates listed on the pearl jam website or has it been said somewhere else that London is the last date?
