Could the Kendal booking put Courteeners out of the running for this? They're pretty close to each other relatively speaking

I’m pretty sure Gerry Cinnamon is one of the headliners and take your pick from the likes of Bloc Party, Libertines, Courteeners etc for the other. I personally hope for Catfish & the Bottlemen but I’m not sure given Vanns current issues. 

Catfish got to be out just due to proximity to other shows, aren't they doing Heaton Park? Its not like its selling well either (i assume).

yeah its way too close, there's no chance

I’ve been having a think about this in excitement/anticipation of Fridays announcement. 
 

It seems nailed on Gerry is one headliner, I’m hoping they pull a cat out the bag and have either The Strokes or Biffy headline the other night.

 

Other acts I’d like to see on the bill include White Lies, The Cribs, Reytons, London Grammar, The Snuts, Bloc Party, Peter Doherty, Fontaines, The View, Yard Act, Red Red Club, Keane, The Lathums. 
 

I’m not asking for much am I? Ha.

Could they afford The Strokes?

Have they ever had a non British band headline?

[gfa]

Are the strokes about (not checked) - they have been touring constantly for a while now

The Strokes are more popular over here than they are in the States tbf. Indie music isn't at the heights as it once was but in America it's almost non existent. 

 

They'd be a good choice I think and would definitely help shift tickets. Seen them twice and thoroughly enjoyed both gigs.

Wasn't it always the case that The Strokes were more popular here than in America? Same with the likes of The Killers and Kings of Leon.
