the chili peppers won't come into contact with any other band who's playing anyway - they're (well, kiedis is) the sort of cunts who'd insist the entire backstage area was cleared before they came on so they could be carried to the stage on their golden thrones
Some of my favorites: Metric, The Stone Roses, Blur, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, How to Destroy Angels, Stars, Tegan and Sara, Purity Ring, The xx, Phoenix, The Postal Service, New Order, Hot Chip, Bat for Lashes, Richie Hawtin, Wild Nothing, Booka Shade, Red Hot Chili Peppers, La Roux, OMD, Paul Oakenfold, Dinosaur Jr., Jessie Ware.
Phoenix headlining
Really excites me. Can't wait to see the production they must have lined up and the new stuff. I hope they're playing Brixton soon!
Sean - must be really tempted to travel this year? Phoenix, Postal Service AND Stone Roses!
Always interesting to see Huge UK acts
Near the bottom of the bill. -biffy clyro!
Think I'll be selling my ticket
Looks nowhere near as good as last year, think I'll just hit Primavera instead.
when
Did Phoenix become big enough to headline???
And I thought grinderman were over?
interesting
to see the return of La Roux - and the Faint playing; forgot they existed
i've been wondering that, with Primavera too
have they even released an album since 2009?
I remember asking this when they played Madison Square Garden 3 years ago
Even that (20,000 capacity?) venue felt like a stretch. Fair play to them though.
Phoenix are a deceptively large band
Hey... just in case you didn't notice.
Right there. Near the middle of day two.
VIOLENT FEMMES.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
..
OMD on the sunday!
THAT TOO
FUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I have no way of going to this (or interest really) but this news (and The Make Up still playing gigs) please me greatly. It's a good friday so far
Nick Cave on before the Chili Peppers :'''D
Makes sense to me
There might be some tension there though
given Cave's previous comments about the Chili Peppers.
oh come on
the chili peppers won't come into contact with any other band who's playing anyway - they're (well, kiedis is) the sort of cunts who'd insist the entire backstage area was cleared before they came on so they could be carried to the stage on their golden thrones
Yeah, tension was the wrong word
but you can see why having the two side by side on the bill would raise a smile.
Jurassic 5 are back
this pleases me
No Elmer Fuddpucker, though.
Or The Time.
I like that Earl Sweatshirt is billed as a solo artist
Hope that means he's going to do some more solo shows.
loads of big names but it just seems a bit dull
I just wish festivals would stop booking RHCP. Sure-fire way to kill a festival
dreadful
primavera is miles better and miles nearer
Disappointed Thee Oh Sees have become a trio
Three Oh Seas
Sees
Cassie :)

This reminds me of the Tumblr that got set up when Arcade Fire won Album of the Year at the Grammys
And it is just as fun.
Some really good artists this year
Some of my favorites: Metric, The Stone Roses, Blur, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, How to Destroy Angels, Stars, Tegan and Sara, Purity Ring, The xx, Phoenix, The Postal Service, New Order, Hot Chip, Bat for Lashes, Richie Hawtin, Wild Nothing, Booka Shade, Red Hot Chili Peppers, La Roux, OMD, Paul Oakenfold, Dinosaur Jr., Jessie Ware.
Would go for: Dinosaur Jr. Postal Service. Blur.
Would give less of shit about everything else.
oh
also polica, gaslight anthem
