man, a festival does come to the area and people are already bitching and the whole lineup isnt even out yet!
jeeeez
jeeeez
Virgin Music Festival @ Pimlico
Fair enough, the preemptive bitching is probably uncalled for but holding up the line-up in order to add another headliner (admittedly only a rumour) is rather silly. Coachella added Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Kanye West, and Madonna AFTER the rest of the line-up had been announced weeks earlier. Putting aside your personal opinion about any of those additions, is there really anyone out there bigger or more desirable than any of those acts - that's worthy of holding up this announcement? Publish the damn thing so we can bitch in earnest!
I heard that if the the festival sells out quickly, they are going to change the start time and add a second festival the same night.
but you have to admit that hype is part of a large festival. one that has been running for years, like Coachella, can announce acts later on without worrying about people losing interest in the original lineup and such.
a first time gig like this needs to come out strong and have a good initial ticket selling, i think.
if this "other band" is enough to delay announcing the lineup, they better be good.

golf clap for ggw :D
The timing of a festival announcement is huge, as is who is playing it. For example, we have some confirmed bands for the DAM! Festival but it wouldn't help us to announce it until we get a couple of headliners on board. Maybe they are trying to maximize the impact of the line-up.
Or they lost some permits or something and the whole damn thing is in jeopardy.

This DAM Festival sounds good :)
Are you going to book national acts or strictly local bands?

All you're doing is buying a single fan club membership on-the-spot.
I was having some tea with James Iha and he said the Pumpkins will be playing Pimlico…
i think we can conclude that the Who have definitely been asked to play and they are almost certainly the band holding up the works here.
they may not play, but it wont be for lack of trying.
man that would just be the coolest thing on earth.
