Depeche Mode have rather let the cat out of its proverbial bag: although organisers of this summer's Wireless Festival, held in London's Hyde Park, haven't yet revealed the initial line up, the three-piece have posted the event on the upcoming shows page of their website.
D'oh!
Last year's event, at which DiS had a stage, saw the likes of Kasabian and Keane play to a decent crowd, and this year's event promises to be even bigger since Glastonbury isn't on.
In other festival news, the word on the street is that Franz Ferdinand are one of the bands that'll headline the twin-site Carling Weekend, in Reading and Leeds. Muse have also been approached, and it's thought that Kaiser Chiefs, The Flaming Lips and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are to be among the groups making up the (probably main stage) numbers. Arctic Monkeys are expected to headline the second stage on one of the three days.
DiScuss: Okay, Franz and Muse... who do you want to see headlining the remaining main stage slot?
Gorillaz
despite
them saying that they cant afford til 2007?
and its ALWAYS
a decrepit rock great money sppinner
Sunday's METAL night though isn't it?
So it'll probably be System Of A Down or someone.
monkey see...
is it just me or is it the stupidest idea in the world putting the monkeys on the second stage? surely a main support on the main stage would make more sense?
.
I've heard that the monkeys will be 3rd from top on the main stage before the Kaisers and Franz.
I heard
The Strokes were headlining one of the nights
More importantly
Beautiful days is rumoured to have Pop Will Eat Itself, Jim Bob AND Fruitbat.
Wipes the floor with Franz fucking Ferdinand
booo
looks like leeds/reading will be very very shit then. i think i will smuggle in a gun and a bomb and attack the monkeys, kaisers and franz. how ironic, franz ferdinand death by shooting. . . . .again!
BEASTIE BOYS for the other night??
I think...
The Cure will do Reading this year.
If they don't do any Curiosa style gigs, it should tie in nicely.
You can't...
...really say that THIS early on. It's a 3 day festival with many stages.
Carling Weekend is always about quality new bands anyway innit...
Main stage is generally pretty shite.
My last comment...
...was meant to be a reply to the "Boo" comment. Damn board...
Led Zeppelin...
with Dave Grohl on drums. That would be sweeeeeeet.
When are people gonna realise that the Arctic's album is the SAME SONG 13 times? So over-rated.
I rekon..
Muse, Franz and The Strokes
And there
was me thinking that last year's Reading would be my last.
Look's like it'll be the 8th in a row for me. JOY!
Oh and who's got a big metal album coming out this year? No one. They'll probably get Muse for the Sunday. Failing that, Chilli Peppers maybe? (god i hope not)

Smashing Pumpkins...
...anyone?
muse muse muse
would be rather lovely
Get
Muse fucked off, along with Kaisers, and I'd be in love.
I hope Leeds tickets don't sell like fucking Glasto ones.
Arctic Monkeys headlining second stage?
Erm, Foo Fighters, 1995? That's really very silly of the organisers.
Apparently...
According to the Leeds rumour board The Strokes have been pulled from the headline because their album 'recieved a lukewarm reception' Cruel!
But Smashing Pumpkins, Ac/DC or Alice Cooper are rumoured for the first night (cock rock day). I'm holding out for the Pumpkins, personally. Can't decide if D'arcy or Melissa would be better.....hhhhmmmmm........
The Greatest Band In The World.
TENACIOUS D.
Bloody Franz Ferdinand....
well i always skip one of the headline acts.
AC?DC
Seriously, if the maiden can do it the AC/DC will absolutley kill it.
Pumpkins
I really am not to bothered about whos on the bass as long as that delightful Mr. Corgan is on stage. I will for give leeds for the past 2 years if they can get the Pumpkins! Franz Ferdinand should never get a headline slot, only 2 albums, both catchy but not f***in headline material. Lets see Beastie Boys Cure an SP!!
well its not oxegen!!!
if ye've any sense you'll go to oxegen instead, killer line up chilis the who franz kaiser chiefs arctic monkeys. wish pixies or qotsa would make a return but i doubt it
