    I think Biffy/JEW/DCFAC are the huge support acts could be wrong.

    Would love to head over but if we get a gig we will would prob get Biffy aswell but doubt Jimmy or Death Cab.

    I think headlining Oxegen is much more likely than an outdoors show here.

    Oxegen headliners methinks.

    Those shows look class though. really good suited support for an FF show. Least we know what bands will be touring anyway.

    As much as i would love it , not sure they could sell out Slane although they would be unreal and will always steal the show imo. Although if they are given a big support act bill like slane 2009 (Prodigy/Kasabian/Glasvegas)

    That'll be a helluva gig!

    I'd love to see all 4 acts.. seen FF and DCFC already, but JEW and Biffy have been must-sees for me for a while now.

    From what i've been reading around the net this is going to be the only shows that the foo's will do next year!! Dont think they'll headline oxegen because they're not exactly touring!!

    There isnt a chance in hell im missing this concert!! Biffy as a support act should be good, not really mad about the rest of the bands but it shud be a feckin awesome show!!

    They're just finishing their next album. I'd be surprised if they don't follow up an album release in Spring next year with a tour in the summer.

    I'd be very suprised if they aren't one of the Oxegen Headliners (if they are doing a date in the UK 3 or 4 days before it).

    I'd guess that this will be with another big band (artic monkeys/arcade fire) and maybe a couple of Irish band ( two door cinema club?).

    I don't think he would book a band playing two stadium shows, but at download this year taylor hawkins was playing in the 4th tent and after the gig he said, we'll see you next year. Maybe they cancelled though. :)
