Xfm's Winter Wonderland: Who's it gonna be?


   So my favourite part of the year... when XFM is just about to announce who is headlining their famous 'Winter Wonderland'. I know it gets announced tomorrow, but i'm still sat here in excitement trying to guess who it is.
   The London and Manchester shows have brought some exciting new acts, and legendary headliners over the past few years. Manic Street Preachers, Chase and Status, Kaiser Chiefs, The Wombats, The Cribs and Bombay Bicycle Club are just some of the treats that XFM have wrapped up and given to us in the past. Every year seems to get better, and i'm sure this year they won't disappoint. But who will it be?
   This year will be my 4th year in a row, right back to 2009 when the almighty Cribs headlined, cramped up at Manchester Academy 1, then seeing The Wombats the following year (not forgetting Bombay, The Futureheads and many others). I didn't think it would get much bigger, but last year proved me wrong. Although the line-up wasn't as good, it felt like XFM had become a massive figure in radio, and rightly so.
 
   Normally I have some sort of clue to who I think is going to play, but this year i'm left to sit here thinking of impossible outcomes and wishful thoughts. So I guess i'll have to wait till 8 o'clock tomorrow, and i'll be eagerly sat next to my radio, hopefully jumping about when I hear the news. Do other people really get this excited?
