Wild Fields has already returned. Just announced.

Nice additions. Lineup was look a little weak at the top end, but that helps.

Come Out Ye Black & Tans is a banger, for sure.

The earlybirds were £45, so assume £50 or £55?

That's a pretty solid 8/10 lineup to me. Nice work.

This looks great. The one in Manchester one is usually A+ on the lineup. Not 100% sure on this years, but still a fan. They've got one in Edinburgh too, so guess this is the Southern one. Can see it doing well in Brighton. https://www.brightonpsychfest.com/

Richard Hawley or Human League was my guess. Pulp are too big for this, I'd assume.

Milburn must've had a fair few there when they played Don Valley in 2016 or 2017? But I think that was about £20. I know inflation has been a bit much lately, but that's quite a hike...

There's lots of ways down from Euston to Crystal Palace and back. Crystal Palace runs various train routes and is on the Overground. Easiest route is probably get the Northern Line from Euston to London Bridge, which is 6 stops/12 minutes. Then a train direct from London Bridge to Crystal Palace every 30 minutes. That train takes 22 minutes. There's a few other ways too, so if you missed the train you'd have options.

No chance. They're in another stratosphere in terms of tickets sales compared all those listed.

Spotify isn't a great indicator, but you're right - Becky Hill plays arenas, Self Esteem doesn't. It should do a bit better, although it is surprising a Self Esteem hometown show didn't do very well.

A bit underwhelming.

SLIFT feels likely now they've signed to Sub Pop and have a bigger profile. They were amazing at WA.

Them or maybe Mac DeMarco would be my guesses. Not big enough to headline, but Parquet Courts would be nice too.

insta generation type? She's nearly 40!

They'll be some "cheap" seats, but those will be extremely limited. The bulk will be ~£100 I reckon.

It was awful. We left early on because of it. Wasn't much better for Oneohtrix either. Just too quiet and flat. It's a nice festival. It felt a little busier than previous years, which isn't great as a punter, but it's a positive sign for the festival. Queues to get in were daft around 2pm. Security guy said Dice barcodes weren't scanning and stuck their customers in some sort of festival prison while they got that sorted, then they couldn't let anyone in until some ambulances arrived. Decent food and beer choices, and the fact I only live 10-15 minutes away makes it a more pleasant experience. Lineup was a bit disappointing for me personally, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

Yeah, Oneohtrix, Los Bitchos and Osees aside, really doesn't have much else jumping out this year. Probably going to take a pass for the first year so far. I think RALLY looks more exciting this year.

Got mine OK. Hope it does well. Was wildly refreshing to buy a ticket for a festival and it's just one kind of ticket and not a million extras!

Thought this looked quite similar to Wide Awake? Quite like the idea of loads of smaller bands and a few mid-size acts "headlining" all in one place in London. Squid, Princess Nokia, caroline, Kelly Lee Owens, Wu-Lu, Leon Vynehall, Obongjayar. Not bad for £20. Especially if a few more names turn up. I think that £20 price is for pre-sale only, then it's £25. Can sign-up here... https://rallyrallyrally.co.uk/signup

That seems pretty strong.

It doesn't feel like a "big" lineup, but I really like it. I think it's just more signs of bookers struggling a bit this year. Divorce are fantastic though. A bit like Big Thief, but with bigger choruses.

They played it in 2021, so not sure they'll play the festival itself again for a while.

I reckon in London they'd do 8-10k and outside London they'd 5k-6k. They'd maybe do those arenas, but with seating tarped off.

Quite! But they're not academy level was my point. Hopefully it's a strong undercard for their sake.
