Thought I'd start this as I like to see at least one act in the Dance tent every year.

Sacked off The Offspring for Nero last year & Sub Focus > Magnetic Man the year before were brilliant.

Do we get any Dance tent acts in the first announcement or is it like the Lock Up where it comes a bit later?

Anyone got any ideas who might crop up this year? What with Creamfields on its a bit limited but personally I would love to see Brookes Brothers.

Can see one big dubstep DJ there (I think Skream! but maybe Benga, Rusko etc).

Modestep should be there in some form... DJ set or Live, would much prefer the latter.

I'm only really clued up on D&B at the moment.

It comes later.

Modestep is deffently a good shout, supprissd they didn't play last year to be fair,

[iPaulo xD]

I hope that knife party will headline it, skrillex is too big for the dance tent now, would like to see modestep,

[Banana Co]

M83, Mac Miller, Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip or possibly just Scroobius Pip doing his solo stuff.

M83 I need to listen to. Never heard of them before being announced for Coachella!

seeing as pip had a a solo album out late last year its probs more likely it'll be him on his todd

[evilduck]

I'm always rubbish at predicting who will play the dance tent as I know bugger all about D&B and Dubstep. I enjoyed Crystal Fighters and Simian Mobile Disco last year though, and M83 this year would be lovely.

i reckon modestep and knife party are strong possibilities. skrillex as well, but as mentioned he might be too big.
the 2 bears could also play, same with rusko, he's got a new album coming out in march or so.
maybe flux pavilion as well, he was supposed to play last year or something but didnt in the end.
i think m83 will play in the nme tent, i always see nme banging on about them.
miike snow have a new album as well and they were supposed to play in 2010 but pulled out, they're a possibility as well imo.

Rusko was popular a few years back as people left Paramore/Blink 182.
Would love to see 2 Bears & would be relatively popular.
Flux Pavilion is a good shout.
Think Miike Snow would now be in the NME tent mid afternoon.
I can see (hope) a few acts from this making it to R&L this year...

[Vacant0]

My mate went to that on a free ticket - said it felt like going to an Oasis gig.

[RDCL]

tbh the only acts i can see at r/l from that poster are the top 4, and theyve all been mentioned. cant really think of any dubstep/dnb act who would be big enough to play, apart from flux pavilion and maybe netsky who haven't played before.

[Vieuphoria]

I want Aphex Twin. Won't happen but I want it badly.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Mosca
TEED
Madeon
Rustie
Azari & III
2 Bears
Blackmill
Bloody beetroots
Joker
Knife party
Redlight
Feed Me

Can't see any of them happening apart from knife party unfortunately.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

In regards to the hosiptality types acts.. I think hospitality have taken their nights as far as they can go. It seems to be pretty much the same acts every time, wouldn't mind seein someone besides netsky and london electricity for the thousandth time.
Pretty much what i'm trying to say is the dance tent doesnt have to transform into a night you can catch in most cities multiple times a year

You're right, but the DJ's there do put the effort into changing & updating their sets. I believe Netsky is going live this April & has auditioned live instrumentalists.

Would love to see Camo & Krooked storm the tent.

Do you know what this HC presents "The Agony & The Ecstasy" is?

Would love to see something similar to NASS's Second Indoor Arena.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

The agony and the ecstasy is the name of high contrasts forthcoming album.

I don't know what to think of dj's going 'live', i've always preferred chase and status in the dj set form (still got a lot of time for their live show) but maybe that's because you get to see them do this in smaller venues/ club nights with better atmosphere. That said I am very intrigued to see netsky's live show.

D&B wise sigma, breakage and friction are really doing  it for me lately

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

This is probably the soul reason I'd love to see the bloody beetroots

would be so much fun.

Agreed. Baltimore & All Blue are two of my all time favourite liquid DnB.

I'll throw in S.P.Y. (By Your Side + Logistics remix is epic), Brookes Brothers always put on a decent DJ set & Drumsound & Bassline Smith are good live too despite releasing some chart friendly stuff at the moment.

Managed to see Friction & the later 2 I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, it was grimey.
