Reckon The Levellers might be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Can see it being belle and Sebastian and basement jaxx as headliners. Both seem to be doing the rounds and would fit the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramragon Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Seems odd that the Waterboys and Tom Odell are headlining ahead of Example Think it's more of a dj set after the burning of wickerman. They tend to have headliners both Fri an sat then set the Wickerman on fire around midnight and have a big main stage dj set afterwards to finish the festival off.

He would have been good in a Saturday afternoon slot like Jake Bugg a couple of years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
