UndergroundSound Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) The day splits for the acts announced last night are on the website. Do we reckon Turbowolf or Arcane Roots could headline the second stage on the Thursday? Either of those would be great for me.

theramm Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Stage splits are on there too if you click on the act. All the Thurs bands are mainstage so far. Creeper look to be headlining The Cave & HifH headlining The Axiom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinmjgh Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Conspiracy theory 101. Frank Turner just released tour dates. If you pre-order the album before end of Tuesday then you get a code to enter the pre-sale for gig tickets. Could this timing be the reason behind the next announcement being on Wednesday? Long shot I know :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Punk Sucks Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Wonder if maybe they'll have Creeper opposite Enter Shikari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cave doesn't oppose the main stage. It'll be the axiom headliner that oppose Shikari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed this is looking great for me too, just checked out He’ll is for Heroes and Turbowolf and they’re also quality along with the rest of the lineup. Enter Shikari or Neck Deepcon wednesday would be great. Just an fyi, the alternative to ATDI will probably be only either comedy or whoever is on in the Forrest (and even then it tends to be a very small arts, though it's super chill and I'd recommend it if you don't want to see ATDI). I reckon they're just replacing one either The Axiom or The Cave and alternating acts as they normally do. I still think they want to keep the Thursday a bit smaller. Also I need to listen to Hell Is For Heroes and I saw Turbowolf the first Trees I went too. They were good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh ok I see thanks, I think I will probably spend a bit of time at everything that's on Thursday night with some drinks to get a feel for everything and that. Do you definitely recommend Trees over something like Truck fest? Seems like the perfect festival for me overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been Truck so I can never really say but I've only heard good things about it. Though, one or two people I know who went last year said that it felt a bit different too previous years. It was taken over by Global last year (or the year before I'm not sure but it was their first year running it I believe) and they said you could tell. Trees is still an independent festival it still prides it self on it. It feels may more down to earth and the people running love to do it. I say have a look at both line ups and see what you really prefer but if it's pretty even I'd say do Trees. If you can do both then I'd recommend that you do but if it was between Truck or Trees I'd pick Trees any day but that's just me. Also you can take your own drinks around the arena (well the arena and campsite are integrated together which is cool) which is plus over Truck I guess 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As said previously, they wont directly clash but the mainstage headliner (if it's Shikari that day) will start pretty much immediately as Creeper finish.

Apart from the take-your-own-drink plus point, and the general atmosphere, the other selling point is the Forest Stage, where many of the bands from the other stages play acoustic sets in, as the name suggests, a forest. They really ramped up the forest stage last year, running it on all three nights and getting most of the high-up acts playing it. There are also late night 'Camp' stages where again you'll get acts (usually from lower down the bill) playing extra sets. Oh and it's got the Cheese Truck too ...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndergroundSound Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 assuming tomorrow's headliner is Shikari, who we thinking for the third? Frank Turner? Neck Deep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Frank's got a July sized gap in his tour dates I think, wouldn't shock me if it was him now Gaslight are probably ruled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrinald Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) In my opinion, I would say the potential options in order of likelihood are probably: Neck Deep Frank Turner Frightened Rabbit Wolf Alice Edited January 30, 2018 by Andrinald Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's not necessarily 100% that they won't but they've already gone and announced UK dates. Don't see why they wouldn't have announced the headline slot with it if they were doing it.

DomDom1984 Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 The Brian Fallon thing might still be true of course. He's doing at least one festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Can definitely see Fallon playing, just think Gaslight's chances have gone down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFoxx Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Not sure how likely Neck Deep are with the prominent Download slot (aren't they headlining third), can see them being on exclusive for that as part of Download trying to diverse a bit and target younger people with the avalanche stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bigger act than ATDI who were touted as 'the biggest US headliner we've ever booked'. I think Brian Fallon will be there though.

Pop Punk Sucks Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Didn't Twin Atlantic headline Trees and sub 2nd stage Download in the same year? Wouldn't rule Neck Deep out for that reason. Guess might be DL not so keen now they've got Avalanche and trying to get that demo, but in a year when they've got Guns and Roses will they really care?
