Thanks! With this plus the acoustic stage I've got plenty of research to do before I can come anywhere close to nailing down a schedule

I'm guessing, going by where he was on the poster, D'Angelo was actually due to sub the Pyramid, and Tame Impala were a late draft-in to replace him. 

it certainly looks that way, but i find it hard to believe. Tame Impala seem weird enough subbing and are quite a small act to do it, but D'Angelo? would half of the field have even heard of him before? that Pyramid field would be an absolute deadzone of people wondering what the fuck is going on and looking at their watches whilst waiting for Adele. we've heard a few rumours that a West Holts headliner pulled out - surely that was D'Angelo!?

I'm not necessarily thrilled with the new acts - I'll be seeing a few of them for sure - but it's more the timetable that has made me really chuffed. 

  • LCD Sunday (AND getting 90 mins!!)
  • Garfunkel playing a bit earlier than I expected, eliminating the New Order Clash
  • Wolf Alice on Saturday instead of Friday
  • Daughter not clashing with loads of people
  • Jagwar Mar b2b with Kurt Vile

From the assumptions I was working from previously, I've now gained about 4 acts that I didn't expect to see. Great stuff. Clashes are FAR better for me this year than last.

Definitely. Easily the best of the main stages.

It's funny - we saw three acts back to back there last year on the Saturday, and could well be doing the same agian this year!

AH! Just realised WA clash with Jagwar Ma. Ah well, Wolf Alice can take a hike. Seen them an obscene amount of times. :P

I'm happy with the whole line up although I was with the initial poster so I knew by today I would be even more happy that's even with considering the acts that aren't there.

From the new additions I'm happy with;

Tame Impala, Squeeze,  Catfish (yeah shoot me),  Band of Skulls, St Paul and broken bones, Michael Kiwanuka, Mystery Jets and Kwabs. There's a few more from West Holt's that I like but I get the names mixed up.

Only had a quick look and there's quite a few clashes or not clashes but no time to move from one stage to the next which in some ways is worse than a full on clash.

Personally I think previous years 2nd drop has been better and this includes just a lot of filler. Pyramid is weakest I have seen in a while and Other bar Sunday for me isn't great at all really.

Know what u mean. I'm being very random with my selections this year due to it too! (Which isn't a bad thing). 

not many festivals where I can see Foals, Coldplay, Adele, Bootleg Beatles, TLSP and DJ Luck and Mc Neat

Squeeze and C Duncan the two stand out additions for me. Poss The Alarm too.

Tame Impala subbing? Really? Don't think they're that good, had no idea they were that big. Ah well, shows how out of touch I really am.

3 of mine are clashing Sunday so starting the 1st one and either staying or leaving is all I can do. That might even be an on the spot weather decider but I think missing CATB is the way it'll go. I might get a ticket for them in Coventry in November.

I think the missing Ashcroft has out a downer on it, too many now on here to be believed that dont happen....it's not close to 90% sure now. The Coral too....but I guess we all just assumed they would be there so I can't moan at that really, I just don't like enough to bother with a full ticket for them.

Just like Beck, they aren't. It's a weak Pyramid.
