Reading and Leeds will be thrilled.

Especially as they have billed Kasabian as a UK fest exclusive lol?

[kingcrawler]

I was hoping for slightly better but reckon I'll end up going for the full weekend, at least a couple of acts each day I quite like and still more to be filled out.

[Thrillhouse]

I'll probably go on the biffy day and as much as I'd like to see Radiohead I don't think I could justify it paying for two days

BST do festival exclusives though. So you don't have a point there. As for your last point... lol

What do you mean?, it doesn't matter that BST do, I'm saying it's as much a fest as BST....it's all day tickets. I say Scotland because it's miles away from Leeds or Reading.

No it's not, you can get 3 day tickets and 2 day tickets.

Oh you're right. Must not be in the UK then.

[DomDom1984]

I'm actually considering tickets for the Friday tbh. Looks really good and another addition as a sub like FF or Foals would help a lot.

There are 2 day / package deals for BST for the days that don't sell well, closer to the festival to be fair. 

[Stuielooie]

What's the thought on ticket prices? 

Edit: I'm an idiot

I'm surprised by how strong the Biffy undercard is. Wouldn't surprise me if it's the quickest to sell out.

[SG87]

Decent ticket prices I think. £150 for full weekend is cracking.

Geoff Ellis has said there's going to be a second King Tuts stage for new bands, he also said how much he loves Radiohead despite not booking them for over 20 years

Just the one main stage and a new talent stage then :-( Looks like not too many more bands to be announced.

 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Will get a ticket for Friday, two of my favourite bands back to back. Not fussed about the rest though

Yeah Rag'N'Bone Man and London Grammar one after the other, who'd have thunk it?

Is this the majority of the lineup or can we expect a few more acts for each day? I was hoping it'd have at least 2 stages, like the setup for Big weekend.

Seems to be one main stage then a much smaller tent so i'd expect a few more established names for each day but that's it.

[supreme]

We thinking 1975 will get a longer set as their classed as special guests or a standard sub slot?

It's a dream come true.

Ah okay, still...one main stage and a much smaller stage isn't a festival really.

?, The 1975 are a sub, TDCC aren't bigger than to be 3rd, Twin Atlantic just disappear  and Blossoms 5th down main.

[cammie81]

Friday only it is then.

[devilman]

Well I like the headliners but I've overdosed on 2 of them recently and don't like the undercard for Radiohead. Still might consider a Friday ticket but I'd rather drive past it all for Leeds to be honest.

Despite their words of this isn't T etc it just feels like T. It's the inaugural event and it's already washed up and repetitive. Still I hope it does well as they might get something decent in coming years.

[Chiefski]

It's not so much a T replacement but an early in the Summer Sessions weekender isn't it? I like the majority of the announcement though and will probably go on Friday and maybe Sunday. Speaking of the Summer Sessions, will they still happen with this on?
