No they wouldn't but they might have done on a draft poster from a few days back.

Really, would they send draft versions like that to bands/managements close to announcement day? And why? I probably don't now half of what is going on behind the scenes, just interesed.

Right now I would go with 'fake', but close enough.

I'd love to believe it's real (Mike D - yayyyyy!), but Stranger Things soundtrack on two days? John Talabot two years in a row (wouldn't mind AT ALL, but would be too good to be true...)? And I thought we'd ruled out Haim, too.

John Talabot is always there.

Oh cool, fine with me then!  Hadn't realised he was one of the regulars, too - well, I've only "discovered" him last year, so not paid attention before.

Another typo, it's Oneohtrix Point Never not Oneothrix Point Never  

Good spots, all. Well now I'm not sure.

But design wise and in particular band-wise - it looks super believable.  I cannot believe an average fan can put together something so coherent.

Suspect it's based on having seen the actual poster.

There’s no real big surprise here which makes me think it’s fake, otherwise why so much secrecy bullshit and hand wringing with the line up reveal?

Mike D is DJing at a festival in Ireland on Saturday/Sunday, so quite likely he'll be at PS.

Daphni appears twice

*IF* it is the actual poster, what do we think?
Perhaps too predictable (unsurprising based on the sleuthing that's gone on here) but on the whole I'd say it's another classic, solid poster.

Yep, saw that, so that's why I'm hoping - regardless of this poster we have turning out to be real or not.

I love it. Only thing missing for me was Blanck Mass. .... unless I have missed him.

If this isnt real....its close. Depth is insane.

Maybe its an early draft but Mogwai and Waxahatchee seem too low down also  Cigarettes After Sex above The Breeders?

They are actually playing on Monday according to the website.

Sorry, read it wrong. 

[xxialac]

Charlotte Gainsbourg playing...and her mum too.

I didn't want to read the poster. Even if it turns out to be real, I want to be surprised. Reading your comments, it seems legit for the most part, but not too surprising. I expect something unexpected, hope to not be disappointed! 

[festivalguy97]

What about Beck? There´ve been a lot of people claiming that he´ll play and now he´s not on the poster.

[xxialac]

So conceivably/allegedly Idles' management have signed an NDA, they ask to see the poster and then the rest we know???

How? Like, one of the ten chosen people last month remembered as many acts as they could and turns out they remembered 200 or so acts?  People that create line up posters aren't people that know line ups, believe me.

It's not legit. Gaze upon it. Revel in it.

There were also a lot of rumours that he wasn't going to be making it and the dates were difficult with his planned tour.

There has been a lot of flip-flopping about Beck and I'm sure someone mentioned Gabi had a bad experience with him cancelling so might not book him again?

[Steph U]

sorry, last year... how can you delete posts? I only see the "edit"

Could either be an internal leak or a leak from Idles.

Every single other fake poster I've seen over the years has been an obvious fake. 

This looks the real thing.
