The Black

Could be just "... has been added to the line-up" without any notice of replacing Slowthai.

It's been the same with all other festivals. It's either the promotor that does not want to give him any promotion (even bad publicity gives extra attention) or his management requested to do it this way to avoid this negative attention. Both are plausible.

I know it's wishful thinking and I'm going to be in the minority, but I'd love for The Offspring to replace either Stromae or Slowthai. Wishful thinking as they have a substantial gap in their European tour which while it would be possible, it would seem to go against the break that they have planned. Furthermore, can't see them in the Barn, as they would demand main stage.

Stromae officially cancelled his entire tour... New headliner needed.

Like I said, no offense. One says cheeky, another says encouraging.

Haim playing a European exclusive gig in the UK... Should we tell them about Brexit guys?

I think they thought: "well, if Arctic Monkeys refuse to write any decent songs with a memorable hook anymore, I guess we'll have to..."

Viagra Boys, Joey Valence & Brae and The Offspring please.

Real shame about The Mars Volta...

Unless a switch needs to be made for a headliner, it's always the first days of July. I think you're out of luck because of Metallica. Still, it's Metallica!!

Stormzy? Oh no...

Guessing/calling it: Robbie Williams to be announced as headliner this Friday. Makes sense as he has a performance in Antwerp on Thursday and the remaining headliner according to Ken19 was to be announced at the end of January.

In all excitement I read "Pup" as "Pulp". Oh well, a few good names and unknown names for me to check out first.

There are some names that interest me, but for the rest it has turned into an influencer's paradise. The coachelle that booked AC/DC and Guns N' Roses is long gone...

Grabbed some Blur tickets for Lokerse Feesten 2023. 60 euro per ticket ain't bad.

Well, that's a day-ticket for Lokerse Feesten then. Massively excited I'll at least be able to see them again!

Go woke, go broke.

Jesus, RHCP again? I'm certainly not red hot about that annoucement. What a waste...

Evanescence seem like a possibility as well, or am I mistaken?

go woke = go broke

Those were actually last year's dates (reposted). Good to know!

One name that I don't see people speculating about (or might have missed) is The Weeknd.

Points well made.

Everybody keeps saying that The Strokes did not sell tickets. However, maybe all fans wanted to have weekend tickets and thus did sell tickets (just not many day tickets)? We were excited and we bought weekend tickets.
