Great news, thanks!

There will be a lot of overlap, I stupidly didn't go see them both in Manchester so got a pretty big decision to make Low on the mainstage in daylight is weird scheduling imo

I'm 99% sure that the William Malin tweeting the fest is our man lessthanwill-so I guess he's ok just efested out?

Look in the terms but my guess would be no. I've volunteered a few times and it's a good way of doing the festival.

My guess is still a closing set on the mainstage on Saturday night by Bicep after Beach House

I’m personally hoping for Beach House/Low clash….. Or Low/Kraftwerk. Basically not Low/Kiwanuka

They've said no official resales but I guess it's all up in the air because of Covid. You might find a lot of people who rolled their tickets over decide against it but there's no guarantees. It's 25,000 and feels quite a bit busier that EOTR tbh, not the actual site but some of the traffic on the main thoroughfares etc

I guess they were booked well before the split, don't think their new set up warrants such a high spot

Can't believe nobody predicted that! Although really not bothered about Kraftwerk overall very happy with the lineup

Today's the day! My very last minute prediction Little Simz, Low Alex G Murder Capital Beach House Arlo Parks Parquet Courts Art school girlfriend Penelope isles Newdad

All I want is Low and Little Simz don't care about the rest

He's in Europe in June then his next date is in the US on the 27th/28th of August so I'd say it's quite unlikely he plays here

They've put a ticket warning out on social media for anybody on the fence

I got an early bird then got kicked out when I de-selected the charity donation ffs

Yeah think sell out timing is impossible to predict

The incubation period of the delta variant is still around five days so if you're not symptomatic by Saturday you're probably ok. Interestingly Green Man only reported 71 cases linked to the festival, which is much lower than community transmission.

Would be very surprised if Michael Kiwanuka didn't headline along with SFA as it's both theirs and GMs 20th anniversary. Mac Demarco was a weak/uninspired booking imo so hope he isn't back. Would love a female headliner as there hasn't been once since 2017. Would personally love Phoebe Bridgers

I worked it a couple of times and the miserly allowance was introduced to try and get people to spend money at the bar which they weren't doing due to all the drugs being consumed. The festival also had a big crime problem but the main issue was that it lived and died with the weather, if it was sunny it was the best festival in the world, if it rained the ground disintegrated in five minutes and I just sat in my tent.
