Was hoping for this week but with bank holiday fast approaching I'm not so sure

Just had a response from Greetham Street student accommodation saying we can check in any time on the Friday.

Looks like we'll be in the same crowds most of the weekend

It's quite annoying for clashes. Looking at the headliners for Common and Castle alone they're very samey each night. Fri - Jamiroquai and Pete Tong Ibiza Classics Sat - Kasabian and Alt J Sun - Mumfords and Ben Howard Do we know if the 'electronic sets' are headliners for Beats and Swing? Clashfinder seems to suggest that but can't see it myself.

I have a decent list of acts to watch each day and wife is buzzing Mumfords are there as previously she wasn't too fussed about going. Phew! Looking forward to the future additions.

Bizarrely, we wrote them off as they were and according to their website are in USA that weekend...

Mumfords - Sunday Headliner!

Finally bought my tickets last night and booked accommodation at Greetham Street Uni Halls. Looking forward to a full weekend at Victorious rather than the odd day i've been doing over the years.

Placebo playing Rock En Seine on the Friday night. They could pop along for a headline show

The Walkmen announced for Green Man Festival the week before. I'd like them to show up on the weekend.

My main hope is The Prodigy - playing in Essex on the Saturday, pop to the Common on the Sunday!

Potential Headliners Paul Weller - Potential - not sure why he wouldn't have already been announced though. Richard Ashcroft - Potential - not sure why he wouldn't have already been announced though. Jamie T - Potential - makes sense not to announce yet due to poor tickets sales of Finsbury park. Prodigy - Potential - Originally an exclusive elsewhere but have since popped up as headliners at other festivals. Liam Gallagher - Potential - although he's 'currently' a Boardmasters exclusive. The 1975 - Potential - current tour dates go up to July. Florence - Doubtful - in Paris the night before. Kings of Leon - Doubtful - UK and Europe earlier in the summer. Wolf Alice - Doubtful - Not touring currently. The Strokes - Not Available - Playing Paris on the Sunday night. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Not Available - in Europe but would be a 4 gig run in different countries. Noel Gallagher - Not Available - in Ireland The many bands at Reading and Leeds - Not Available - unless Foals or Wet Leg want to do 3 nights on the trot. Any more to add to this?

Lots of crossover acts with Victorious and Big Feastival which takes place on same weekend. Their headliners are Sigrid, Tom Grennan and Blossoms. Joining them is Vaccines, Rick Astley, Example, Hot Chip DJ Set, Faithless DJ Set, Mel C, Freya Ridings, Katy B, Baby Queen, Alice Merton, New Hope Club, Cuban Brothers, Duke and more. Wondering whether we'll get Tom Grennan and or Rick Astley.

Looks like Annie Mac is doing both. Not sure what day she's doing the other

I am still hoping for this! They'd be a fine Sunday headliner. Dunno why they'd have been held back tho if it was them?

They're in America on Victorious weekend

According to the website a park and ride will be the alternative however no other news on it yet. The reasons behind the car park going are below...

Here's Just Park availability for the dates of Victorious. No idea what other things will be like i.e. shopping centre car parks etc but yeah, it's pretty well sold already

Would love for him to steal the gig potentially from his bro. OR....(never ever gonna happen) they both play. Same time, same stage, together maybe

Not been before. What time does the last band usually finish and what's the train like getting back to London?

That was my assumption. Potential of Weller or Gallagher headline the Sunday

Please note – Beabadoobee will no longer be performing.

I said this far too early. Upon more looking loads of names are jumping out at me.

Website updated. Not 100% sold on this from first look

Interesting Ben Howard is closing the Castle stage on Sunday night. I thought that would've been Sigrids slot.
