Just been having a look... there's loads in Wales - sadly too far for me. Also a few at Scarborough, Piece Hall, Lytham, Derby summer sessions, Forest locations, South Facing... and Eagles for £40 at Coop Arena, if there's any chance it might go ahead!
Do you have a link for Lytham?
Bagged Eagles tickets which is a result as I was resigned to not going due to the price.

I didn't know if they were trying to bill Declan as a co-head with Paul Heaton which made the most sense to me. You do make a very good point though about someone possibly dropping out.
Still unsure how Keane aren't an outright headliner here/would be seen as weak when I would argue they're probably (other than NGHFBs) the strongest band on their in terms of ticket sales. Nearly sold out an entire UK arena tour, and had to add a second date at London's O2 due to demand (which still has tickets left but only in the Gods). But then I suppose they are subjective and and then that's where a whole different argument comes into it...
I'm guessing if Keane are playing but not headlining that they got booked before the arena tour was announced and sold better than expected.
Still hoping for Biffy, would make sense given they have more tickets to sell (and is more expensive) than y not/ truck.

Not sure if a real or a fake …
Possibly it's an early lineup seeing how they said all 5 headliners were being named.

Lineup is out on Thursday at 8am. How much crossover can we expect between y not and truck, surely they can't all have near identical lineups?

The Streets, Wet Leg (unfortunately), Noel G, Jamie T, Keane
Guess or leak?

I think foals will be another year when they have an album to promote, unless it's a one off show.
Would suede/ manics be an option? UK tour in July, not sure how big either is now.
Also, might be too big but kings of Leon, playing a one off day in July at the Silverstone race track.

You know, I have the same sense of feeling. The more I look back at that MCR show, the more I realise it was a greater moment than it was a show.
Is there any word on if they're coming back? I enjoyed it, but it felt like a nostalgia trip and not like they had anything new to offer.

I imagine it will be Paolo or Jamie, would be over the moon with either. Shame that it seems Biffy will be elsewhere though now, I would have loved that.
Do Biffy have anything lined up other than Victorious?

A bit weird we still dont have a poster, isn't it? 😂
It has been a while since last announcement either, i hope we'll get a new name this week
Did they confirm if Hozier is a headliner?
-
Noticed Kendal are active on the socials again in the new year.
Headline predictions: Biffy (Thursday upgrade), Keane, Libertines, Richard Ashcroft

There's still loads of great tunes since Sex on Fire. They haven't released a bad album, just not hit previous heights.
Agree with this, consistently releasing good music. Always felt a lot of people were alienated from the style change of the third to fourth album and then wrote the band off.
That being said, live they won't win any new fans. Very much, they turn up, play the songs and leave.

I know that a lot of people are understandably completely done with Kanye at this point, but gonna be interesting to see how the general public reacts to this, if it’s actually any good, and also what he’s rapping about here given the last we heard from him was spouting extreme nazi rhetoric on Alex Jones’ show.
Hard pass, MBDTF was fantastic, and Yeesuz was the last hurrah but it's 10 years on.
That being said, watch the throne tour, him and Jay Z, up there with the best of them!

I imagine madness can't do it due to playing lytham, are we likely to get names before Christmas?

UPDATE:
The National & The Gaslight Anthem - 24 June
Hozier & Paolo Nutini - 25 June
The Smashing Pumpkins - 26 June
No info for VB & Sleaford Mods
Where's this from? I would've thought hozier would have been announced as a headliner if he was headlining.
Qotsa are in Spain on 26th June, and the killers are in the UK so can be ruled out.

Yeah the 90's/00's were a goldmine for seeing bands who would go on to be massive for pennies. I paid seven quid to see Killers in Birmingham Academy 2 about 20 years ago, six for Arctic Monkeys in the same venue, four quid for Kasabian.... three future Glasto headliners for under 20 quid.
One hundred pound for the O2 is insane.
When the blink 182 tour got announced my first thought was robbing bast**ds, but really it was just the first of many.
A quick look and the killers don't seem to be flying out the door, I would be tempted with Travis as support, but a ton for a midweek gig is ridiculous.

Yeah 3rd from top feels about right for me. It's where they were due to play in 2022 before QOTSA withdrew from that edition.
I'd imagine so, they were a back up sub in 2019. Solid live act but not seen them since they moved into arenas.

June is already stacked, this will be a twickets job or give it a miss.

Biffy would be a great get & would absolutely love Fatboy Slim
Does Kendal calling have any ties to victorious?

Any word on the upcoming killers tour?

My mate has just messaged me with a screenshot of what looked like Ticketmaster with green day on for the Thursday at Lytham festival which would be f**king mental
I think it's just a glitch because the venue is Lytham green.
Guessing they will go for a big pop act for Thursday, since there's four guitar bands on.

Bought a ticket for Castle field, can anyone recommend what time to go there for to be in the seats??

I’m beginning to wonder myself what’s going on with gigs in general. When I eventually have kids they won’t be able to go to ANY gigs and I’ve been going since I was 13 (36 now).
I get this too, on borrowed time. Prices over the last year are bordering on the ridiculous and it looks like it's only going to get worse.

Biffy would be perfect for other headline - ala foals last year
I love the biff but wouldn't be surprised if they headlined the smaller festivals next year, except for Scotland. How did their arena tour sell last year?

Does anyone think the national or kings of Leon are in with a shout? Both playing the UK in July.
