1986

Effing stacked. That Friday in particular. Never park at one stage for the day but if it was ever gonna happen it’ll be this year.

Yeah that is great

I feel like all the names that do ring a bell are just ones I remember reading from last year. Obvs Bob Vylan, Knee Cap and Lister are the ones I know. This is a comment on me btw, not the line up.

Was gonna do a poll but your opinion may obviously change as things develop. For me its neck and neck between West Holts and Park with 6 acts each. Last place is probably Avalon though Acoustic doesn't have much for me either. You?

Kate Nash a headliner maybe?

Won't be today with acoustic and they don't tend to announce on weekends do they? Love your avatar btw, takes me back to my Pog playing childhood.

Just had the thought that its funny the acoustic tent uses a circus aesthetic for their poster when the festival also has a circus area.

Yeah Crowe will be rammed no doubt

Could headline Leftfield maybe?

Try Noname if you haven't yet. She's great. And not official yet but Balming Tiger were on the leaked West Holts list so will likely be announced later.

Predicting S Club as the Avalon throwback pop act this year. Based on nothing other than them being about.

Hard to believe they'd have the subs they do if Stevie was up for it.

For the sake of your decision I'd just cheat and find a playlist of one of their recent set lists. Assuming you have Spotify or whatever.

Only just heard on a playlist that it’s Dexy’s Midnight Runners. Always assumed it was someone totally different. If only there had been a clue.

My thinking, funny they left a couple off for seemingly dramatic effect.

Taylor clearly holds the festival in some level of regard to make it a possibility. Not a certainty but a possibility.

First guess at next poster will be WH

Anohni and the Johnsons, American Football

It's missing an excitement factor for sure but being in this forum every day consuming all bits of info and rumour will contribute to that. I'm happy with it, it has a different feel to it this year, more modern on the most part, less "I need to see this person before they never play again" vibes. Weird clashes with Idles/Fontaines and Simz/Streets though.

I did have the same thought but I think BBCs article name checks the k-pop band.

Don't think that harshly but this did make me exhale out of my nose.

Lauren on 6Music is making a lot of hints of ‘something exciting coming up.’ More light confirmation if you want to find it.

From memory didn’t Foals headline Other and Truck the same year?
