Doubt it if was posted on a Sunday. That said, I suspect they do have a couple of surprises up their sleeve.
-
Not convinced you understand the meaning of the word promise.
-
C'mon, be fair! Bilbao BBK's announcement literally referred to this being their 'first names' in their headline and it takes seconds to google posters of recent years and see there are more than 25 names on there. Plus I know how rumours can start!
-
Totally agree. Plus I don’t want to be watching a show and be distracted by watching another stage being set up. It wasn’t broken before so why fix it?
-
80% is pretty impressive. Not sure how I feel about the new stage arrangements, the area around Primavera Stage somehow feels off and I will always hate the side-by-side stage set up at Mordor.
-
There are barely enough names for 1 day let alone 3. Make that make sense!
-
Festival bus. Most people come from Porto.
-
I didn't find it tricky at all. Bus was easy, comfortable and direct - don't remember any traffic even which can blight UK festivals.
-
They can't possibly string this out any longer. Next week must be final lineup and day splits.
-
So once added, Geoff Barrow and Beth Gibbons will be at the same location for a weekend and with some spare time on their hands? Hmm...
-
Wonder if we will get an announcement of some kind before end of month to try and stimulate sales. Maybe a new name and one that can't make it.
-
Not really the case here. We are saying all the albums are great (am also a big fan of LEA).
-
I would start with her new album as that’s what she’ll be playing. Stories is amazing - her very best for me - but yeah she doesn't release bad albums.
-
She'll likely play the same set at both and likely neither will be a mix, both will be overwhelmingly her new album. Some would call it not compromising her artistic principles to please an audience. People do expect to hear 'greatest hits' at a festival (or at least more upbeat numbers) and likely will be a lot of chatter during her set.
-
Yes, exactly. Though based on the past she will probably play 80% of the new album and then half a dozen others, leaning towards stuff from more recent albums.
-
As much as I like PJ Harvey, I just can’t see this particular latest album translating well to Mordor.
-
Quite impressive how Barcelona got its full poster with day splits out back in November. Bilbao which is just a month later has still only provided a third of their names.
-
Bilbao BBK in July is due to announce second and final batch of names in next fortnight.
-
Rumour of Slowdive
-
Think my F5 button is broken. We still only have 1/3rd of the names. Had a look at previous years and think the final poster (bar 1 or 2 additions) is always released in March so max a fortnight until we have it and including day splits.
-
Would be too small to justify the attempted cover-up. Plus it definitely doesn't say Slowdive and you can see pretty clearly the sequence of N-A-T-I-O (especially the N, A, T and O)
-
We’ll get a few more names for sure as Twigs won’t be the only cancellation. There have always been a few cancellations. Plus I believe there will be a name or two added seemingly at random but presumably as only possible to agree a contract with them recently. This appears to happen most years. We might even get Hidden back too if they have found a new sponsor. Unlikely but possible.
-
Hmm, they played Spain last month. Box ticked I think... But we will get a few new names for sure.
-
I'd say Garbage can be ruled out as otherwise they would have to play 4 days in a row. Surely new names next week?
-
I would have been shocked if The Smile weren't lined up given Kalorama but good to have confirmed. Doesn't mean anything in terms of whether it's going ahead though really.
