Almost replied Fontaines are a mad sub choice then remembered the info haha
I'd be pretty happy with this lineup, works excellently for me
just one small thing is Caribou seem unlikely for that slot - subbed WH in 2022 and are probably bigger than they were then i reckon
Seems unlikely Vampire Weekend would drop down a slot as well from last time - not sure where else to put them mind you they were a small sub to begin with
This trio is a fair downgrade on recent years to be honest
They seem to try get at least one international act now, with all three of these being on the smaller side too for a Boardmasters headliner.
Maybe swap Central Cee for a US rapper - not sure. I think you could strengthen one of the other two as well, not really sure who though
I think there is some degree of risk with whacking 3 female stadium acts in the same year
The pool is about what - 20% of the male pool, it could mess them up for future years and lead to a repeat of the 2022 blokefest. Would be an unreal trio tho what was mentioned
There was a leak with about 10 dates so weird it wouldn't be included
APE means nothing though its opposite end of the country - whilst they could do Belgium sunday and Lytham friday very easily. I doubt that Cure leak was everything to be honest, many big regions missed out
Download don't win the battle when its one vs the other, but Download might already have been given Muse with R&L getting Foos
It would then be too late for this to change - Download would be annoyed and Muse likely would have made other plans for R&L weekend (they are also opposite ends of the summer)
Far far too stacked
There's about 6-7 acts big enough to headline Chevron on there for instance

Maybe i'll eat my words but these Hozier predictions are getting way out of hand, who the f**k is asking for him. Kind of act that should be playing British Summertime for the picnic blanket gang not R&L!
