    Got a time but not a stage. Don't know what to make of it tbh but it is 3 people who have said it. 

    What time have you heard? Wouldn't want to miss it, however unlikely it is.

    Where is the barclaycard amp stage? Can't even find it!

    It's on the left side before you get into the arena, if you walk to the arena from the Co-op you shouldn't be able to miss it.

    This is how I've interpreted the day splits stage wise:

    Friday:

    Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy

    BBC Sounds: TBA

    Others: The Beths, The Dinner Party

    Saturday:

    Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott

    BBC Sounds: Young Fathers

    Others: The Big Moon, Lightning Seeds

    Sunday:

    Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA

    BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi

    Others: The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

    I think this is pretty accurate. We've got the day / stage splits for the other artists now so here's a more updated one:

    Friday:

    Obelisk: Pulp, Metronomy

    BBC Sounds: TBA, The Beths

    Sunrise: TBA, The Dinner Party

    Saturday:

    Obelisk: Paolo Nutini, The Kooks, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, The Lightning Seeds, The Big Moon

    BBC Sounds: TBA, Young Fathers

    Sunday:

    Obelisk: George Ezra, TBA, The Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis-Bextor

    BBC Sounds: Siouxsie, Black Midi

    I think there's a chance that Young Fathers are going to sub the tent. I wouldn't be that surprised if they were to headline it, but I'm cautiously predicting that we'll have an act above them. I'm sort of 50/50 on it. I've got them as headlining in this prediction, and subbing on the previous one, so I'm kind of calling both sides. They're not as big as some of the tent headliners we've had recently, e.g. last years storming trio of Phoebe Bridgers, Groove Armada and Fontaines DC. But they're bigger than some other ones we've had such as Sons of Kemet and Sleaford Mods, however Sleaford Mods were a last minute replacement for Fontaines in 2021 due to Covid. I guess we'll see tomorrow!

    Saw this prediction poster whilst scrolling through socials earlier, I didn't make this though, so just putting that out there (credit to whoever did make it), that aside, not really for me, but quite fair placings of the artists, and tbh does seem very R&L, matches quite a lot of the chat on here, so wouldn't be surprised if someone on here made it. I reckon it would probably receive quite a bit of stick on the initial announcement, but still sell fairly well, especially once it gets padded out.

    They've done a good job here.

    I'd be surprised if all the BBC Sounds headliners are there.

    Young Fathers i can see being one. Metronomy would be a likely fit.

    Not sure on Black Midi and The Big Moon, they aren't big enough. All 3 BBC Sounds headliners could sell out Brixton Academy, they can't. Seems to lack a big dance act yet for me, unless that's Metronomy.

     

    Now that I think of it, I think we could be missing at least one. It's hard to say who they could be, and how many we're missing.

    Young Fathers could definitely be one of them. They're playing some decent size venues on their tour, including The Roundhouse (3,300 capacity) and the Albert Hall (2,300 capacity). They don't really fit on Obelisk, so I think they'll either be subbing BBC Sounds, or headlining it.

    I think Metronomy could headline sounds, but they could also play Obelisk. They sort of fit into the Modest Mouse slot 3rd from top this year. They would make sense 3rd down, subbing Obelisk or headlining BBC Sounds.

    Black Midi and The Big Moon are probably too small, The Big Moon more so than Black Midi I'd say. The Big Moon would fit BBC Sounds and Obelisk, while Black Midi can only really work on BBC Sounds.

    It would have been great to have a poster format where we could tell stage and day splits.

    We really lucked out with the BBC Sounds headliners this year. Phoebe, Groove Armada and Fontaines were all playing some pretty big venues, with Phoebe pushing a crazy amount of tickets, with demand for lots more. Fontaines were booked for 2021, but had to cancel due to Covid, which means they were a bigger headliner than they were in 2021, but even with a 2021 level Fontaines, it's still a huge trio. I think it's the best trio of BBC Sounds (or equivalent) headliners they've ever had. So if we got something close to that level, I'd be very happy.

    We could feasibly have none of the BBC Sounds headliners, or at a push, all three. I think we've probably got at least one.

    My prediction is Big Moon, Black Midi, Young Fathers headlining BBC Sounds, with Lightning Seeds, Proclaimers, Sophie Ellis Bextor on Obelisk

    Yeah, I agree with this. Lightning Seeds, Proclaimers and Sophie Ellis Bextor are typical Obelisk vibe.

    I'd guess something like:

    Friday: Pulp, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott, Lightning Seeds

    Saturday: Paolo Nutini, Metronony, Proclaimers

    Sunday: George Ezra, The Kooks, Sophie Ellis Bextor

     

    BBC Sounds:

    Friday: Young Fathers

    Saturday: The Big Moon

    Sunday: Black Midi

     

    I'm really hoping they don't clash Black Midi and Pulp, as they're my two must sees currently.

    Anyway, Pulp > The Big Moon > Black Midi aren't a bad trio for me. I'd be content with The Big Moon, but I've seen them a couple of times. I could easily be swayed if there was something interesting on Sunrise.

    Do we think The Big Moon, Lightning Seeds and Black Midi are the BBC Sounds headliners?

    Surely Lightning Seeds are just on the Obelisk the same day as Pulp for 90s nostalgia day?!

    I think the subs will be out of: The Kooks, Metronomy, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott

    I've realised there's actually 6 names in the third section of the poster. I imagine these will be the third downs, and the BBC Sounds headliners.

    So, Lightning Seeds could be third down on the Friday.

    I'd imagine that Black Midi will definitely be a BBC Sounds headliner, as them third down on the Obelisk would be interesting to say the least.

  9. It could look something like this:

    Obelisk:

    Friday: Pulp, Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbott

    Saturday: Paolo Nutini, Metronomy

    Sunday: George Ezra, The Kooks

     

    BBC Sounds:

    Friday: The Big Moon

    Saturday: Lightning Seeds

    Sunday: Black Midi

     

    If they dare clash Black Midi and Pulp, I will be livid.

    ?

    I think the remaining headliner is likely to be The 1975 as we've had info on them playing. They've also confirmed they're doing festivals next year, and the only ones they can really do bar Glastonbury and R&L are TRNSMT, Latitude and IOW. They've been confirmed in an article to be playing TRNSMT, and someone had info that they were playing Latitude and IOW.

  11. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but if it's Pulp, I'll be absolutely over the moon. They're very high up on my list of bands I'd like to see, and before they confirmed that they'd be touring next year, I didn't think I'd ever get to see them.

    The 1975 are headlining.  Doubt it’ll be pulp. 

    Do you have any reason to believe that it won't be Pulp? Or is it just speculation?

    There's been quite a few sources saying The 1975, do you know anything more about it, e.g. what day they're playing?

    Paolo Nutini confirmed as a headliner. Just seen the van outside his show tonight.

    Cheers!

    I'm not a fan personally. I don't find his music that interesting, so probably won't be there.

    I'm hoping that they'll be a good option against him in either of the tents, as that'll keep me happy. Looking back at previous years, there's usually something worth watching around headliner time. We had a clash-mania on the Friday of 2021 with Wolf Alice, Hot Chip and Dry Cleaning. I'd have been happy to have seen any of them, but decided to go with Wolf Alice. Chances are they'll be something I'm interested in watching on at the same time as Paolo.

    To give Paolo some credit, Iron Sky is one of my favourite songs. It's incredible. It's quite odd, as I'm a huge fan of that one, but don't really get his other stuff. In an ideal world, I'd catch that one song, then watch whoever else is on.

    This is a fantastic video. I love how the song builds to a perfect climax: 

    I can see it's a good booking, it's just not really for me. There's usually a headliner or two that I'm not a fan of, so it's not surprising. I hope that they confirm the next two headliners in the next few days. I'd love for Pulp to be there, and I'm pretty confident that The 1975 will be one of the other headliners.

    News coming very soon apparently 

    In unrelated events, Pulp are announcing their comeback tour next week 

    First headliner confirmed?? 

    I imagine they'll be trying to get some sort of line-up poster out as soon as possible, with the current climate and before Christmas.

    I find it a little odd that they've taken tickets off sale, while R&L still has them on sale. They're both FR events, so I'd have thought it would be consistent between the two festivals. It's especially ironic as R&L won't have trouble selling out, but Latitude might have a bit of trouble shifting tickets.

    It was interesting to see the demand for Green Man next year. They've managed to sell out, with 25,000 tickets sold without a single act confirmed. I'm not sure if Latitude managed to sell 25,000 tickets even with the line-up out this year. I'm one of the 25,000 that bought tickets for Green Man next year. I went this year and it's fantastic. It definitely has the sort of vibe that Latitude was trying to create in the first few years of it's existence.

    I don't think it's been officially announced but you can see the dates and venues on SeeTickets

    https://www.seetickets.com/tour/philip-selway

    Think he has a new album coming, not sure if it'll be a band.

    Cheers!

    Yeah, I remember reading that both Ed and Phil were working on new albums. I wonder if Ed will be touring anytime soon. He was booked for the Park stage in 2020, but I'm not sure if he's got any plans other than releasing another album.
