    It might suit both sides for it not to be contractually confirmed. Bluedot doesn't want to commit money, the bands don't want to commit to the tour.

    Don't see it as false advertising. They can always swap out with a band of equal statute and would be a few grumblings but life would move on

    Fair points. Probably soft committments made in very good faith. Let's hope it works out

    Agreed. But will the three bands honour that though? Imagine it’s a pretty soft commitment at this stage.

    I have no idea about the workings of festival politics but I would imagine Bluedot wouldn't say they were unless it was contractually confirmed. Otherwise it would be false advertising no?

    Simply can't see it myself. No signs of things improving in the UK and even when they do it's going to be a long time before people (acts and crowd alike) are comfortable attending mass gatherings me thinks

    Isn't it more likely they'll have some DJ/electronic act to close the festival? Would make more sense to close with a party yknow

    As someone who is often dead and buried by the Sunday night, I'm all for getting floaty to Spiritualized to finish it off. Difficult to tell as they could've easily been a slightly small but solid headliner in my opinion.

    Rounded off last year at the Tarantino Disco myself

    It's a real shame that they're not both on the same stage. Might be difficult to watch Spiritualised and then get a decent spot for Bjork, if there's not a lot of time between their individual sets finishing and starting.

    They left 45 minutes between Gruff Rhys and New Order last year although 20 for Hot Chip and Jon Hopkins. Got a good feeling they'll realise how much crossover there will be for the audience and plan ahead. 

    Is Spiritualized definitely before Bjork though? I assumed the former would close the festival myself

    They did the whole Sea of Brass tour with a full brass band, so it's not out of the question as something they could do.

    Don't really know much about them but I've seen some of the venue's they've played at it seems like there's no such thing as ordinary with them

    The tunes I've heard I like so I'd more than take it

    That would be awesome if PSB did it. But it's quite a while since their space album now (they were performing tracks from it at the 2016 festival).

    True, I would imagine it to be a regular set (with maybe one or two extra from Race for Space) with a big ol' backing band

    Wasn't able to see the Halle last time as I was graduating. However, I feel they would have already been announced if they were playing so I'm expecting something different. 

    The dream for me would be Public Service Broadcasting with orchestral backing. Was still very surprised not to see them at the Moon Landing celebrations even though they played the previous year

    Could the co-ordinates tweet suggest British Sea Power may perform with an orchestra behind them? Is that something they're likely to do?

    Apologies for contributing to the many questions, but is there much to do at Blue Dot after the headliners have finished? Does it run late?

     

    Thanks

    I'd say the music runs until around 1/2am. Then they had some film screenings that began at 3 if I recall correctly.

    Not exactly party central at evenings but it goes on after the headliners for sure

    Given the quality and range of the undercard, there’s clearly gonna be great music scattered throughout the day this year

    Not to mention there were some true gems early in the day last year despite the names being less prominent.

    It's certainly not Bluedot without Henge and their set provided the most unmissable party of the weekend

    Pet Shops Boys still the most likely for me. Would've been confident with Beck until those Warehouse shows. Obviously now it's the night before I'm worried I've overestimated everything but time will tell.

    Personally, I'm expecting at least one UK exclusive as that would justify the long wait
