    Has anyone paid for Blue Dot's VIPpass. £100 seems a lot to pay, is it worth it and is it near a stage?

    The VIP pass doesn't get you any closer to the stages, it just gives you access to this little VIP area on the site.  Has a bar, seats, and some food stalls. Also they had free unlimited tea and cofee which was nice! But its nothing special, not sure i'd pay £100 for it

    What's the thought's behind us getting an announcement soon? I know they don't particularly need to be in a massive rush as it's sold out, going on past years I'm hoping Thursday next week

    EOTR has their announcement next Tuesday so I reckon we'll get the GM announcement the week after

     The Strokes day at All Points East looks very tempting- never seen the Yeah Yeah Yeahs 🤔

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs are incredible! I caught them in 2018 supporting LCD Soundsystem at All Points East and it was such a great performance. if they had been the headliner I wouldn't have complained

    Afternoon all. Just popping by to bring you the news that forum favourite Pierce O’Brien aka Pierce, O’Brien aka MCR Boy now has a record deal! Not only that, he’s playing at Band on the Wall in Manchester on the 11th Feb. You can find tickets here for just £8.50:

    Not only that, he has announced that he’ll be entering the emerging talent contest so with any luck, he’ll be appearing at our beloved farm in June. Efests meet if so, for sure. Good luck @Pierce O Brienlad.

    Honestly, I tried to say as much as I could in that post without just going I'VE SEEN THE FIELD DAY LINEUP I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO SEE HA HA HA. But yeah, YYYs and Boygenius is who I was thinking of. I'd actually forgotten Black Midi were on the 2020 poster and I wouldn't be surprised if they're a Far Out headliner but it wasn't them I was thinking of as much as Sudan Archives.

    Oh, sod it. The potential Far Out headliners I was thinking of are Fever Ray and Arca. (Although, has Bonobo ever played GM? I don't think so, right?)

    One more thing - someone in the EOTR forum says they've heard First Aid Kit are coming over in August for "a festival".

    Black Midi played in 2021.

    there's almost no festival announcements nowadays  makes me think "that's a good booking"as they're mostly from the same narrow pool of bands.

    That's true but sometimes Bluedot gets an exclusive or whatever. Like Bjork last year and Kraftwerk in 2019

    His music played at my work Christmas party. He’s a future headliner.

    Lots of songs get played at Xmas parties. Guess Rag n Bone man is headlining too yeah?

    It will be one of the biggest sets / most healthily attended of the year no matter where he is.

    He is the it guy. He’s a future headliner.

    No he is not. Plenty of "it guys" come and go, but not all become headliners. Just because he's had some popularity in the past year amongst certain groups, doesn't mean he's got the widespread appeal to headline. He doesn't pass the Mum Test, he hasn't even passed the Colleagues Test.

    Other headline and R/L headline is probably the highest he'll go. Maybe APE/Field Day too.
