Hmm interesting most of the people saying the line up is poor are comparing it to the first time they went 10 years ago. Maybe you've changed not the festival ;)

Having said that ive only been going for 4 years and the headliners are great, and so is the nme but the main stage under card is a tad underwhelming

Another point black keys are subbing, they played a few nights at ali pali, and BBC are 3rd played one night at ali pali so maybe there not that out of place in terms of ticket sales

Im definitely thinking Glasto, although even that is very mixed, the good thing with it is that it has 2 stages of well known acts as opposed to R/L's 1. Latitude/Bestival Im debating, they just arent big enough to attract the enough of the bigger names.

16 bands I'd like to see so far! I'd say thats a pretty successful first announcement personally! Bar the headliners really looking forward to The Black Keys, The Shins, The Horrors, Band of Skulls! Amongst others!

I don't actually know what people expect ? .. R+L can't just get bands who aren't together or don't tour, or have their own shows, or are doing other things etc.

This isn't a poor line-up, its just a reflection of music at this moment in time.

Must be hard to book between the popular acts to sell the tickets and the bands the typical R+L crowds want.

I think this is a good mixture.

    • This!   Biffy Clyro I don't think would ever get asked, I just don't think it us their scene and it certainly wouldn't be a wise move for them after how the Finsbury Park show went. If they ever had a chance of regaining or staying a bit higher up taking Slam Dunk isn't how you do it. For the cost of it now I think being into the main headliner does make a difference though. 
    • Sabrina I actually think is alright, but as an overall thing including Fontaines in the mix it does look very boring. 
    • I went to the O2 show as had cheap NHS tickets. I did love the whole Machine Gun Kelly vs MGK Emo/Pop Punk stuff amusing and could see that show going down well. I thought it was so funny watching the video skits of a die hard old skool fan gradually morphing in to an Emo Kid. That show with less old Machine Gun Kelly tunes and more MGK Pop-Punk would be ace.   Pair him against a heavy act on the other stage and jobs a goodun,
    • Not sure if this is allowed, but I have an additional daily ticket which I’m willing to sell for a heavily reduced price. If you, or someone you know wants to go that day, but wouldn’t for the original price, let me know.    Edit: It’s for Friday
