Not after big names, just an alternative to the 90's indie vibe. Acts like Tunng, British Sea Power, Gruff Rhys with or without Neon Neon, Field Music, Pulled Apart By Horses, Battles, Slow Club, Lanterns On The Lake, Pete & The Pirates, any of these would be most welcome. Ominously, The Enemy have today released details of their new album...

Would be well happy if Gruff Rhys was announced...

Billy Bragg maybe?? Filling the Frank Turner slot??

We Are Augustines though...ooohhhh!

Is the Happy Mondays rumour still doing the rounds? Can't see it myself...

Quite hard to get excited about festivals when you're looking out the window and its snowing...

I've read that Tribes are headlining the Calling out stage, if theyre up against Dizzee it'll be packed for that performance, get there early !

We know Vintage Trouble are headling the CO stage on sunday, so i'll keep my fingers crossed that Tribes are headlining it saturday

That is a strong second announcement. Delighted with Ghostpoet, Spector, King Charles (saw him at The Hop in Wakey a year or so ago and he seemed to be a cross between Prince and Robert Plant, playing in front of 10 people), Mono LPs. And DJ Yoda with the Transiberian Marching Band sounds worth clocking. I generally prefer it if the word 'DJ' is prefaced with 'Hang The', but that sounds intriguing.

And still no Wind Up Birds !

Really happy with that, Toddla T and Jaymo and Andy George will add another dimension to the dance tent.

Tribes and The View are very solid and not forgetting Benjamin Francis Leftwich, they really have pulled it out of the bag this year! Cannot wait now.

It does look as if there's loads of Calling Out Stage stuff to announce yet, so there's plenty of time for the Wind Ups to be dropped in. I've been surprised when I've seen them that there hasn't been more of a crowd. A band whose profile I'm sure would have benefited from a Peel Session or two. They aren't playing the Live at Leeds fest, or Long Division in Wakefield, and they haven't got much gig-wise announced so far this year. Album out shortly which means they might get out on the road, but I'd love them to open the Calling Out stage on Friday, would set the weekend up perfectly

    • A question has crossed my (questionable) mind;   Has the size of the Green Fields remained the same as other areas have expanded / been added on to, since say, 2014 (the last time that I attended)? Are they 'lost' within, or well attended?    That's actually two questions. The second one just slipped in at the end by taking advantage of my lack of means to stop it.    
    • I'd say the same about Kylie.    Annie would be awesome, Duran not so much, and on the issue of them wanting a beanie slot, that probably rules out a fair few others who I think would fit the bill very well... and are legitimately more entitled to a headline, and/or too expensive.   Was just about to suggest Chaka Khan, but see @Gnomicide has beat me to it!    What about someone like Bryan Ferry?
