To be quite honest, I rate Plan B highly as I do with Chase & Status. I think it's just because their popularity has risen so fast a lot of people don't see them as viable headliners. Obviously a mainstream approach but Rockness have been going down that route since 2010, so I'd say it's fine for what they're trying to achieve.

Sadly, we've experienced the glory days/lineups of 2006-2009.

Really can't see Deadmau5 playing 2 years in a row. Didn't rate him at all last year, saw him at Barrowlands in 2010 (which was immense) and T 2011 and I just don't think his show works outside, especially when it's not dark when he starts playing. I also thought it was way too quiet last year for him on the main stage, could easily have a conversation with my mates beside me and that just completely kills the vibe.

If Plan B is on the lineup, then I cant see them announcing him until after his tour shows (14th), which would be stretching an announcement even more, which may then also run close to T's announcement. From those acts, I'd say Chase and Status is most likely, Deadmau5 wont play again so soon, RN is still a relatively new fest, they dont need to get in the repeat headline game yet

Why all the negative comments before a single act has even been announced?

It's as if some people are hoping on a poor line up just so they can be critical.

If we were to get huge acts, the ticket price would need to go right up and going by the comments over people losing out on £99 tickets and having to pay an 'outrageous' £139 (which I need to pay) I don't think that would go down very well. So I think they are limited to what acts can be booked, especially with TITP having more spending power to snap up acts.

Then you have the question of what acts are actually available to play, we would all love Daft Punk, The Prodigy, QOTSA etc and i'm sure if they were available they would be booked. I have no doubt that the team booking the acts try and snap up the best of who's available for that weekend. I'll be looking to see who's playing the undercard more than the headliners anyway, there's usually a gem or 2 in there :)

Course they do, lol. Yup that does makes sense.

Deadmau5

Example

David Guetta

Calvin Harris

Plan B

Chase and Status

If not for QOTSA, I don't know what rockier band would play it. I think Stereophonics will be at T.

Guetta has had Calvin Harris support him before.

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
