Because this place needs more threads, I just thought I'd set up one of these so we can keep track through the announcement-heavy months. When more get announced please do post them in here, particularly for the big acts at obscure Euro festies. I've tried to stick closely to relevant acts to R+L and from start of August to mid September, but I'm flexible on both those I guess. Also, don't you dare even think of quoting this post and bolding the ones you like.

By the sounds of it those Prodigy dates are from 2008 but accidentally down for 2014, or something.

[The Placid Casual]

I keep forgetting to post when I update this but:

• Way Out West have added Brody Dalle, Pusha T, I Break Horses, Chloe Howl.
• FM4 added Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Bastille, Babyshambles, Jimmy Eat World, Skindred, Brody Dalle, Bo Ningen and Pendulum (it's a DJ set, just a DJ set). Babyshambles' first August date I believe.
• There have been a few other bands announced for things over the past couple of weeks that I didn't update on. Can't really remember who but they've all been pretty small-scale, I believe.

Seeing as Macklemore & Ryan Lewis are busy V festival weekend are they a shoe in for R/L?

I can't see it myself, they honestly don't seem like the kind of act Festival Republic would book, even with the 'new direction'

Yeah I reckon they're a good shout for NME headline

[dentalplan]

I thought people here would've been bothered about Babyshambles playing the weekend before.
