Oh dear, without wanting to put a downer on it for anyone else, I gotta admit I'm quite disappointed - Afro Celt have never been my thing and, in my opinion, would be more suited to the dance tent than for main stage headliner - clearly they blew the budget on James :( Quite pleased with Neck, however, as they are a band that I've heard good things about, but not, as yet, got around to experiencing live. At the moment, all the good stuff for us is either on the undercard or on the Woodland stage.

Booking Afro Celts wasn't really about budget constraints, more about what was available that we thought interesting and credible enough - and regularly requested on the forums. We could have got a couple of rock or indie/ish acts - we thought they would be too similar to our other headliners, and part of Bearded Theory is the eclectic programming.

They've headlined bigger capacity, higher ticket price festivals in the past. For our capacity and ticket price we have second billings this year and in past years that should be headlining.

It's Neil Young innit? Don't worry your secret's safe with me...

The Afro Celts are a HUGE draw for me. A top top act, a bit unfair/inaccurate to call them a "Dance" act a bit like calling the Stone Roses a dance act, they are world, folk, rock, dance (and other stuff) all fused into one huge party.

Irish/Punk, apparently - which peeks my interest - could be the next best thing to Flogging Molly?! :D

Main Stage Spotify playlist....

Missing a couple as not all the bands are on Spotify. I've not listened all the way through so if you spot any errors let me know.

Cheers.

    • I love this festival but Mordor has got worse and worse to the point now that I dread going there. 10 years ago there just weren’t as many people, as many bottlenecks and there wasnt the need to arrive early to have a decent spot.
    • Aren't they against touring?
    • If my memory serves me right, it was the other way round - when PS 2022 lineup was released it was already confirmed that she plays Barcelona in May.
    • Cheers! And yep looks identical to Green day's scheduling
    • Reading all the feedback with interest.  If there are now 75,000 tickets officially sold, plus who knows how many more people blagging in - then on the Friday evening and Saturday in particular, it's not ridiculous to suggest there's 50,000 people at Mordor, which is a stadium gig - except with much worse sight lines, an inferior PA, and far less bars and toilets. The Thursday evening in 2022 was of course infamous but on the Friday night for Beck I was trapped about 150m from the stage, surrounded by chatters, and with no prospect of getting nearer the stage.  With hindsight that was when I realised the fest had one way or another fundamentally changed.  Also noting on Reddit that some folk didn't enjoy the Cure or Gorillaz because the sets were "too long".  In future bands may be better received if they actually just play their top 10 Spotify songs then get back off the stage.
