Yeah I think drowningfish has put their prediction in. Just guesswork right now but still interesting to judge clashes from it I suppose.

Don't think these will be far off although there must be circa 20 (?) still to be announced for the big five stages...

I hope a number are on the Friday as oh that latest prediction only really SFA interest me

I'd assume closer to 60, surely?

There's normally 24 on both pyramid and west holds and somewhere around 30 on each of the other three stages, right?

That's true, will teach me not to type in a rush. Can't be 24 on the Pyramid though can there, unless there's a different number playing each day?

24 divided by 3 is 8

Yeah i've found that there'll be 40-50 acts to be announced on the main 5 stages.

And that most of them will be on the Other stage, Park stage and West Holts.

And a good 30 of them will be lower acts that you might have never heard of

That latest remark will teach you not to do math in a rush. It works out as eight acts a day over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

If Wills was correct:

Friday..

Motorhead > Jon Hopkins > SFA

Saturday..

DFA1979 > Dance Village for a couple of hours > Suede or Mothership

Sunday..

Lionel > GAP.... > FFS > Future Islands

Just from the line up of what we know there, it has enough to keep me entertained

I really don't want Suede to headline the John Peel on Saturday because I'm one of those rare people who's a big fan of both Suede and Kanye West.

Edit: Didn't mean for that to sound so 'special-snowflake', I just want them on the Other stage

RTJ subbing John Peel would be a bit annoying having to miss the start of Foos. Hoping they're a slot or two lower.

Would have originally guessed at 3rd down, but just going by the other acts playing that day/stage etc. they seemed to fit better subbing than anyone else we know of.

Most of the bands we're predicting for high JP slots are similar sizes so hard to say who's going to sub. I did have Catfish in there before realising they'd need an indie/rock band somewhere on the Saturday night.

I've put it all in the clashfinder!

Made a few little changes for the bits that I didn't think fitted.

Btw where were you thinking of putting The Fall?

Yeah you find that John Peel's order is bloody hard to peg - I remember Wild Beasts being four down or so being a bit surprising - so I'm hoping that when they're juggling them about, DFA and RTJ fall lower than top two.

Both of these 3rd down and acting as my subs before Foos and Kanye would be ideal. Wouldn't necessarily see them, but there's not much around 2/3rd on the big stages taking my fancy right now (from what we're predicting).

Probably in that 'The Fall' slot on Friday JP :P

LOL oops i missed that bit

From the look of it I think we'll be in for the most surprises with the West Holts bookings this year

    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
