Jake Bugg could do 4th down main on Kasabian's day.

Kasabian > Bastille > TDCC > Jake Bugg > JEW

Could do third or fourth down on the Eminem day.

Eminem > Major Lazer > Korn/Jake Bugg > ATDI

Fits in much better on the Kasabian day, wouldn't JEW have been a better booking for the Eminem day? 

Not sure he'd take that given he subbed last time but I think his stock has fallen a bit, even though his new stuff is still fairly decent. Could do the secret set.

 

Can only do Kasabian's day.

I think Circa Waves will be 5th down that day - I read an interview with the frontman who said about "playing 4th or 5th down main stages at some of the biggest UK festivals". And their new album is turgid arsewater so that run from Bugg thru to Kasabian would work well afterwards.

I'm not gonna be conditioned into being kind to Jake Bugg by yer anonymous downvotes lads. You've got a long way to go to put me in minus figures.

[Wagon]

Please not Jake Bugg!!!! 

He is terrible, I'm already waiting for the Y Not stage times to be released so I can work out where to go to avoid him there, I don't want to have do it again!!

I would love Flume to follow Korn in closing the NME on Saturday. It worked really well with Knife Party and Limp Bizkit. It would probably mean I'd have to try and find a Saturday ticket from somewhere tho.

Well even if what we think is right now (with KoRn 3rd on mian and flume on the NME) you could still go and see both......

 

EDIT: PVRIS was also announced for Pukkelpop so it looks more likely that they will play

I was about to point that out too.  But aye I think that'd be a decent enough booking, cos I imagine there's gonna be a good portion of Major Lazer and Korn fans wanting to see Eminem but very little crossover between the two groups. Not predicting it but it'd be smart.

[JSmurphy]

Yeah I just meant it out of personal preference really! I reckon they'll get around an hour either way, but Korn in an early evening Mainstage slot and Korn in a tent are two completely different propositions.

Daniel P Carter has just confirmed on his Twitter that there will be no Pit/Lock Up Stage this year.

They just got announced for Slam Dunk, but I'd like to see Casey play R&L. 

Can't stop listening to these guys recently, seen them live 3 times and now know a few of them quite well, would be a great booking for me!

Where? Grim if true but not entirely unexpected going off the first announcement.

edit: by 'where?', I know you said it was on Twitter but I can't find it on his personal account.

I can't see anything on his Twitter saying this?

Looks like he's removed the tweet now. Can post a screenshot when I'm not on mobile, but he replied to someone having a pop at him about there being no Pit or Lock Up Stage this year. Was something along the lines of "well don't blame me I tried".

Daniel P Carter just replied to me asking if there was no Pit/Lock Up

Could've at least waited until we got the hilarious rant/meltdown from Andre ffs 

[Mattymooz]

And TBH looking at the state of the undercard rn if they ain't doing a pit/lock-up then where the hell is all the money going? Can't just charge the same amount whilst getting rid of a stage and booking an arguably sub-par undercard

I was preparing it in my head when I started reading at top of the page  

[JSmurphy]

The Pit / Lock-Up have got a tough task to match The Avalanche Stage at Download this year I think.

Stormzy's doing V Festival and Enter Shikari have said they're not playing R+L so I wouldn't expect either of those. Not sure about Jake Bugg's situation but he's free Friday and Saturday so probably will actually end up on Kasabian day, the shitsack. No idea about Tycho.

Expect to see HO99O9 appear off the Pukkelpop announcement. Probably NME but maybe even Main Stage - their lead single off the album seems like their break for the mainstream so might wanna do that shit.

Been thinking about where to place Tycho. If it's their live show do you think they may sub Flume on the NME? Can't see them subbing Haim/Blossoms on the Muse Day (or have Blossoms/Haim sub them) or have them on before YM@6.... Unless Tycho does a closing set one of the days?

What's a Tycho?

Similar style to Bonobo and possibly more popular too?

 

[dentalplan]

Bonobo is definitely leagues bigger than Tycho - he's headlining the same festival as Two Door Cinema Club in August.

I've never really thought of Tycho (or Bonobo) as an act that would feature at R+L, particularly away from Dance or Festival Republic stages. Is that what the school leavers are into now; ambient electronica?

I always assumed the same people who like stuff like deadmau5 like tycho & bonobo (so people who were between like 18 and 25 in like 2006). In fact I would have thought Tycho/Bonobo would have had a wider appeal than deadmau5 as they can at least pull off the "oh we are are a real band look we play instruments".

And Tycho is billed higher than Bonobo on the Coachella line up......

Nah they're not the kinda electronic based acts you'd expect to see at stuff like Creamfields. Deadmau5 was a big part of the EDM boom a few years back and Bonobo is well away from that, and I guess Tycho will be too. I wouldn't rule it out but I'd be surprised if they were to show up.

And so they might be, but Bonobo sold out some pretty whopping venues instantly on his last tour. Bigger than the ones that Tycho still have up for sale. Popularity differs between countries.
