2017 festival

[foolee]

Wow, that's shocking. Nothing remotely inspiring there. Most those bands will play festivals thorough the summer.  

[JonSnow]

Must be very exciting for the fans to get the chance to see TDCC incase they forgot to see them in 2016.

Must also be exciting for the fans to get the chance to see Rat Boy incase they forgot to see them in 2016...and 2015.

Potentially the worst announcement I've ever seen. JEW are the only thing I'm even half bothered about. 

[foolee]

Rat Boy main stage, just posted it on his instagram.

[JSmurphy]

Apart from three acts - Kasabian, Fatboy Slim & TAA, every act announced today has played the festival at least as recent as 2014.

Awful announcement, shocked about TDCC, they headlined NME last year and now i'm assuming they are going to be supporting one of the headliners? ludicrus. only decent act is JEW. Seriously though fatboy slim is a joke.

[Andre91]

Are TDCC subbing, then?

from the looks of that announcement, i'd assume so. Hope they aren't though

Don't think it's been confirmed, and I'd certainly hope not as even though they've released a new album since playing last year that would take uninspired to a whole new level. Reckon it'll be third down for them (not much better, mind).

To be honest I looked at the predictions for this announcement and wondered with some how strong they thought it would be. They've clearly spunked a lot on the headliners and relying heavy on that. JEW the only one I'm bothered about.

[jakecase]

To be fair TDCC did clash with RHCP last year... and people could've chose the latter over Cinema Club.

Quite a poor announcement to be honest... was waiting on Royal Blood and Run The Jewels... on the plus I'm already seeing TDCC at Boardmasters so it doesn't really appeal too much to me anymore.

Eminem next then, lets hope it's not as disappointing as todays announcement, don't want my money going to waste here .

Not confirmed but looking at last years second announcement (foals/disclosure, imagine dragons) i'd guess that they are unfortunately subbing

[Frangipane]

Can anyone tell me, please, roughly when day splits are announced, and when day tickets go on sale?

[Bisque]

I think us efesters have to remember that most R&L attendees will have never have seen these bands before, let alone at the last years fest

Roughly 4/5 weeks time when the final headliner is announced.

Kinda already predicted that Muse will be at Reading(Friday) / Leeds(Saturday) - Eminem Reading(Saturday) / Leeds(Sunday) - Kasabian Reading(Sunday) / Leeds(Friday)

Only act I've seen on the lineup so far is only Bastille. So I am looking forward to seeing Muse and Kasabian but quite disappointed the undercard doesn't give off any excitement for me in all honesty.

[thewayiam]

Fatboy Slim NME headliner then.

I still don't think Bastille are on NME but may be wrong. 

[Andre91]

Fatboy Slim headlining the NME one night and Bastille headlining with FLUME playing a closing set on another. That's what I'm going for. And then someone like Brand New with JEW subbing them for the final night.

Just can't see Brand New headlining NME - if they're booked I'd say they're far more likely to just be lumped on the main stage again, like JEW inevitably will as well

[AndrewSmith]

First announcement I was sold on Muse but that's me being completely obsessed with them.

This announcement, I'm excited for Kasabian but tagging everything with *UK Exclusive* when they're appearing at every other European festival makes it pointless. TDCC is ridiculous, I was expecting at least one of YMAS, Royal Blood or maybe even Twenty One Pilots. There's no real selling point to this announcement that sets it apart from other festivals across Europe for me.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Not as if YMA6 are much of a selling point tbf

If TDCC are subbingoing, surely Bastille are, they are easily bigger than TDCC. Plus they are same font as TDCC and ML. Fatboy Slim is smaller.

[Bisque]

YM@6 are only doing Glasto this year they told me

[Gucci Piggy]

God that is awful.

[Mattymooz]

Only 9 acts as well it seems like a small list. Maybe Fatboy Slim will be bumped down to just be an NME headliner? I really liked the first announcement but from this I only really wanna see Flume and TAA.
