2017 festival

[Andre91]

Architects will be on Main.

Gah you lot are all a bit negative aren't you, for me personally it's pretty good.

Great to see Two Door again as I didn't get to see them last year as I saw RHCP.

Kasabisn will be great and I've never had the chance to see them before.

Fatboy Slim will be ace, bit of an obscure booking for R + L which is nice to see.

Circa Waves, Rat Boy and Jimmy Eat World will all be fun, I've seen them all before but they're always good live. 

Not too bothered about Wiley or Amity Affliction but I'd go see Wiley if there was nothing else on

All in all pretty good for me.

They're announcing one more act tomorrow, royal blood?

[Odessa]

They're announcing someone else tomorrow, just been put on twitter. I doubt this act would get their own announcement if they weren't fairly big.

You beat me to it. Defo potential for Royal Blood to announce their new album tomorrow and for this to coincide with that.

Would make perfect sense, has to be a fairly big band at least especially as they've go their own announcement

Would also explain why there's probably no subliner on the announcement today. I'd take Royal Blood, better than having them coheadline next year.

Eagles of Death Metal & Don Broco have had standalone announcements in recent years

Oh right ignore my logic then. Could be literally anyone who isn't a complete unknown.

[Bisque]

This has to be the most underwhelming response to a R&L line up announcement since I've been a member. 2/3 pages of discussion?

Eagles of Death Metal announced themselves as part of their tour dates, though, didn't they?

Actually yeah I think you're right there. I guess the fact that R&L's social media are purposefully announcing that they're dropping an act tomorrow lends it to be being a bigger one than Don Broco, I think they kinda dropped that out of the blue.

I'm sure Alexisonfire had a stand-alone announcement as well back in 2015?

[Gucci Piggy]

They've said on the twitter that the act didn't make this morning's announcement so I reckon it's someone who just wasn't ready to be announced this morning.

I remember them being announced alone too.

This is a good point, i'm pretty sure Alexisonfire and EoDM were also dropped out of the blue also.

jamie t for tomorrow's announcement maybe?

[BeddingatReading]

For me personally it's not a bad announcement. Nothing there that's amazing but pretty much all of them I will see if there's no clashes. What annoys me though is the repeat bookings from last year. Three of them out of this announcement of nine played last year and two of which headlined a tent. Very uninspiring really but could have been a lot worse.

& loads of people predicting Twenty One Pilots to sub.

[Fast Drones]

reckon it could be panic at the disco, they're definitely a logo band

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Last two years I've not wanted to see anyone in the first 2 announcements. So far this year there is one I'd pay to see (Jimmy eat world) and a few id probably watch but for once I don't have the feeling that the third announcement will come up with the goods like I have previous years.

And BabyMetal so could be anyone, but I'm hoping for Royal Blood as sub

[rivalschools.price]

Only Muse, At the Drive in and Jimmy Eat World so far for me.

Still,the lock-up/The Pit to come so no cause for alarm just yet.
