tbh I was more getting at the distinct possibility that when you have a shit festival whose only redeeming feature is good line-ups, but then you stop booking good line-ups, people won't want to go anymore. but yeah quite possibly you have a point there too

That works to. To be honest this is by far and away the longest I remember early birds being on sale for , sold out sometime in march/April last year I believe

Confirmation via Instagram that there is no Jack Rocks stage:

Any chance of a replacement at Leeds?

I dunno it sounds like more of a replacement for the Relentless stage as it seems like more electronic music. Who knows though

Probably not.

This makes up for Reading getting Raging Speedhorn instead of Guns n Roses. Getting into the zone so I'm ready to zone in the zone.

Anyone received their ticket yet? I bought mine through the instalment plan on ticketmaster, not arrived yet though.

On the basis that there is one (not a given) it should be obvious when the set times are announced, usually the week of the festival

Introducing stage lineup. Announcing an entire stage at 11PM is a bit odd.

Probably tied in with something on Radio 1 

[JSmurphy]

Anyone listen to any?

I caught Soeur at a small local festival last month and was really impressed. Their sound had a wolf alice feel about it. Check them out they have 4 tunes on Apple Music. Also keen to hear other recommendations, there's nothing like catching a band on BBC introducing then seeing their potential rise through the line ups!

Is the Relentless Stage happening at Leeds this year? It seems really late announcing it this year if it is happening. 

[Huckleberry Finn]

The BBC announcement is all over the place. A handful of names announced by the festival are not on the BBC line-up page.

Meanwhile, some acts have been announced for the Jack Rocks stage at Reading. Bang Bang Romeo, Broken Witt Rebels, The Blinders, The Sundowners, The Wholls, Trampolene, White Room.
