I withdraw my opinion from last month about thursday tickets - they DO want to sell them out and they'll do it fast.

You think we'll see The National before Macca ?

 

Judging by the lineup page, Ellie Goulding is Thursday's sub. I'm expecting The National to sub on Sunday. Then you've got a trio of acts that aren't real headliners, yet will sell a big amount of tickets together. 

That's assuming that they won't put The National before Rammstein.

That's the end of Radiohead / PJ dream :(

At least they did announce a big, fine name, even if he's not everybody cup of tea.

 

So, whats high spots are yet to be filled? Friday sub (or is it the Offspring?) and Sunday sub/Barn headliner (assuming TLSP will take one of them)?

Bummer with Ellie so high. But fuck it, sir Paul is there to the rescue !

Friday is already too much for me. We've got Robert Plant and The Offspring - two bands ready to co-headline. + ATDI...it's getting crowdy there. The National for Sunday then !

Spoke to the guy who told me about Springsteen last night. He says it's off and it's looking more likely to be Radiohead now.

 

Guess RH & Boss will be headlining Sonisphere now... :-D

Saw him last year at Amsterdam, can confirm he still got it.

And of course his song catalog is pretty much unmatched in popular music (and he's not shying away from a greatest hits set...).

Wonder if there's a new album coming from him soon? otherwise those dates are pretty random.

Based on the latest news don't you think that Radiohead could end up the festival on Sunday (July, 3)? It would be dream that comes true.

Not a chance. Flo is the head of the day...don't think it's good but here's how it is.

That would almost make it for me. No reason why flo doesn't do this years kasabian spot and Radiohead end festival in style. Surely that macklemore lot can't get that high a billing, they're utter crap

Never been huge on Macca but can't argue that he's a great name for the Thursday. I'm waiting for the Pinkpop announcement on Wednesday and then probably making a decision. Reckon we'll get our usual Friday fix as well?

Agreed with that. Sure he'll be decent enough but I'd have preferred others

They're the last act on main stage sunday night

That's really quite sad. After watching muse close last year that's a major drop in standards.

Sadly, Macklemore & RL were announced solely on Friday as they are doing with headliners and sometimes with big party acts as with the Prodigy last year. There is no way they made a special announcement and place them as a Barn headliner. In years they had a co-headline structure there were no dance act afterwards.

Therefore I can't see Radiohead happening :(

It's probably just them two festivals for them in Europe for the early part of the year.

Yeah but it makes RW looks strong with four headliners who can headline at any festival in the world (size-wise, Rammstein ain't gonna headline Glastonbury ever) plus one "local" headliner in Editors. Unless Pinkpop gonna pull a surprise on Wednesday, it's probably be more than all of their competition.

All that left is hope for a good undercard and although most of the top spots are already taken, know that surprises happen (as in DCFC scheduled in the Barn at 15:20 @2015 etc...)

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • 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.
