Proclaimers I'm gonna say are Sat Afternoon guests. Doing the festival rounds and just been announced for Folk Festival headlining alongside Levellers and The Coral. Both doing Victorious. 

Announcement surely some time this week.

Probably not a bad shout. They at the 'Big Feastival' on the Sunday so as you say Saturday could be likely. A half hour slot would probably suit them as well. 'Ba da da da...ba da da da...da da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaa'

...Da lat da (Da lat da), da lat da (Da lat da)

But in all seriousness though I saw the 'Big Festival' thing to and figured they'd be on there 'way to misery to happiness' that day...

Would quite like them though - Reckon they'd be a decent coup to get me in early afternoon.

I sing it in my Brummie accent hence the difference! 
Yeah...caught them a few times at festivals and they're alright. Would prefer Travis or Charlatans etc though.

Think they'll push Travis to an early evening slot. 

Manics - James - Charlatans - Travis - The Coral 

or 

Manics - Charlatans - James  - Travis - The Coral

Something like that - Could be dreaming though.

Ha ha...yeah, that would be awesome but can't see it. Reckon James would definitely be above Charlatans (coming on the back of having a number 2 album) if it was.

James could support IMO. Doing a wide range of festivals, one or two similar to Victorious.

As I've said before if they're truly building year by year on the festival, A stronger top 4/5 than last year would be a smart place to start. Then in the future once you've nailed that start making the rest of the main stage line-ups stronger throughout the day.

Noel's doing Glasgow Summer Sessions as a headliner on Friday of Victorious weekend. Worth noting. See who supports him there.

Would hate the majority of suggestions in this thread - hoping for a bit more variety than a 90s guitar fest! Need some Basement Jaxx/Tinie Tempah-sized modern acts please...

Not sure Basement Jaxx would count as 'modern' given they're mid-90's as well.

But agree needs something for the youngsters on the 2nd stage (while us old farts are trying to manoeuvre our zimmer frames through the mud to get to the front for 'These Animal Men')

Yes, you're absolutely right. D'oh. Still, they are a touch more 'hip' than Travis and The Proclaimers. And yes I just used the word 'hip' in that context. The next stage would be 'beat combo' Basement Jaxx.

Being called 'Lateralus' I would have assumed you were a Roman and therefore would have liked the older stuff. 

Yeah...the Proclaimers are more 'hip op' than 'hip'. The sound of 'Werther's Originals' wrappers being opened by the crowd will probably drown out the first couple of songs. 

Was really expecting an announcement this week. Given they wedge a couple of hundred bands on each stage each day theres gonna be loads of stuff announced over the next few months.

To be fair, the festival usually pits all the older acts on the main stage and the stuff more geared towards the current charts on the 2nd stage. Well at least they did last year now they have 2 major sized stages. We're only suggesting the 90's/early 2000's stuff because they seem easier to guess this year, reckon Catfish and the bottlemen will appear and possibly Busted at a guess. Also Tinie Tempah? Modern? Really? 2010 was 6 years ago... I know he's still doing stuff but is any of it even noteworthy! If that's now classed as modern, then I have my fingers crossed for an O-Zone appearance please  :P

Good stuff. Still no obvious Sunday sub though 

Yeah...some good stuff. Happy with Editors, Travis & Wolfmother. Pretty Vicious sound like they're worth a watch but I'm gonna try and catch them at Truck first. Don't think the Boomtown Rats will be a massive draw to get people in early on Saturday mind.

Weird one currently as there announcement structure hasn't really followed last years, but they've got ton's to announce still, the majority of similar sized festivals are onto there 2nd/3rd/4th announcements already. Also the cheaper ticket deal is now over, so your probably right an announcement this Friday? 

Predictions for the next wave then?

For me:

Travis - Sunday Afternoon Slot Possibly?
Editors - 3rd Down On Manics Day?
 

Impressive...you even got Editors in the right slot on the right day!

Hope they have Editors/Travis/Manics on main stage and not clashing...that'd be a ballache

One of Editors and Travis will probably headline the Castle Stage. Those headliners were second down on the poster last year (where Ronson and Travis currently are this year).

Can't see Editors being 3rd down, they're too big for that.

I was thinking that but then an Editors/Manics clash would piss a lot of people off...lots of people who like one like the other, plus people who aint that into indie guitar bands wouldn't have a big name alternative option.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
