DDave Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Any hints as to when the first announcement is @naarjtie ? Kids loved it last year and are eager to go again but I want to know some bands first :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I’d consider all the headliners they’ve had big for a 5,000 capacity festival really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) as its tomorrow i think we can do clues. they've already been announced for another UK festival in 2018. They have strategically also been placed as the Sunday headliner to keep people from leaving / encourage ticket day ticket sales for not just saturday. This isnt part of the clue just an observation.

DDave Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Expanded to 4 days for an extra £29 per person. Makes it a dear do for a family of four and runs the risk of having a sparse crowd if the Thursday band isn't a good un. Going for Moby, Royskopp, Everything Everything and possibly Hot Chip if the LCD tour has finished by then. Possibly Jamiroquai for the tenuous Space Cowboy reference.

It's the Chemical Brothers I think. At Boardmasters which is the other end of the country and are in Milan two days before.

Has the site changed between 2016 and this year at all do you know? Trying to decide which of this/latitude/houghton to go to, thinking I may well do more than one but the girlfriend probably won’t 9 minutes ago, DiscothequeDave said: It's the Chemical Brothers God I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evannn Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Upon further investigation, the Chems are doing European shows that weekend. I know it’s possible, but seems unlikely they’d come back and then out to mainland Europe again. Also I dunno if they could justify £35 for EE unless there’s more on the Thursday, especially as their current Manchester show is ~£20 a pop and hasn’t sold out yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EE are the most obvious so far due to them being local and playing Benicassim that weekend (date not confirmed yet. Stick em with a similar sized band and a couple of DJ's and the appetite for people to get a good camping spot and you should get a half decent night time crowd.

All thats left are some naff seats Ah, didn’t think about a seated venue just saw there were tickets available. Also, as an aside, it always surprises me that ticket prices vary for the same tour. Norwich tickets are £21.50 inc fees As suggested on the prev page, another EE sized band alongside them would be a decent Thursday draw (I can’t go back and quote from two pages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
