It had A geiger counter playing in the background, I don’t think it was specifically the Kraftwerk intro. Combined with the red it does seem to suggest them, though.

Plus Kraftwerk is your "big" headliner and they generally have one big one, one medium one and one smaller one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even during th he transmission days all the acts were a bit more serious. That's not to say the Prodigy would not be fantastic. I just don't think they fit the ethos of what has been before.

robskyd Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I'm firmly in The Prodigy camp. They've moved on a lot from Charlie and Smacking Their Bitch Up!! The new album is well worth a listen! My other hopefuls would be Richard Ashcroft and I Portugal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robskyd Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Or the KLF !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Although they have had at least one fairly new artist headlining every year, I'll go big and go New Order / Suede / Kraftwerk Suede play Penn Fest on the Friday so would make sense. Altern8 would be good from that line up too. Outside bets to be on the bill would be Pet Shop Boys (as a headliner), Sparks and the Human League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 OMD, Kraftwerk, M83 May swap one with Doves or Elbow , Groove Armada, Human League, maybe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divein Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Kraftwerk and Hot Chip I think, not sure about anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Oh boy I like that. Give us a good alt-rock/indie band and that’s a dreamboat. Hope they’ve booked the Metronomies too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kagey Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'd be happy if that's all we get for now, If it keeps all the Chemical Brothers crowd away really changed the atmosphere last year, I have faith they can pull another great line up together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo a little boisterous crowd in places, but I actually thought it was interesting to see how it would get with a full capacity crowd. Sunday is usually dead on the evening so I actually loved the place being full of life, as there was some solid stuff on after Chems too which kept site busy!!
