Sorry to piss on your chips a bit but Foals are doing Kendal which rules them out. Goldfrapp didn't headline when the last played so can't see that either

 

It was a suggestion based on who is touring, so no chips pissed on lol

I want folk who aren't active so we'll see tomorrow (would love FNM too but its not type of festival they would do imo)

Periodic table numbers 42,45&46 are

Mo

Rh

Pd

dunno if this means anything. 

Mo could be Mogwai I suppose.

 

Mo could be mogwai Morrissey or moby

Rh I'm struggling with as Radiohead and rhcp way too big so could be Richard Hawley or a reference to Thom Yorke

PD no idea. Only band I can think of is pigeon detectives and they shouldn't be playing never mind headlining festivals

The details of who is playing where is on the website also, no stage times yet obviously. 

Groove Armada (Friday), Metronomy (Saturday) and Bjork (Sunday). It looks like Daniel Avery (Friday), Tangerine Dream (Saturday), Squarepusher (Saturday) and Spiritualized (Sunday) are the Orbit headliners. 

Really hoping there aren't some horrid clashes, I would've thought Spiritualized would've actually been the sub to Bjork but it seems to be Radiohead's Ed O'Brien.

I must admit I was wondering where Bluedot would go with their line up this year, most of the big electronic acts have already played, I was wondering who they would get. But they have pulled it out of the bag again. Groove Armada, Bjork, Spiritualised, Squarepusher, Holy Fuck (were these who were referring to earlier Neil?), Tim Peake, Beak, Henge, even bloody Tangerine Dream . Wow, well done Bluedot, cant wait for July now

This is definitely tempting! Bjork the only one to excite me of the headliners, but a lot to love on that undercard. Also quite fancy the comedy/talks line-up. Now do I hold out for Glastonbury or...

Did this sell out last year?

It was close to selling out. The day splits tickets sold out for Kraftwerk, and there were not many Tier 3 tickets left, but no sell out. Quite surprised since last year had three larger headliners, including Kraftwerk and New Order. I don't think this year will sell out either, but the Sunday will.

Orbit headliners don't tend to clash with the Lovell headliners, do they? I can't really remember myself but Bjork clashing with Spiritualized would be horrible

Thanks! I'm sorely tempted. Good to hear no clash between Squarepusher and Bjork too as those would be my must-sees.
