Blue Dot Festival

[the wonderwhy]

I don't think Bombay Bicycle Club are that absurd a suggestion when they've booked guff like Elbow, Alt-J and Future Islands before. Anyway, they're headlining Truck so are outside the scope on size grounds, really.

I did suggest that would be 'daft' 

I stand by the suggestion that Bombay Bicycle Club are a possibility though

I retract my suggestion

[the wonderwhy]

Not bad. Pretty unimaginative just booking the 2020 headliners again though.

What about Metronomy and Mogwai for the coheadliners? Metronomy don't seem that big anymore but maybe they were given first refusal on headlining, and then Bluedot decided to add Mogwai to pad it out a bit, which is supported by 

 

Told ya.

[DDave]

Pretty weak imo

[Memory Man]

Nothing surprising at all

its… ok but uninspiring

[the wonderwhy]

Metronomy and Mogwai are indeed both on the Lovell stage so thats a change from the Hot Chip / Hopkins setup last time. 

[Guy Incognito]

This looks great imo

[swelsbyuk]

Metronomy must be over the moon that someone considers them to be headline-sized.

Not particularly inspiring really, can't see them shifting a huge amount of tickets to this. Aside from Mogwai and Bjork most of the undercard is doing the rounds this summer.

Mogwai and Bjork are the two main reasons we would attend but I'm left completely uninspired by the rest.

They probably don't have many left after rollovers tbf. They were advertising 'final tickets on sale friday' the other day. 

[Gilgamesh69]

It's a bit rough and probably subject to change, but just made this. Looks like there's plenty more to be added.

Also if Mama Meredith is supporting Bjork then that's going to be a great end to the festival. Squarepusher & KLO both playing Orbit on saturday should make for a great night too...

[Memory Man]

I think the comedy names are excellent, fwiw

[Zoo Music Girl]

Looks quite similar to last year from memory? There's plenty I'd watch there. Not sure whether to go for it or not really.

Yeah can't argue with that. Very strong.

[Memory Man]

Might wait for cheaper tickets second hand closer to the time as i cant see that selling out

[Flaminglippy]

Done a few Bluedots and always had a amazing weekend. Not going this year as already booked my 3 festival limit. Headliners aren't really my cup of tea but still think it looks like a decent line up. Bluedot is trying to do something different so wouldn't expect to see the 'normal' festival headliners. Bet it will be fucking rammed for Yard Act though! 

[dentalplan]

That's a well nice lineup. If Spiritualized are across from Groove Armada then the headline options are lovely.

[Gilgamesh69]

@ShakeyCrash Jo and I are going to this one, you should come 

[adequate8]

Working mens club aren’t on the website?

[Tuna]

Not much on the Bjork day that tickles my fancy so might just get real weird and look at some telescopes. 

[Gilgamesh69]

Hoping for some jazzy names to get added too... unless i've missed them?
