6t6o6m Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Loving the line up, on a handful I will go out of my way to see, but lots of bands that fall into the category of "wouldn't pay to go to their gig" but would see at a festival.

SwedgeAntilles Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 So having had a proper chance to digest it: 9 x wish list confimed- PJ Harvey, New Order, Foals, Chvrches, TLSP, LCD, Savages, Wolf Alice, Daughter 2 x hugely disappointing omissions- Tame Impala and Radiohead 2 x others from the wishlist who aren't there- The Coral, Richard Ashcroft Absolutely shit loads of surprising stuff- Sigur Ros, Beck, James Blake, Ezra Furman, Kurt Vile, Madness, TDCC. It's good for a first poster, just hope some of the omissions turn up on the stage breakdown poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Monkey (Womad) Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Great stuff on here - Sigur Ros the undoubted highlight. Beck too. John Grant's album Queen of Denmark from 2010 was an undoubted classic so look forward to seeing him. As Mark Lamarr said about Richard Hawley, a national treasure A mention to the wonderful Rokia Traore. And a nod to Baaba Maal and Ernest Ranglin. Will definitely be checking out the World Music incase they are not at Womad lineup this year. Who the hell are Bring Me the Horizon?

blue6field Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Very happy with the poster! sigor ros and beck, great surprise additions! LCD confirmed at last!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just saw it as I left for work. In work now and made it my desktop picture so that I can look like I am pondering work things when actually I'm pondering the line up My first thoughts are, nice mix of acts. Most happy about Earth, Wind and Fire and Stormzy...! I am not really into him but a friend at work is so Stormzy caught my eye so I might pop along to see him for my friend! Right, time to secretly peruse it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big screamo/metalcore band turned Linkin Park lite in the last 2 years. Sold out Ally Pally on their most recent tour. You either love them or hate them but they've developed their sound pretty well over the last 3 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikkirascal Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Very impressive first poster. One of the best yet IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggienick68 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 A few pearls but a bit disappointed - but there again I usually am. More time for bimbling about and visiting the smaller areas of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokel Again Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Very happy overall. Of course, there is a lot of pants on there too as alwyas, but mainly all the surprises on there are great! Not just got to pray they are nicely spread out and no clashes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingers_mark Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Kept true to the female fronted acts promise. Around 25 on there. Happy with Underworld, M83 and LCD, but bet the three clash. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeGalvin Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Quite the mixed bag. Not the greatest I've seen, but I'm massively excited about LCD Soundsystem, Beck and Underworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6t6o6m Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The more I look the more I find. I want to see foals, muse, Bastille, jake Bugg, m83, tdcc, tlsp, zz top, bmth, Coldplay, of monsters and men, years & years, disclosure, savages and more.

Fingerbobs Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 That's the best initial reveal I've seen yet. There's 5 must sees in the first column alone and I'm usually happy if I've got that on the day I set out for the fest. Great stuff. Just need that bit of luck in the resale a now.

mike86 Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 To the people that are disappointed, what on earth were you expecting? This poster is such a good spread of bands, something for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Low Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Quite a pleasing line up (not that I have a ticket and have to endue re-sale day). Chuffed to see Sigur Ros there. Was hoping they'd be there the last 2 years when I had tickets but sadly not. Seen quite a lot of people moaning on Twitter at how poor it is so hopefully that makes re-sale day easier, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotchilidog Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Plenty to get excited about there. Delighted Band of Horses made it on to the list. My group are doing cartwheels at the moment, some very happy campers indeed. Looking forward to examining it in greater detail when work allows.

Homer Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 I think the strength in depth is one of the best years ever - I've got three days' worth already - plus headliner wise I've got LCD and New Order. Couldn't be much happier! Carl Cox Fatboy Slim Richard Hawley Explosions in the Sky Foals Beck LCD Soundsystem PJ Harvey New Order Grimes Annie Mac Sigur Ros Ronnie Spector Underworld Chvrches Ezra Furman M83 Mercury Rev Madness Of Monsters and Men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 So excited about Beck, he is so brilliant, Earth Wind and Fire will be amazing too, very happy with this. Charm x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDandy Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Are we thinking that giving the location of Bring me the Horizon on the poster that they might not be headlining the Other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Chemical Brothers were in a similar position last year. After the top 5/6 names I think it just comes down to where the names fit in nicely during the design work more than anything else.

siweltrebor Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 The clashes could be truly epic this year, with the likes of Grimes and Sigur Ros possibly headlining stages too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
