Really excited by this - some excellent events. Jeremy Hardy is one of my all-time favourite stand-ups, also I love Francesca Martinez, plus some very good debates. The Selecter are a brilliantway to send it all off, and a Sunday treat with Jeremy Corbyn! For those who aren't particularly into dance music, this is the best line-up revealed so far!  

[willutalk]

Just done the same. Shall I delete my thread and we can use this one?

Love Leftfield - ok it's all slightly idealistic but great it's still at the heart of the festival. Always try to catch a couple of the debates and the Radical Round up on Sunday afternoon. Tom Robinson and Selector two cracking headliners too 

[pie_and_a_pint]

Brilliant! Love Tom Robinson!

I wonder if Sunday's 'TBA' stand up comedy will be Phill Jupitus?

I was planning  on wearing my "I ❤ Jeremy Hunt" t shirt on Saturday....

Good line up again from Leftfield. I've seen a few in there over the years but never made it to a roundup, I really should make the effort.

I've heard the new album is actually a spoken word piece with Thom Yorke taking a wry look at the political landscape.

[Andeeroo]

Nice. I enjoy going along to the round ups if there's nothing else I'm feeling on the lineup.

Will try to make it to Billy this year too.

Lol! I can imagine the abuse you would get all day from people. 

I didn't even know the left field existed until everyone was going crazy about Corbyn's appearance. I think it'll be extremely interesting over there after the euro-ref results come in! 

[neil_d]

I like the look of that! A few personal favourites I'd like to see again, and some new acts to enjoy.

[Gnomicide]

Membranes will be great. Seems that they like to put some punk on in Leftfield these days.

Anti-flag & Buzzcocks have been some real highlights of recent years.

[rubenz]

corbyn b2b ken livingstone (dutch trance set) in Toad Hall is what I heard..

Probably be a pretty big crowd for Corbs in the Leftfield I would imagine.

[Andeeroo]

Oh and is it time some kind of eFests/Godwin's law was written down? Something along the lines of  'As a thread discussion grows, the probability of a bloody Radiohead mention approaches 1.'

I thought Charlotte Church was making an appearance. 

Good to see Hardy there, though

What actually is the roundup? Does everyone do something together or something?

[gaxsa]

The selecter ... Yasssssss

She could be singing on another stage, didn't she do an indie covers set somewhere recently?

I think she's more likely to turn up as a speaker - perhaps on the first day during the feminism debate - she's pretty vocal politically, so it would make sense.

Delighted to see Tom Robinson - he's one of the best acts I've ever seen at a festival. Also love Billy Bragg, so I now have a Friday night headliner. (Billy, please, please play Waiting for the Great Leap Forward - was gutted not to hear it at Kendal last year). I definitely want to see Jeremy Corbyn too. 

[John the Moth]

Selector!! Yuss

You've still got time for a Friday headliner, LeftField finishes a couple hours earlier than the major stages so Billy won't be up against the Pyramid, Other, etc headliners.

There's definitely a clash to an extent though. I remember having to leave Billy half way through to get to Arcade Fire.

Jeremy Hardy, Tom Robinson, The Selecter, Jeremy Corbyn and the always good Billy Bragg. Good line up. Especially happy to see The Selecter on there!
