Out of ten what would you rate this years lineup so far?

4/10 would be worse if not for kendrick

Is there another festival with all the good acts that we don't know about yet? 

Every major line up seems to have met with disappointment, and there are obvious festival bands who aren't turning up anywhere - and this in a year without Glastonbury.

What's he raising money for? A sponsored w*nk?

[MIchael_scarn]

This gives me a little bit of hope but even Dan must be shocked about how shit it is this year.

Good to see R&L are still in touch with their 16-24 demographic... Now if they can just make up their minds as to whether that's based in 2018 or 2007!

To quit his day job?

So essentially yes.

With how well Wireless is doing these days, it definitely feels like FR messed up by wasting Stormzy on that as an exclusive. This would have looked a lot stronger with him taking the place of Panic or Post

If Fall Out Boy play From Under the Cork Tree and Panic At The Disco play A Fever You Cant Sweat Out in full, will the internet stop whining?

Looks like AM have opted to do a London Stadium show over R&L based on Neil's post

Who’s Neil? And what post? Xx

No because Panic's best album is Vices and Virtues.

Huh? There is no way on earth anyone can justify them headlining. One Ally Pally date and one date at Cardiff’s tiny arena does not make it ok  

Two Ally Pally dates I think. Tbf there is a few I'd see. Papa Roach and Sum 41 the same same is a great booking. Tbf give me a good NME headliner....never happens now or Distillers in the lockup....I could listen to Dua Lipa....that's tempting. Friday is a crock of shite. Shame Hollywood Undead on the last day.

If this happened on the same day with Sum 41, Papa Roach, Hollywood Undead and Creeper as well (all on main stage so no clashes) I would buy a day ticket. That is literally the only way I'd buy a ticket of any kind for this festival.

It can definitely be saved. Anything can be saved. Some people just love going massively OTT 

[Yellow_Fellow]

Dua Lipa is third down on Main Stage her day

She’s also the metal act coz her drummer used to be on Holy Roar

[zak14]

Apart from Fall Out Boy being a super weak headliner i don't mind the line up, the next announcement should definitely fill out with a couple heavier acts like Broco and The Wonder Years. I think this announcement was more geared towards capitalising on the lack of V fest this year.

Sum 41 as the NME headliner with Sigrid fourth down on Main? Fingers firmly crossed.

[thewayiam]

I feel by the reaction that this is turning point for a few like I had years ago where on the whole I'd gone from the age majorly for it and it's booked for the new young one's coming in.

There is obviously the Pit and Lock Up to announce and in 2016 he did a separate announcement for it on a Sunday, and the lack of rock/metal announced today suggests they are doing something similar.  There is also very little on there that would be suited to the FR stage so all that is to come.  This assumes the stages remain the same of course.
