I'm none the wiser too so hopefully this is the start of a bigger announcement today.

 

If so, Jimmy Eat World and Flogging Molly plz.

The same? No Foo Fighters, (Linkin Park), Arcade Fire at Main Square. The atmosphere, the crowd isn't comparable, Way better at werchter. Main stage on werchter is grass, Main square is stones. Werchter has 4 festivaldays, Arras only 3. So, Arras isn't playing in the same league as werchter. 

[Apocalyptica]

So future islands looks pretty big. They are playing a lot of festivals. 

Tom odell is playing it lollapalooza I think he will play werchter too

Any idea about cigarettes after sex? 

They are playing a lot of festivals including nos and Primavera sound etc

At first listen, it looks like Editors.

I did the two festivals and the big difference between Werchter and Main Square is definitely the atmosphere and the crowd. The Main Square is more familial in comparison to Werchter.

Seasons is a banger. If RW will announce them today, it will be in a package of names. 

[lightsnowpatrol]

Future Islands are very fun to watch , enjoyed them massively at Nos Alive 15. Also if it is a few names today we will surely have a big ish name to lead the names

depends what you want, a fully blown festival or a more intimate city/town festival, Arras is a beautiful place with some decent bars. But doubt there would be any hotels left so you would have to look at Lens or Lille

[gunther Mickey]

I hope the announcement of Twenty One Pilots, the XX, Half Moon Run, Sum 41, Prophets of Rage, Glass Animals and Warpaint in the following weeks. That would be perfect for me.

In what way?!

Future Islands is more like a synthy version of the War on Drugs. Singer Samuel Herring is well known for his moves too.

LORDE

Saw James Blake in Berlin and he was amazing, Lorde is quite a decent sized act as well, good start to the (hopefully) weekly announcements! Not sure on Killers chances now
