No. Just a couple of people bitching like teenagers. Get real folks, this is an online forum about a festival, not a high-school playground where you get bullied for liking or not liking a specific band. I had enough of that when I was 12. Can we get back on topic please?? Sooo... what do we think to it being this Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think so... almost three weeks since any real news. If new contracts were being made it's very possible they'd be complete by now. Question is, as it's only a couple of names, will it be a Friday announcement or just a 3pm on a random day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could be any day really, the fact they said 'we'll keep you updated' and have left it multiple weeks to announce 2-3 acts in fairly unimportant slots surely can't mean anything other than some acts fell through? So I'd guess it'll keep trend and be either the Wednesday or Friday of the week they manage to get them 100% on board. I'm choosing to believe everyone I'm going to see is already there anyway, then if any of them are worth seeing it's a nice surprise. I'm more than happy with what there is anyway, it would just be nice to see the full poster! I suppose for the dreamers there could be a surprise coming/they're working on a couple of well known names which is causing the delay, but I've been hurt before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at Klub C over the past few years and have not been interested in any of the headliners in there so don't expect to be this year. Would be lovely to get someone unexpected though but will have to wait and see. Unlikely for anyone well-known though. As the only spots seem to be opening Main (potential) or headlining Klub C (unlikely as it's too small). Fingers crossed for word on Friday.

Gossard Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 I got the feeling they'll move Chainsmokers to the main stage. With KoL finishing early (00:40) and we don't have any dance-act on the main stage, I'd think this is a possibility. They wouldn't be my first choice as a dance-act, but there is no denying their popularity..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gossard Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 They've changed it before but that's been do to lineup changes, cancelation or something like that. I just find it strange that we don't have any dance-act on the main stage and there is a possibility on that Thursday. Maybe my feeling is only because of that....

He could be correct, it's not hugely surprising to see them in a tent though as at Creamfields they are only in a tent. 4 hours ago, thetechi said: Yeah, I get that.

While Alt-J were very good, they're just not even on the same level as Soulwax. One of the best live acts around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Baggins Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm looking for 2 Saturday tickets, anyone have an idea how I can get them? I've already subscribed to the waiting list. Not sure how long it will take for the to confirm if there are any available. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my feeling is only because of that.... since they said that thursday and saturday are locked in i would assume no changes anymore, not even a chainsmokers on the mainstage. it is how it is...since i mostly dont make it until the end of the dance act on thursday, i dont mind that there is no act on that spot this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I get that, but what I was saying was, I'm not quite sure where they'd go... They've already said Thursday and Saturday lineups are complete now and the only spaces are small ones, or Klub C headline which I don't think even then would attract anyone considered that 'big'. Unless they had a complete shakeup on Friday and Sunday but that would seem pointless and would involve SO much paperwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlockRockinBeats Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Been off here for a bit. Been myself getting into Nothing But Thieves recently. They should be excellent live. As for any new acts, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Can't wait for sun, beer and music now. Hopefully no more rain and sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richycampos Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the food and drink coupons. Would I be able to use them in the Hive? I mean, are there places to buy food and drinks with coupons in The Hive or those can only be used inside the festival? I'm asking this, because I want to know if I should buy some extra coupons for Wendsday night. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
