With the news today from neil that Saturday Other stage is 'Hippity Hoppity' - I would now place ATCQ on there. No idea if they would headline or sub or what. I always thought they were best suited to West Holts headliner, but then they have been announced as a Bestival headliner so who knows.

West Holts against Foos if PSB aren't in the mix.

that would be more than enough to keep me happy and not many clashes, theres a few i personally just don't see happening, like The Weeknd, but its an alright guess

Think Mac, Future Islands and FJM are exclusives to either End of the Road or Greenman  - Honestly exclusives can get fucked this year.

Otherwise - yes. I will take this line up a thousand times.

yeh mac and Future Islands are both exclusives - FJM isnt though

[mjsell]

That Saturday is a bit bare for me. And when I say bare I mean not too many clashes higher up the bill ('m a sucker for punishment) and not many must sees.

The Jacksons and The Hives would fall into 'must see' category. With Palace, RTJ, Whitney, Loyle Carner and BBK as the only others that would pique my interest enough for me to make the effort.

Friday and Sunday are stacked though so swings and roundabouts I guess

[Tuna]

What's amazing is just how possible a line-up of that calibre is. Like, that Park run on Saturday? Lord.

I don't think he is an exclusive personally. It's something that one ticket site reported but edited out of their final press release and they haven't made any noise about it - as FR often do as much as possible - so I reckon it must have been in error. If it was because they initially had him down as an exclusive but then had to remove it from the final press release that can only mean good things (if you like The Weeknd) but I mean that's just a somewhat flawed theory.

edit: he can't play Saturday tho so it'd be elsewhere to Matt's prediction.

Think it's more than likely Chano is doing a twofer and hitting up R&L at the end of the summer kinda like Kendrick did a couple of years back, so I see that filling his quota of UK fests sadly.

Edited February 23, 2017 by dentalplan

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I agree re: press release/exclusivity. Bugger about Saturday though - swap him for The XX then. Only put him there because of what Neil said about Saturday being hip-hop but I guess if he's just been told BBK (or some form of whoever is in BBK now) are playing then it's perfectly possibly someone completely different could slot in above them.

Wouldn't worry. If Foos have a long set and prep time, you can probably catch both them and Solange.

 

Nice work KC tho Beach Boys are en France on Sunday.

I like this a lot. Very realistic and strong in places. Only query would be, didn't they say no more park secret sets after Radiohead & Pulp in 2011?
