Apparently they're posting a new hint every hour. People on a different forum already figured out Floating Points and American Football.

What forum is that (possibly english speking?), I would like to partake

Also, never thought I'd have an Instagram account, and look at me now. 

Five clues so far, another one probably on the way?

Soulwax been mentioned. This is a good thing.

The clues are:

1) <-- screenshot -->

2) Numbers and perhaps *floating points* - (screenshot already posted)

3) A tree, with several birds/animals/planes?/things flying over it (so fast you can't really make out what they are exactly)

4) Black background, a white skull is falling down and rotating a bit

5) American football ball flying through the air, quite high too, it appears

People guessing that screen shot is Soulwax

As for the flying things - could be Flying Lotus, NGHFG (doubtful)

God knows about the rest, apart from the american football, which is well....American Football.

The skull one could be Woods? Check out their last album cover.

They do have two Dutch shows in March,  though...

 

NGHFG headlined in 2015. No way he's coming back so soon, right?

Can't see it.

New Spoon album cover features a skull, too...

(and so does JMJ's Oxygene and probably a million metal bands)

Floating Points is also 100% certain

 

[mellowmaniac]

BTW: has someone mentioned the new "This is not a love song" confirmations yet?

Primal Scream - The Make Up - The Black Angels - Danny Brown - Echo and the Bunnymen - The GROWLERS - Mick Jenkins - Shugo Tokumaru - Whitney - Andy Shauf - Baroness - The Coathangers - HMLTD - shame - Alex Cameron - Goat Girl - Rocky - The Blind Shake - Archie And The Bunkers - Johnny Mafia - Hidden Charms - Baptizein & Secret Yolk - Laura Sauvage

[DDave]

Looking possibly a bit more unlikely for the Twigs and Phoenix...sorry for the scary picture

Outkast are doing Orange Warsaw on 15th. A week before and a week after they are in the US. Coming to Europe just for one gig?

You sure you're looking at the right year?

 Better go sleep now.

Something felt out of place there -.-

My apologies.

BOOOOOM!!!

An incredible lineup so far. Are we sure RTJ are the third headliner? I love them.

Happy for James Blake, Metronomy, Ry X, Soulwax, Thindercat, Arab Strap.

Also the dance side is excellent: Vatican Shadow, Laurel Halo, Joy Orbison.

I'm very very happy.

 The wait has been rewarded  

 

edit: RTJ are definitely the third headliner

Very happy with that apart from the 3rd headliner. Massive disappointment.

[DDave]

No Thee oh Sees as feared. King Giz, Soulwax, Whitney all massive highlights and Thundercat is the icing on the cake. Didn't think we'd get him.

RTJ though....sub at best :-(

My thoughts exactly

There's still some 40 names to go, what can we still expect? Surely not just fine print on the posters?

Agree, they're one of the best hip hop act nowadays but I didn't think they have an headline status...anyway It's ok for me, I'm a huge fan.

I'd probably expect acts that maybe have Dutch dates to still play. 

Hopefully a strong sub for RTJ and few more dance names.

[Trufflehound]

Very happy with Thurston Moore, Arab Strap, Strand of Oaks, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Soulwax...

Junun ft. Shye Ben Tzur & The Rajahstan Express could be the first time I have ever seen a "ft." artist live. I normally steer well clear. Jonny Greenwood has played with The Rajahstan Express before (in fact, he's in the picture of them on the website), so I'd expect him to make a guest showing.

 

Around 20 names in the small print I don't know, so plenty of research left for me.

[clasher]

King Gizzard, Cigarettes after sex, Circa Waves, Chris Cohen and Kaleo for me. Plenty of other promising stuff too. Some research to do and give RT J another chance

someone just did this clashfinder.

When I come back home I'll update the Spotify playlist  

[DDave]

No Fleet Foxes or Flaming Lips, that's the biggest surprise for me. Thought they'd jump at the chance to book them

I'll need to give James Blake and George Ezra a listen. A lot of these male solo artists come across as a bit generic and I might be missing something decent if I don't give them a go.

It was kind of expected with them going for a smaller, third headliner after booking Jamie xx last year. I for one like RTJ a lot better, will be a massive show but that day will need help to get sold out. For the other 59 names - not much for me in the second group of names, but it gets much more interesting down the bill. Arab Strap, Thurston Moore Jenny Hval, Kikaguku Moyo. Sunday looking mighty fine already.
