(Mostly local djs I seem to remember, except some bigger act like Caribou last year). As I wrote before, if the schedule will be more or less like last year, there should be about 8 additional acts on Friday (inluding at least a co-headliner), 4 additional acts on Saturday and also 3-4 additional acts on Sunday (excluding the full Stage Four lineup). Most of the Stage Four acts are local DJs, but in the past there were also special DJ sets from bands performing at BKS. Also last year was the first year with the Secret Garden Stage, where a couple of bands did an additional, more intimate, show. There also is a chance that they might go back to the 2015 schedule, with additional spots on mainstage and some other stages, which could add more names to the bill than expected, based on last year. I personally really liked the early mainstage slots, even though not too many people showed up. In the past BKS had small announcements about every four weeks after the main announcement. If they keep up this pace there might be a new announcement next week. Edited March 10, 2017 by mellowmaniac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I'm not that happy with the "co-headliners" and am hoping for a couple of (for me personally) more interesting acts to fill this gap. Last year the addition of Air was such a nice surprise.

mellowmaniac Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Tomorrow at 14:00h CET Mairfeld Derby (who share 10 bands with BKS) will announce their Sunday headliner. MD has a smaller billing than BKS, but their Sunday headliner might be BKS' Friday co-headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDave Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Well Primal Scream are now playing Antwerp on the Friday so it's not them. Wouldn't be surprised to see Foals added. They love a good Co-headlining spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember they have already an esclusive show in Netherlands so they're not our Friday sub.

It's Rewire Festival "Having recently announced the release of their first album in 20 years with the celestial haze of lead single ‘Star Roving’, British shoegaze legends Slowdive head to Rewire 2017 for an exclusive Dutch performance."

Would be looking for a band slightly smaller than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Foals will be about as big as the sub / co-headliner will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tijn Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Ah, Fleet Foxes would have been great but I guess that the choice was either them or Run The Jewels as headliner for the friday. DTRH doing quite well this year, the two line-ups combined would be Primavera like quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellowmaniac Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Okay, Glastonbury just had it's first major announcement and we can start to discuss possible additions to the BKS billing. e.g.: British Sea Power, Chic feat. Nile Rodgers (yes, doesn't fit BKS, but I'd love to see them again), Cinematic Orchestra, Goldfrapp, Haim, Halsey, Joe Goddard, Laura Marling, Lorde, Sampha, Solange, The Flaming Lips,...
