Anybody know if the 'Dynamo' listed is the magician, or these guys?

Dynamo the magician has done something in the Kids field before, I believe.

Will she be bringing that shark from the superbowl?

slim pickings so far for me.

 

Some stuff there though: First Aid Kit, Justice and Chic!

Didn't see him on the poster...

[RichieSpenno]

Shaggy and Craig David. 

It's happening!

Happy with that overall. 

[FrancisH]

We need the other thingy, the one that shows a comparison of initial poster and final line up, highlighting what stages and slots a second announcement might likely fill...

I haven't made that up, I'm sure.

I didn't see Slim Pickens on there either.

Can I assume that Barry Gibb is the legend?  Really? 

[majormajormajor]

Little disappointed tbh... Hope there is more acts like Elbow, Prodigy, Two Door, Temper Trap, Empire of the Sun to be added...

Theres a lot of pop and grime on there :/ 

Out of that poster... stand outs for me are: Foo Fighters, Alt-J, Major Lazer, Courteeners, Circe Waves and Shaggy. Maybe Royal Blood they are decent.

I totall agree. Shocked 2 door aren't there as they seem to be everywhere else. Do they announce more bands later on ?

Two Door played a big slot last year, but yes they do

[Eks101]

Overall pretty decent. Dissapointed there isn't a big 'electronic' act like Underworld, Chems etc of recent years. That line up is crying out for a Prodigy type act.

Major Lazer..? Prodigy couldn't be less relevant in 2017.

Didn't realise that. Oh well. 

[mirupuu]

Does that mean there is no chance of Bonobo and A Tribe Called Quest playing

How relevant is Barry Gibb?

[nikkic]

This is probably the strongest line up in 6 festivals for me personally.

At a quick count there's 26 acts that fall into must see or really want to see category which is crazy considering how many acts are still to be revealed.

He's playing the slot for acts that embrace the novelty side because they know they're past it, though, not hogging a space headlining the Other like The Prodge would insist on. 

[willd255]

Best line up in all years I've been
