WFD Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Only looking at Leeds, it looks like there's still a bit of tidying up to do e.g. the app shows an unusually long set on Dance for Jaguar Skills. Looks like they've rushed it out a bit, and they haven't included the Alternative stage at all. Closing down FR/Pit early on the Sunday so that the only choices are Post Malone / Andy C / Mura Masa is a strange move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontsidecab Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Pretty sure that 2:45pm BBC Intro Secret Set on the Friday will be Circa Waves, considering their dead-on clash with Royal Blood. Maybe Blossoms for the Saturday and then Sundara/SWMRS for the Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Y Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 The main secret set could be an earlier open to the r1 stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the alternatives to Post Malone were looking grim before i was aware of the plan to close the FR/Pit early, looking worse now.

SemiSweet Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 So if I don't wanna watch Post the only other options to finish my weekend are Andy C and Mura Masa. Great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfc_478 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Whereas finishing the lock up early on Sunday mates sense, Sat Reading FR is certainly a weird one. Thought that Peace were a reasonable alternative to Post/Mura Masa but that’s not going to be the case. Very odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NerdsNatterings Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 The lack of alternatives at headliner on Saturday is baffling.. Peace seemed an obvious one to put against Post Malone.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWaters Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 The fact that the three headliners i’d happily watch Saturday reading all finish early (Ghostemane, Octavian and Peace) really annoys me. Left with Post Malone who’s w*nk, Mura Masa who is bang average and Andy C. Andy C is good don’t get me wrong I’ll probably watch him but Jesus Christ that’s really annoyed me. Second half of the Shikar headline clashing with first half of Sundara is also annoying but I can cope with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeddingatReading Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 The more I think about it the more baffled I am about them having Peace close the FR stage early. I can’t see any reason for it, they surely aren’t going to have much of a fan crossover with Post or Mura Masa. Is it just because they want a bigger crowd for Post?

I can't remember them ever closing that stage early before, and that night seems like the least opportune time to do so. I don't think they need to worry about Peace dragging people away from Post!
