A potential run of The Distillers > Frank & The Snakes > ADTR > Foos is pretty tasty.  

A tasty reality.

Really does seem to be a lack of spaces for hip hop left. What've we got?

Friday: The 1975 // Some band // The Wombats // YMAS // ??

Saturday: Post Malone // Twenty One Pilots // Blossoms // ?? // ??

Sunday: Foo Fighters // ADTR // Frank Carter // The Distillers // ??

The Hunna will probably take up one of those spaces too. So 3 more spaces for hip hop acts. Certainly feels more like a return to bookings they'd have made 3/4 years ago.

Are Don Broco anywhere on the poster?

Love to see IDKHOW back this year following their debut last year.

Doubt it, that would make them play like what 3 years in a row? They're rumoured for 2000 Trees

With Enter Shikari opening that day that’s a mega lineup.

Thanks for all the info, @Dan Wilcox

Are any of The Pit / Lockup headliners on the poster? 

No, everything below R1 is listed alphabetically, no day/stage splits yet for lower stages.

They played 5 in a row before didn’t they?

All seems very weird, maybe they’ve just decided rap/hip hop isn’t whats selling them tickets I guess, its just people finishing their GCSEs. Still with post headlining surely there must be some kind of contingency. Maybe someone will be announced later to slot in somewhere as a sub/3rd rapper

That’s what I’ve been wondering but I’m not sure

[Mattymooz]

It does seem like awfully high billing for Frank. If it's true then it's pretty impressive for him, but it does seem a bit iffy.

They would have surely made a distinction between headliners and the undercard for the lower stages surely...

[Dan Wilcox]

Surprised it's taken this long.

CHVRCHES for the R1 headliner and The Streets or Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes third down Foos day? 

Is Frank really big enough to play 3rd down main?, I know Dan has just hinted it's basically happening but still.

To be honest @Dan Wilcox does have a history of being correct over the years, he doesn't just post shit for fun.

Thanks. Anyone there who might stand out as being a pit / Lockup band?

Any of it true?

[gfa]

Another thing; surely Frank Carter isn’t 3rd down mainstage like, thats where Kooks were last year who are headlining community or Blossoms the year before who subbed APE last year. Frank carter were at like 3pm on the second stage at APE i know they are good friends with the festival but surely they aren’t 3rd down thats crazy weak?

The Snakes trajectory has been insane. They weren’t even a band early 2015 and by the end of 2017 they had sold out Brixton. He’s got a lot of appeal so I think he will look just fine third down come August on this new album.

Maybe 4 sets across the two sites, opening with acoustic on the main stage, then the light show late on NME?

Loads of acts have done 4 sets across the 2 sites in the past, though, and that was never advertised as such. Used to always get an act playing mid-main then headline Lock Up.

Nah it wasn't. It was amped up. He even said "If I was a professional, I would have a pedal for this." Every other band I saw on the acoustic stage managed to get this bit right but this incompetent fool didn't so we had to listen to him retune his guitar through the PA system several times for him to only go and butcher Heroes by Bowie.

Why did you go to see Enter Shikari acoustic ffs?

Are The Brave Little Abacus playing @Dan Wilcox?

Shut up.

21 minutes ago, thewayiam said:

I'm guessing The Subways low main or mid NME Foo's day.

I'm guessing no, heading, co-heading 3 years later and subbing 3 years later again, nah. They are also a sub act now.

Christ if you really think Foals and Biffy Clyro are too small to be a "sub who could headline" you're more bafflingly dumb than I thought.

Anyway, I think this is him trolling again.

Edit: Yep.

He literally has done this several times and admitted it.

[Gucci Piggy]

Knew it was a lie cos Wombats are subbing.

I'm skeptical on that one, he wasn't even subbing main stage at Slam Dunk last year and I remember his last tour having dates for not the biggest gigs on sale for a long time.

Too good to be true.
