Guy Incognito Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thought I'd get this thread up and running as FD just posted this: Looks like I'll be missing it this year as will hopefully be at Primavera. Might be good to have a break after going three years on the trot. LCD Soundsystem seem the most obvious choice of headliner at this stage.

dentalplan Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Unless I’m reading too far into it, it seems like nuff change is going on. “Weekend of”, “upping sticks” with no specific venue and a pic of a dude in a sleeping bag although I don’t think I’ve heard of camping fests in London so I don’t really see much in that.

Can't see a camping festival taking place in London but it definitely looks as if they're alluding to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing that as it moving site in London, cos it still says London. I think there's been at least one festival that moved from viccie park to Clapham Common in the past, so that's my guess.

dentalplan Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Would be interesting and I think I’d be more inclined to go if it meant avoiding a late Megabus or a hotel stay, but it’s probably just a random picture of a dude in a sleeping bag init.

It's obviously moving for a reason, and if camping is that reason I'd guess it'll have to look further out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to go further out if that was the case, to areas like the ones you mentioned. They could obviously stay within central London if it wasn't going to be camping.

I can't think where might allow camping in central London, but there's been at least 2 city centre fests (in Guildford, and Leicester) which have done city camping - so you never know, it might happen.

Im not even sure they can have stuff on in June! Edited October 20, 2017 by zahidf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really see them allowing camping there, but you never know I guess. Councils everywhere live in hope of someone chucking money at them at the mo.

shoebox Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 The Instagram post is a collection of people asleep, none of the other images suggest camping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Be interesting to see if any of the other regular events in VP (Lovebox, Citadel, etc) are going ahead. Maybe the council has cut down? Maybe they’re asking for too much? Finsbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatteredscreens Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Wondering if this announcement means that we'll hear something about the line up next week. Along with the new location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Could it be moving inside somewhere & be a evening/nighttime thing? That Hangar thing they built this year seemed to be massively popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn_with_1_n Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Well continuing with that logic, Four Tet featuring on the line-up is pretty much the only prediction I have at the moment. This is only based on how many posts Field Day are retweeting about his new tour, and that EatYourOwnEars are working with him on that tour. I am aware he was there in '16 but given he has a new album out, that's the only guess I have going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SophieBee Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Looks like it is Finsbury Park - and back to two days: http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/finsbury-park-music-events-summer-2018?commentId=844301%3AComment%3A1025649 Shame, I was hoping for Brockwell.

Tuna Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Glad to see it go back to two days. Same weekend as Primavera - expecting even more crossover than usual. Much kinder on the wallet, legs and bum, too. So, The National could be a possibility? Also see Father John Misty in a high up slot. Four Tet likely to be there as @finn_with_1_n suggests.
