Imagine if an act equivalent to Black Grape got booked to headline these days. Off the back of the success of the previous singer's band, and after just one album.

Very almost described Liam Gallagher there I think ...

you rock up with your camping gear, you wander through until you find a spot, you pitch up and settle in for the ride

Fair enough, looking at last years map Purple or Yellow look like decent shouts, Purple is probably slightly less busy tho is it not??

Just dug these out too! 1996 was the only time I’ve ever bothered with the signing tent!

Used to love dubstar on record, never saw them live though.

And ik there is a separate thread for this but anyone’s better than the others, I ain’t camped before so I don’t really know the process

Most people just go in the same one every year - I have been happy in orange and my friends have other years. Brown and purple i have heard are also good -- Orange is good as its near the arena and silent disco and fills up slower because its far from the entrances. Green is probably a similar balance too.

Good luck getting any sleep in Yellow

I know right! Nothing more important than a good red curry! Especially when you're waiting on the lineup announcement! Hungry times!

Found this from a guy on the tube, worth noting that in 2018 the first announcement wasn't until Feb 13th!

 

Means FA but it's pretty interesting to see the timelines of when shit was announced

[TownNation]

I’m only gonna say one thing about this whole lineup situation 

They need to pull someone HUGE out of the bag. If they announce BMTH and Travis Scott, a lot of people wont be happy including myself.

They need someone HUGE like MCR or Eminem tbh

No lineup ever gets left late because they plan to pull a HUGE act out the bag, if they had the huge acts they'd have released them weeks ago to sell more before people started buying tickets to other festivals, and that's a fact

[jumperofftheshelf]

@Dan Wilcox did say announcement was at the end of Feb. seems like it’s going that way tbh

Scheduled tweet through the official account set for Monday 🤫 

Edit: Just to confirm this isn't the announcement though

Is it announcement of the announcement? 🤔

[ob123]

An announcement on Monday saying that the announcement of the lineup will be on the 28th Febuary. Just imagine 

[heartsink]

Announcement teasing an announcement that will then turn into an announcement on when the announcement will be ultimately leaving us with the announcement strap in guys 

[CMDuffell]

Announcement

[Quorn]

Realistically it’ll be behind the scenes with some band from last year

[jamieaslee]

Where do we think Run The Jewels could appear on the lineup, R1 headliner opposite LG? They're working on an album with Rick Rubin apparently

With Dave being absent from the Wireless lineup, is anyone else expecting him to turn up at R&L again but with a massive Main Stage slot? I think they could definitely get away with having him sub.

I know you well enough that - if I agree with you that he's a sub - you're going to bump him up to a coheadliner later today.
