[the wonderwhy]

I'm just eternally disappointed because I like their music. 

Its like watching yer mum do karaoke.

Primals seem to be a bit on the small side as a sub, imo 

Probs on par with Sampha, Father John, Future Islands, etc, no? Conversely they seem too big to play any lower slot

[dentalplan]

Yeah can't see them do anything else than main support. I think if anyone bigger got added, it'd be someone headlining North.

Talk about disappointing, I mean the line up isn't bad, but one headliner and some acts? Bore off

Yeah come to think of it the acts are a bit old, not as young as the acts that were playing last year's.

Danny Brown as well according to an article I read this morning. 

[DownboundTrain52]

Given that they came out of the gate with The xx and The National, two Pyramid-subs of considerable command, it does feel a little underwhelming or, dare I say it, half-baked.

That said, there's enough on that bill to make me interested; a lot will depend on who else they pull out of the bag in the next few weeks.

21 years since I last saw the Primals there. Half my life ago.

Christ that makes me feel old.

Is it confirmed this is its own day or part of the main 3 day fest?

Yeah, nothing to write home about for me either personally.

Seems like a strange day to pick for a first announcement, especially when Bon Iver's already being announced for festivals.

[zeppelin]

Eurgh I was really hoping, for my own financial state, that I wouldn't like the lineup this year. Then they go and announce the Chems! 

Throw Bon Iver on the Saturday please. 

So glad my mate lives around the corner.

Seems likely he'd do a Presents gig so perhaps they're gonna separate the two a little more this year

I didn't say I wanted the whole thing did I? But the quicker this or primavera announce their line ups the quicker I can decide between the two.

General admission is up to £75.55, according to DICE. It was in the £60s last year if I remember correctly
