And one of the only interesting names, Robyn, is also added to the only solid day Friday, leaving the other three majorly lacking. I can safely say I'm pretty happy I decided to trade my usual RW for DTRH this year.

I was really hoping for Thom Yorke and Parquet Courts, DTRH has both... :(

So they

1. Cut a load from the program on Thursday, no obligation to say this but selling tickets for the same price is shady

2. Clearly overpaid for Muse and P!nk shown by the other acts on those days

3. Booked a fairly uninspiring Saturday that only looks bad because of how bad the Thursday and Sunday are.

Friday is good though, for me best day of a fest in a few years, think that still might away me to get a ticket.

The way they've handled the Thursday is for me borderline fraud.. If they pull stunts like this, they should have informed about it in advance. I'm aware that there aren't any written guarantee anywhere in terms of number of stages and bands, but I don't think it can come as a surprise for them that people are buying tickets based on last years set-up. 

I would expect to see the festival going in the other direction and expanding, not end up like this. It's almost like they are in financial problems, and I never thought I would hear myself say this, but this might be my last year at RW (I've already bought the tickets). Not mainly beause of the line-up, but the Thursday-stunt which for me shows a lack of respect for your customers and also says that the festival is very unpredictable.

Serious question - anyone know the best way to resell a package? So not just the tickets but lodge and beer tokens too?  I can't see anything on the RW website other than TicketSwap and wasnt sure if that was just for the combi ticket?

Very disappointed with the line up. I appreciate that many things likely did not go to plan for the organisers, but as others have said we seem to have missed a lot of names that are touring and are at other festivals (and that you'd expect at RW) so it is hard to understand why we are looking at a pretty dismal final line-up.  Also agree with the point above re: Thursday.  Last year was the year showcasing the 'bigger better Barn' and it doesnt seem right that this year the festival is being downsized.

It's actually quite strange that they have decided to release all names today rather than in smaller batches like before, as I highly doubt that this final announcement will help on the ticket sales..

Richard Ashcroft and Zeal & Ardor are good announcements.

There are, of course, good band's to see this year but I think this year is not worth the money considering the tickets price in comparison to what you get. Hurricane, for example, have a much more solid line up imo. I will myself head to InMusic festival because I like the early 90s;)
