moz4pm Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I genuinely think the organisers have forgotten that they're putting on a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. A ton of great bands have already been announced. A ton more great bands will be announced. The festival will take place in July, the lineup will be done by then. You lot were just spoiled to get so many regular announcements before Christmas ? If you're all bored, go look at the INmusic thread where they slowly drop one act max a week, with no indication of where on the lineup they'll be, so you wait and wait for a headliner to be announced, only to find out Sumski are headlining.

young_contra Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 It is not normal for them to take this long however, we're not even asking for headliners, I dont understand how the second day has so little names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam_2316 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Correct me if im wrong, but previous editions of this festivals lineup have basically been complete by this point, let alone the headline acts. As many have already mentioned, if they have a big headliner up their sleeve it seems bizarre to not announce, when people are booking tickets to other fesitvals based on the lineup. However, if nothing is yet to be confirmed on the inside, then we should be worried, because there arent loads of great acts left to choose from! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Ferreira Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Last headliners from last year was at the end of January. Next headliners will be towards the middle of March to sell tickets for Easter. Or a very large band that had already contracted failed with the organization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, I notice in my festival tribe some reactions like "too late, I've already bought my ticket for Bilbao/Dour" (and there are many other big European festivals at that moment like TRNSMT or DMF). We're used to book festivals before February... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I booked my ticket off The Cure alone and based off previous trips to the festival, there's plenty on the lineup for me already but not everyone will buy tickets without seeing full lineup first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, booked tickets based on Bon Iver when I should've just waited and caught them in London. Now regretting it but I love Lisbon so it's not catastrophic.

young_contra Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I have a one day ticket yet to redeem and the wait has been absurd considering what we are used to. I get that we are moaning a lot about this but you just can't convince me that it is reasonable for this festival to not announce other main stage acts for the second day, for example. Bad PR and poor predictability of how things roll out usually just makes people impatient and with a gradual loss of care about what's being offered and/or yet is still to be offered. This, as people have said here, leads to other festivals being more attractive. I just dont get how this is sustainable and I hope it is a one time thing. Just announce the likes of Foals and Tame Impala... Anything... The second name only has three relevant names and we're at the end of February already 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryce Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 pretty sure 2015 they announced a lot of bands late feb/march ....Beni and Bilbao and a lot of other festivals do not have everyone announced, and I don't see people saying that those festivals are falling apart and treating customers badly! I am sure news will come soon and you all will have a great time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchtree29 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Do you guys have hope though? We have already seen the full lineup of Lollapalooza Paris, Berlin and Stockholm and none of them announced an artist that has not been announced before. It’s not like there are 10 big artists that have contract obligations or waiting for March-April to announce their whole tour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
