moz4pm Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Just sent them this on Facebook 'The lack of band announcements or a headliner two months before the festival is really aggravating your paying customers and I dread to think what day ticket sales are like for the Friday. But the worst part is the total lack of communication from your PR team to assure people that announcements are on the way. Drip feeding us one band every few weeks is just annoying everyone. Think hard about how you communicate with customers in the future' Looking forward to the 'stay tuned' reply ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or pretty much so. Why would they hold back big names that would help sell tickets at this stage when most people have decided what festivals they’re attending by now?

Yatesbomb Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I am desperately trying to stay positive but I think this may actually be the final line up. It will be like three evenings of festivals rather than three days. Some excellent music to be had but will probably wait for line ups to be announced next time. If the strokes or tame impala were signed up they'd be announced already I reckon. I had such an amazing experience two years ago and the previous line ups have been stellar, I didn't hesitate to book up, flights, hotels, tickets straight away. The city is great and can't wait to see the cure and the chems but if this is it, it will probably be the last time I go. Hey ho, it's not like I'm flying from China or anything....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booked this festival because I trusted previous line ups. I’ll know better in future. Another festival I’m going to this summer (all points east in London) has basically all our major acts in one day. Ugh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yatesbomb Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 What are the dates of that festival? Actually any festivals in the North late July or in the south early August for recommendations? Even one day stuff would be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWanted2Be1OfTheStrokes Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 There is an updated poster on their Instagram Story which says '+many more' so that's at least ruling out the idea we've got the full lineup?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

young_contra Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I wouldn't believe that the current lineup is the final one, but then again, the one that they have on their website still has H.E.R. and is STILL (!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW????) missing Primal Scream. If they have acts already booked for the main stage that are yet to be unveiled - WHY are they yet to be unveiled? What a disgusting mess this is, of course we can all be positive and think about how much fun we'll have with a beer in our hands and the sun in our faces but right now there's a lot of planning to some people and that involves money and time. I can't believe how immature this festival's organization is, so oblivious of how silly it looks. I just want them to close the lineup at this point, I have 0 expectations. On a side note, I'd hope that wasn't the case but I'd be baffled if all they had planned as an headliner for the 12th was Childish Gambino and didn't set The Strokes as a priority. I have no clue how the negotiations would've went down but it's odd that they are playing multiple times in spain this year and 0 in Portugal, specially considering the dire scene regarding headliners this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
