Not too bad in the end to be fair...

Yeah I was thinking "not that bad" as well, at least concerning the headliners! I'd have something to see every night if the Saturday TBC is good!

Strokes?!?!?! WTF? This is big suprise for me, they do not play Werchter or Roskilde this year. Line-up is weak for me but Strokes and Vampire Weekend are really strong. What about Bon Iver for Friday? They will play in Switzerland on Sunday 7/7.

Bon Iver are very probable as a co-head with Smashing Pumpkins on Friday.

As for The Strokes, read the latest posts by Ken19 in the NOS Alive topic. The Strokes are a last-minute replacement.

I think that Opener did not have any good headliner so they had to overpay Strokes. And Strokes wont play anywhere near. So really good shot for Opener.

I think they had Childish Gambino, but it didn't work out. Guess we'll never know the truth.

Weird it took them so long to announce her, but pretty decent. One more to go.

Probably she wasn't their first choice. I'm not her fan, but pretty good addition for a pop Saturday slot.

Disapointment for me, she plays in Poland almost every year. Krakow festival, Orange festival...

She played in Poland in 2017 the last time, so it's not that bad, but yeah, you're right, nothing extraordinary. I'd say it's a very safe choice.

Quite like the line up for this, are there still more acts to announce over the coming weeks?

There is still one co-headliner missing for Friday. They should add some medium size names (5-6) for this day and others as well. I also think that Wednesday is missing at least one bigger name for Main Stage.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
