What about Metallica?

Is that a serious question? 

- they don’t do festivals this year

- they too heavy for Opener 

- playing in Poland later this year

+ there's only a space for one co-headliner

Kylie Minogue for 5 July as a co-headliner (next to Smashing Pumpkins)

I think that may be the end of the announcements as they're doing individual posters of La Dispute, Octavian etc etc

Bit light. 

10 acts some days, 9 on the others.

No way, there are still 10+ acts missing on three main stages, including Polish names. On the other hand, I'd not be surprised if that's all, they are masters in disappointing.

Every year, there are around 15-16 acts on three main stages each day. Plus, they announced that today is 'a day full of announcements', so ending with 6 acts would be ridiculous.

I was looking at last years Clashfinder and I agree with you that obviously there are more to come. 

They said yesterday they are closing the main, orange and alter stage today. 

I reckon perhaps these first names are the last of the biggish names with smaller names to come later?

But there's part of me that thinks that's it for today. Just no confidence in them.

Yeah, if you look at the previous announcements, the pattern was always like: biggest name -> medium names -> small names and Polish names, so I guess that's all for bigger/medium names.

That's so pathetic. They announced that they'll close three main stages (Orange, Tent, Alter) and after revealing only 6 names, now they're announcing Firestone Stage. They're social media communication is one of the worst (if not the worst).

I disagree man, try with this.

[Rico_Pliskin]

I guess 3-4 acts each stage per day?

Still missing a stage as well, the Beat stage. 

 

[Rico_Pliskin]

1st day : idles, interpol, robyn, vampire weekend, the voidz

2nd day: Strokes, Greta Van Fleet, maybe Lil Uzi???

3rd: Smashing Pumpkins, Kylie, 

4th: Lana D Ray, Jungle, Anna Calvi

Pretty light for my tastes this year.

I follow the Nos Alive thread here and I know what you all going through, but trust me, Open'er is worse. Only this year, they announced twice that they are going to give new names on some day and then do nothing on this day. And it happened in previous years as well.

[Rico_Pliskin]

Alter stage announcement just now. 

[mln]

They officially confirmed that the line-up for 3 main stages is closed. It means that the number of artists is the smallest in the recent history of the festival: only 50 names as compared to around 60-65 each year (since 2015, when they introduced the division to Main Stage, Tent Stage, and Alter Stage).

[alan_ts]

 Lil Uzi Vert cancelled. 

[mln]

+2manydjs, Seth Troxler, George FitzGerald and some others for Beat Stage. Very happy for 2manydjs!

[Nicklord]

Don't miss Gerd Janson

Boom

A very good year for Open'er, despite the shitty weather. Many highlights: Vampire Weekend, Rosalia, The Strokes (the rain tho!), Jungle, Kamasi Washington, Robyn, Kylie, Flatbush Zombies. I wish I caught more of Stormzy. Not convinced by J Balvin and Lana Del Rey, despite the huge turnout. A well organized event, many good gigs, friendly people. Getting more sun and less rain/wind wouldn't hurt though, but I guess I'm just unlucky (or cursed?) this year.

This was my 9th edition and it was the worst weather, so yeah, I guess you're unlucky  

My best gigs: Kamasi, VW, The Strokes, Jungle, Anna Calvi.

This was my third outdoor festival this year and the third one wet and/or cold Whether it's south or north of Europe doesn't seem to matter haha.
