I was thinking the opposite Unless they're doing Roskilde. Is there another big European festival in the same weekend that I'm not thinking of?

Sure, they can play Saturday, but this day seems to be intended for pop/hip-hop headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you've difficulties in guessing headliners, as seems hard for most European fests Muse must be a certainty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you've difficulties in guessing headliners, as seems hard for most European fests Muse must be a certainty... Unfortunately, The Cure do not have such a big commercial potential to break the habit of inviting Saturday pop/rap headliners, who, sadly to admit, attracted a majority of audience in recent years. I bet on Muse, but I also did on P!nk and The Cure. You can't be sure. There are still some more acts circulating in festival rumors, e.g. Kendrick Lamar, The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Raconteurs (Alter Art seem to get on well with Jack White).

HannahKirby Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Does anyone know why there’s so much secrecy about the line up this year? This is only my third time but usually there’s some announcements by now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are basically right about the announcements, but for 2014 and 2015 editions the first acts were announced in December. My subjective prediction for headliners: Paul McCartney, The Raconteurs/Smashing Pumpkins, Mumfords, Kendrick Lamar (or some other rap/pop act).

mln Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 There's another festival in Poland announcing its first big act today (Tauron Nowa Muzyka). I bet that Robyn will play here. As for Open'er, my bets for today: Mumfords, The 1975, Travis Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they moved the dates so it's right next to INmusic in 2019, otherwise I would've gone. I think your prediction is pretty spot on re Open'er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if I remember correctly Drake was a pretty exclusive deal that year, so this may explain why they preferred to book him for Wednesday rather than to not have him at all. Travis Scott on the other hand seems to be a smart money move - having a pop/rap headliner on both the first and the last day of the festival will make more people buy 4-day tickets.

ParanoidTourist Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm more of a rock guy so I hardly know who Travis Scott is.. Hope for some more intrestering names soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birchtree29 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Travis Scott always asks for a 90 minute time slot but ends 30 minutes early. Last year at Lollapalooza Paris, he ended his show after 60 minutes and both main stages where empty for 30 minutes which could've been easily used by Depeche Mode or Kasabian.

Colouring Book Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) I just had a look at recent line ups for this and looks good. Cheap too for ticket + camping? Has anyone been? I have read last year's thread but didn't glean too much from it. How would it compare to Rock Werchter? I've gone to RW a few times and looking to change this year with NOS Alive or Mad Cool Festival being the front runners for me.
