Which one? They're all Belgian! ?

Tickets stay the same price + the National playing twice and in the Marquee was the bands idea btw

Good point well made. The one with the strong stuff!

I tend to agree. Noticed there'll be no dance closer in the Marquee a la Justice this year, at least not on the Friday & Sunday and would imagine it'll be a midnight-ish finish for that stage this year. Can see a return to proper 1am dance closers on the main after having the XX and Arcade Fire closing it in recent years. Would probably be the likes of Major Lazer, Netsky, 2manyDJ's and maybe the Prodigy at a push.

Been looking through a few old pictures and found these - Evolution of a headliner!

Tame Impala in the Club 2010. I've got a set list somewhere but can't find it. Will post a pic when it turns up:

[Semprini]

Twenty One Pilots back in 2013. Speak to any of their hardcore fans who've been following them from the very beginning and they'll tell you they were all there - all 20,000 of them  Think they'll get a few more this time though...

we don't have to expect a name like the foo's ore something that big , they are definitely going for the stronger undercard. Still i would love to see them again.

Good start, looks very promising after all the average lineups around the Europe this year.

New art dome to be at the festival this year 

I'm gonna guess at Idles, Shame, Bullet for My Valentine, Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes, Good Charlotte, Orange Code, A Day To Remember & The Hives for tomorrow

These bands would not satisfy old school rock fans...

I am wating for some of those names mixed with some classic 90’s bands as Pennywise, Refused, The Distillers, Bush...

Idles is an amazing band. It would be great seeing them at a late spot in the Club.

Pennywise and The Distillers are around, Refused are at Graspop and Bush are... shit! ?

Don't be too optimistic, beer choice is quite poor

So rock tomorrow eh? 

Hoping for the likes of Eels and Courtney Barnett then. 

Think they'll be in the indie section?

Franz Ferdinand seems like a certainty. 

Friday Marquee sub or Saturday Marquee headliner is most likely I think. FJM on before The National on the Sunday too. 

Best thing they can do for me is to book Idles in the Club so they clash with a terrible main headliner - Post Malone etc.
