Yeah mate, 3 weeks until final exams haha. Looks like I didn’t make it until the announcement though

Lucky mate, I have them dotted about the next 5 weeks. What type of exams are you doing?

[foolee]

Are we thinking 9am for the announcement?

9 12 or 5 are my thoughts

[Known-Radio]

Unrelated but Arsenal fans are protesting at 6pm so i doubt Reading/Leeds would plan to announce their line up at the same time. Im guessing 9, 12 or 2

Done a set of 45 mins exams for each subject before easter, then got 2/3 of each around an hour before may half term, then all done

I reckon nothing but thieves are a certainty, same with Tom Grennan, sea girls, the hunna. I would like to see Wolf Alice announced, would they be able to be capaldi’s replacement?

I think 9am so it gets any work breakfast/lunch time break attention.

Spot on.

Idles, Architects and While She sleeps are all realistic possibilities but not confident that we’ll get any of them.

Don’t re-start the debate about whether it’s a rock festival or not, we haven’t time for that today. Haha

Yeah. I guess for me though when at work I have my break just after 9. But midday would catch all. They are after all wanting to grab the  people that are talking A levels on here attention as the majority and that's 15/16 years previous for me lol.

It's just banging tunes and DJ sets. In all seriousness I'm not asking R&L to be Download but give us some variety against Stormzy/Disclosure/Post Malone etc

 I don't think R&L care about what a group of Gooners are doing 😄

There are many young football fans though, sky sports will be a focal point and deterrent so I get it.

But if they don't have much special then waiting all day isn't the way to get some good media feedback.

I do agree with this. I’ve been going for 13 years and the difference in lineups is unbelievable. Yes you can make the argument that “rock music has changed” and all that business but at the end of the day, you need a difference from stormzy and post Malone. That’s why I’m hoping FEVER 333 headlined the pit. What a band they are!

I don’t think they care to be honest, the festivals already sold out

Good job they don't announce on Sky Sports then.

[LazyDavid]

Thinking they'd move an announcement specifically around a football protest is a bit wild 😆

Actually yes this is a good point. I'm getting stuck in the promotion side whereby this can be as low key as they want.

Well it would be better than another round of Arsenal TV lol.

Exactly this, the festival is clearly on a trajectory towards pop/rap etc but without variation and alterative offerings then there isn't much point having other acts on at the same time as the headliners. FR don't even need to push the boat out but Fever 333, While She Sleeps and The Cribs would be a right set of Pit headliners
