FestivalJamie Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Just now, VCK said: My issue with the festival is that, judging them on the actual music, the line-ups get progressively worse. Male, female, whatever, the line ups are almost always uninspiring. Yep I agree. But there are so many females and male artists who could save this festival. And I would like to see a mix to diversify and rejuvenate the festival to its former glory. The line ups are just shit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Attack Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 If we could get Knotfest rebooked for the same weekend that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the plan is to rotate the stages by act. That's what he wants you to look at it like....but say you don't watch the last for eg I wouldn't stay around for Stormzy after Catfish unless say The Pit had The Cribs. 2 minutes ago, Jericode said: Honestly I told my girlfriend the headliners and the only one she was slightly interested in was Catfish. Then I pointed out she can just see them in Swansea for £40 and she just said "oh yeah, fuck it then". Exactly my think and have a weekend in Wales. I think I'm going to give SD a miss this year so.

I feel like they are, in which case why not just co-headline them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty13 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Some decent names there but how the hell are Disclosure headlining? I think they’ll pull the smallest crowd. Really disappointed that they’ve doubled their headliners & still not booked a woman. Completely ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I mean it’s not terrible. There are some good bookings in there it just doesn’t excite me really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FestivalJamie Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 When the only female on the line up is Mabel and she is the highest up, you know the organisers are sexist and haven't even tried to bother booking female artists.

Jne15 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think QOTSA, LG, Post Malone and Stormzy are v strong headliners.. AJ Tracey, Lewis Capaldi, Doja Cat and Da Baby will draw big crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efcfanwirral Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Will see how the rest of the lineup pans out - but QOTSA and Liam Gallagher is a very good Sunday night. Would watch Disclosure as I've never seen them and I'm sure the FR stage or whatever equivalent will give me something else to watch when the rappers are on. Amazed Catfish are headlining- they're headlining Neighbourhood Weekender up here in May, which is tiny. A few older indie acts like frank Turner, subways, cribs etc throughout the weekend and I'll be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyDavid Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Really dull headliners for me, you could easily have 3 of those headline with the other three subbing on a normal line up. I personally loved being in the radio 1 tent too, big enough to be spaced out in but loved the atmosphere in there, seems like the second main stage might replace that though (I'd guess?) which would be a bit of a loss for me. Will wait and see what more acts they announce but doubt I'll be there next year at all (usually go for at least a day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Can’t help but feel like QOTSA are just gonna die on their arses at this. Reading and Leeds just ain’t their festivals anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
