I guess also as recently I went back for just a day twice. Catfish day is all that's enticing me though atm and I can go to wales and get two other bands for much cheaper. Plus I'd leave after Catfish unless the 3rd stage or whatever other stage there doesn't have someone of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going since I was 9 so I always feel a sense of loyalty to Leeds, plus it's only 15 mins from my house so it would be rude to miss it. I always get a sense of excitement before any announcement because I know i'll be there regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went for the full weekend in 2012 really as we thought the Foos were basically guaranteed after playing everywhere else on first year of album touring. It was fun but it was when I realized I'm way too old to be there for a weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think last year was the first time I questioned if I'm too old and I was only 25 but I'll keep going as long as it doesn't go too downhill and become Wireless 2.0. On a side note, the lineup pages has been updated so I'd say announcement is imminent - https://www.leedsfestival.com/lineup#poster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCK Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I doubt gigs will happen at all until the New Year, at the least. Due to see the Manics in Cardiff in December but I've held off booking a train ticket and hotel room because I'm certain it'll be put back.

I'm expecting a whole big load of cancellations for Jan/Feb/March to happen over the next month or so. While it seems daft to cancel early, those who cancel late will have problems rescheduling, because everyone is now backed up for touring.

Day splits and they seemed to hint at a few more bands in the email, to direct quote: "we'll be revealing the artist day splits and... actually, we'll keep that a surprise for now."

CharlieDaRapper Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I'm going to guess The Hunna, Declan Mckenna and Sports Team. Just to start it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) I'm saying Wolf Alice (after being slated massively for not having enough female acts) ,Gerry Cinnamon, Sea Girls, Fontaines D.C, Slowthai, Declan Mckenna something along those lines... have got a feeling there gonna drop a lot of acts and change the poster to the classic form.
