2021 Lineup

[OnlyRevolutions]

Can't take this waiting anymore! assume there's not going to be an announcement today now so if it's not tomorrow we've probably got another week of waiting, the anticipation is killing me.. just need to know if R1 is in the mud or not

[Jack.194]

Looks like nothing today, really hoping we get something tomorrow - I was absolutely convinced we’d get an announcement this week but I’m a lot less certain now

Just out of curiosity, do you think they'd of made an announcement yet if tickets hadn't sold out?

[Jonathan Jonathan]

Pretty sure they self confirmed a while back but Circa Waves tour is now mid August so they’re probably a solid

Sounds good to me, some great songs and the rest of them are enjoyable enough

[TheWaters]

Been told the introducing stage will deffo be a thing this year by one of the bands booked. Don’t think anyone was doubting that stage was coming back but thought I’d put it out there anyway as we’re not really certain of anything at the minute

Which band was that?

[LeedsFest20]

Just seen this from sports team announcement in September, “main stage” - what does this mean for all the acts in terms of what stage they are playing??

Not gonna reveal cuz it’s a mate and not my place to say & they probably weren’t supposed to tell anyone they’re playing themselves but they’re an up and coming indie band with about 20k monthly Spotify listeners.
 

Watch out for when one of the R&L headliners announces a tour for the end of the year though, they’ll be a support on that.

was really hoping for them in a tent up against Stormzy so that i would have somewhere to be during his set, they would of also smashed a set in the FR.. gutted

Reckon it tells us there is probably way less thought going into these posters than we speculate. At present I think it’s just a collection of names sorted to the right days. Rest is up in the air

[NoBuses]

Vistas are on tour with Circa waves. Hope they pop up they are class in 2019 

[OnlyRevolutions]

Girl in Red / Sea Girls / Beabadoobee is my guess for the FR tent then, but Sea Girls can be swapped out for pretty much any act thats at NBHD

So basically look at whoever catfish and the bottlemen’s next tour support is...

[OnlyRevolutions]

also just noticed this on the article that was posted on the website when the line-up was announced

'Yeah that’s right, 2 main stages, 6 headliners and no clashes between the headliners. We repeat NO CLASHES!'

'no clashes between the headliners' implies that other acts lower down the bill could clash with each other, so maybe these stages aren't going to be as close to each other as we were expecting and that MSW can just act as the R1 tent with acts playing when other acts are playing the main stage

Could be true - and then maybe 8/9 bands per main stage 

[Creasin]

Im praying that R1 is still a thing and I could see AJ Tracey having a headline set whilst Catfish are playing and then a closing set from a DJ when Stormzy is on - would love to see either Shy FX or Fatboy slim or maybe even DJ EZ, all would be immense.

yeh not confident that there'll be an R1 stage now, they can just have all the acts that they would of had on that stage and throw them onto the new main stage.. consider our R1 headliners Catfish, Disclosure and Queens but instead of playing when the headliners are on it'll be just before

That would sort out the problem of losing a load of acts then. While it'll be a shame to lose the atmosphere of the R1, my main concern was the number of slots lost.

This brings a new factor into the placement of the stages though; can't have the two stages too close together if they'll have acts on simultaneously.

Edit: The wording of that article is too specific for me to overlook it. I don't have hope for the R1 anymore

Think they've said no main stage clashes since then, feel like the crowds will be very small for some acts if they do clash. will seem even smaller being outdoors rather than a tent

imagine the other stage could be positioned where the R1 was? would work at both sites i imagine.. the previous R1 backstage area could now be used as the backstage area for the main stage and it should be far enough away from the other main stage to prevent noise bleed.. not sure about the smaller stages though

They’ve since come out saying no main stage clashes, they’re alternating 

Makes no sense, the whole idea is no time between acts on the MS.

Radio 1 tent was rammed for Sea Girls in 2019, I can't see them being on FR stage.

[Andre91]

We can’t be talking where the stages will be placed again. 
 

We can’t be talking about whether the R1 stage will still be a thing again. 
 

Damn it, this thread needs a lineup announcement ASAP.

Sounds like they decided they didn't need as big a lineup since they can sell out the festival anyway. Shame
