Park Area Announcement

[priest17]

Still waiting for a proper must-see OMG act for this year, was really hoping the park would pull one out of the bag for me so kinda sad it hasn't, I get they can't tailor everything for all of us every year though. I won't have to get off from my mates too much which will make life easier.

Bit optimistic putting Fontaines on Rabbit Hole though eh? I hope their supposed third set is on the JPT so I actually get to see one of them ahah.

Idles. It was known, but that is the set I am most excited for.

are you aware of heavy lungs? (playing scum)

check them out if not

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

I guess Pond will be in the John Peel tent then. Was hoping for them to be on the Park. There's lots on there but I don't necessarily think it's as strong as previous years.

Wasn't the Park going to be different this year? Extended hours or something else? Can't remember exactly what...

Slowly loosing hope for Young Fathers..

What happened to Bradley Cooper ?

Enjoyed Mattiel when she was on Jools Holland then pretty much forgot she existed. Will need to check out more of her music.

Seems like there’s two or three acts less on The Park this year. This is just a theory and probably wrong but given Idles are apparently on at 6pm and they’re pretty high up on that poster, I wonder if it might be closing early every night rather than just Sunday? Would avoid the potential Chemical Brothers/Hot Chip clash too.

Wonder if one of the missing acts was Santigold who pulled out. Maybe she's still to be replaced.

So looking like this?

Fri: Cat Power, Michael Kiwanuka, IDLES, King Princess, Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real, Georgia, Palace, Steam Down, Lankum

I hope you are right about the Friday line up as that would give me a good run of acts that I'd like to see.

Very much hand in hand with IDLES. At Boomtown Danny Nedelko came on sing the song of his although Heavy Lungs weren't playing. 

[kevbizarre]

Not much on there for especially higher up the list

King Princess, Mattiel, Soak and The Stonebridge Bar the only real highlights for me (I’ll probably be Killers Saturday night - really wish Hot Chip has been Friday a great way to start the big 3 days of the festival)

Not read the thread, has "Mic Artistik" been remarked upon?

Kurt Vile Vs Liam Gallagher clash confirmed. Gutting. My whole group will be doing Oasis Kareoke and will likely drag me there. Bollocks

If it’s any consolation Kurt was rubbish the last time they played The Park

[rzwodezwo]

Kinda was hoping for Rosalía as one of the park headliners but oh well. Where do we think she'll end up?

Only the bad spelling.

Vaguely disappointed that the Free University stuff is primarily music industry folk. So many interesting and engaging scientists, historians etc. that could do it but it’s a bit samey.

So does this mean no Bradley cooper?

Lukas Nelson co-produced and co-wrote a fair amount of the A Star is Born soundtrack. Expect him to show up then.

5 pages and nobody has mentioned the fact that Georgia has been added to the lineup

This now has me genuinely excited that Rosalia might take a lunchtime Pyramid slot. Stage by stage she's not yet shown up, and she is part of a big Latin-language pop insurrection on the charts... it could happen. It would be amazing.

I wish they could do something with Stonebridge. Extend the capacity and pimp it up a bit, especially if they're looking to alleviate the pressure from SE corner.

Mavis, Rosalia, Janet, Lauryn, Kylie, Sheryl and potentially Chris(tine) all on the Pyramid looks really good to my eyes. Statement stuff after all.

Gonna be parking myself there all weekend at this rate.
