Don't worry, thanks for the names you've given us so far.

I think we can expect almost all the big acts from We Love Green Festival like last year. Disclosure is no suprise.

I'm expecting some indie rock acts which are missing at Coachella because of Primavera LA.

 

btw on 29th January the line up of the Green Man Festival is coming. Last year they shared a few acts and I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same in 2020. Maybe Bright Eyes?

Surely Thom will be there, would be very odd for him to miss out given his other dates. Also, Glastonbury is yet to be announced and he's expected there so it's not impossible that he has more dates yet to be announced.

Agreed. The announcement about the tour roundup was almost certainly US-only. Wouldn't bet on him though.

Good point.

We'll get another APE day or two next week which will throw up some likely names.

Last year they had 9 top line, 13 second line

2020:

Top: Frank Ocean, LDR, Bad Bunny, The National performs HV, Massive Attack, Disclosure, Thom Yorke, Tyler TC, Kacey Musgraves

Second: Beck, Pavement, Damon Albarn, Max Richter, Chromatics, Yo La Tengo, Brockhampton, Caribou, King Gizzard, Flaming Lips, Devo, Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Gordon

Something like that? 

I'm starting to doubt Thom, though, after the Waste HQ message yesterday. Probably replaced with a rapper or pop act with a younger appeal...

Don't forget Young Thug.

I think we can still expect 2-3 women in high positions.

Lana Del Rey + Kacey Musgraves = 2 women in high positions

That looks pretty good. I'd probably try see all those that I've highlighted

[fartnugget]

I love Kacey Musgraves but is she headliner level in Spain?

The New Normal is still being advertised. So it would surprise me if there were not at least 5 women in the top 15 of the line up.

Top line could be 2-2-3, with two smaller co-headliners backing the rather expensive Frank Ocean, imo.

My guess is:

Tyler (we know he's on Thursday, don't we?) + pavement 

LDR + massive attack 

Frank + bad bunny + the national (hv set)

As far as I'm aware no but I know very little. Just a few names here and there

Be prepared to be surprised! I think they will justify it by still having 50% women overall and which other festival is doing that?

[fartnugget]

Massive Attack with Liz Fraser works for the new normal too. 

[Gregorick]

That’ll be Desire coming then

It really doesn’t....

I think this approach is problematic. Suggesting an all male band is new normal friendly due to incorporating a female guest vocalist, is like saying that a steak meal is vegetarian because it comes with a Brussel sprout.

Desire been playing a great cover of Bizarre Love Triangle (New Order) on the recent tour, hopefully will bring it to Primavera too.

That is an awesome analogy.

I don't doubt it.

In the next days there will also be an announcement of a pop act. I heard about a date in Germany shortly after the festival.
