So do we think no further announcement tomorrow? I'm greedy

Maybe they'll just announce something without clues.  Are tickets on sale Sunday ?

[yosoyyoberdi]

Presale starts tomorrow, I think this is it in terms of announcements for a time now.

I'll hold off on tickets until more is announced and see if it's worth the expense.  A line up appealing more to me from BBK or Rock Wercher will get me going to one of those instead.

Out of interest....when have full weekend tickets for MC sold out In previous years?

2019 year they never sold out. There were tickets just before we flew out the day before.

Last year defo sold out because I tried to get tickets but was too late, after Arctic Monkeys were announced. This year didn't but was considerably weaker than 2020 i think. 

[Slix_Trix]

I am just trying to work out how long I can hold off in order to see what other festivals add. I read MC have reduced this year by 20k tickets too so that'll make a difference. I missed out on Glasto 2020 last month so now I feel every gig/festival I want to go to will sell out immediately. The Glasto sting scarred me for life ?

I’ve been losing out on Glasto for 5 years. Sickening feeling at the time but I’ve been to RW 3 times and NOS twice now. It’s awful watching G on tv but when you’ve a euro festival to look forward to after it, it makes you feel a bit better

[missnutmeg]

Does MC sell out quickly and do they do earlybird tickets or is it just fixed prices? (Also scarred by trying for Glastonbury tix ?)

I did RW in 2018 for Glasto's gap year. I am in no rush to go back there. I just found the whole thing lacking festival spirit. Line up was amazing but felt no energy or interest from the crowd. Almost like enthusiasm was not welcome. So I think it's between MC and NOS for me......with the slim slim possibility I manage Glasto tickets in April resale instead ? 

I think to be safe I will decide on something this side of Christmas anyway to lock it in.

Problem is, nothing on earth compares to Glastonbury. Best place to spend a weekend.

Agreed. Try as they might, other festivals just can't compete with the Glastonbury experience.....but still super necessary to occupy the minds of the dejected unsuccessful ones. With that being said, I will remain positive that MC could be the one to satisfy my festivals needs next year.

Ive been to multiple glastos, readings and 2 mad cools. I would rate mad cool has a flasier cleaner reading with the focus on artists, it is amazing and thwy are this year trying to expand on more non music stuff. Glastonbury is something else and apart from a couple of bestivals i have never found anything like glastonbury. Personal opinions of course.

[activean]

After seeing daily program with all confirmed names so far and considering some shity announcements going on at other festivals in the end this is going to be one of the best lineups in Europe again, at least for my taste. 

[The_Preach]

What do you guys think the other 3 Headliners will be? Kendrick? The strokes? Maybe RHCP? Maybe Coldplay was creating a PR stunt with saying they won't tour? I literally have no idea.

[Slix_Trix]

I am confident MC will have the best line up. I am just skeptical of it feeling a bit hollow in the way I felt RW was. Maybe thats just me. It would be unfair to compare anything to Glastonbury.....but I just like a festival where the fans are animated and excited to be there and I didnt get that at RW. I like a bit more than "heres the some stages with bands on them, fold your arms, watch them, now get out"

In the likely event that there will be another two big names for the Friday....my heart wants The Strokes .... but my head is saying it'll be two from RHCP / RATM / Arcade Fire .... but pure guess work.

If anyone is interested in buying tickets thorugh the presale, pm me.

FAITH NO MORE added

[clasher]

Instagram says July 11th, co-headlining with KOL.

Still no headliners for Friday...

[didinowanttohearthat]

So that is now 6 headliners? with none on the friday yet? wonder if there will be one or 2 still to come.

[pryce]

That's the wow band that I needed! The other fests will need to do something special now... Kendrick, arcade fire special

Good but bad.

That leaves 2 headliners open, I guess

[Red Day]
