Looking very much like Radio 1 have struggled with their line-up too, which follows the industry trend this year.
I think RAYE will be a good headliner, but for any artist jumping from sub headliner on the second stage in 2023 to the main stage headliner, on the same album cycle is a very interesting (if not odd) choice.
The real disappointment seems to be the undercard, with the exception of The Last Dinner Party, there isn’t a lot going on away from the Main Stage in terms of a decent pull.
If I get tickets I’ll check them out of course. I do enjoy seeing more variety. I think this is an example and goes to show we’re all in need of fresh meat coming in that can pull in the crowds, which since COVID there seems to be a real lack of, in my humble opinion.
Not sure if they'll go for them. In the podcast, James said they were offered Mallory Knox in the same episode he was criticising bands for disappearing then reuniting a few years later and expecting more money.
Last year was way superior in terms of a line up for me - I would highly recommend it however, really good venues and set up perfectly with all the stages in decent walking range with minimal confusion for someone that doesn't live in Manchester.
thinking of possible minor new names,
I would like blood incantation (one date only in 2024) and a.s.o. (If I am not mistaking, not at sonar and primavera-material) to be added
