Bisque Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Is anyone in agreement that Euro fests tend to be top heavy (as in big headliners & crappy, ok not crappy, but undercard) & undercard a bit vacant. or is it because those acts don’t transcend to the UK? I thought this at Mad Cool 2018 & Szigiet last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get a lot of EU acts and DJs that you wouldn't normally see too. But I think the line ups also look fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only went to Mad Cool because a facebook chat you well know enough made me buy a ticket & I forgot after a night out & Sziget just for Ed Sheeran & The 1975. Martin Garrix happened to be a decent bonus along with a few other bands & Franky Turner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all bands I would see at first glance that aren't headliners. As someone said above, it might be to do with your music taste/what you listen to rather than it being a poor undercard. And even if you weren't aware of a lot of the bands, still go see them, thats what festivals are for, discovering new things and new music?

kalifire Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 I seem to remember the LDR chatter here being about her not appearing. Can someone remind me why? Seems more likely than not given her dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems more likely than not given her dates. Her last EU date thus far is in Paris on June 7 and then she’s playing Bonnaroo in the US not long after, so seems unlikely (but not impossible) she’d come back for Glastonbury, especially with no other dates announced around that time (as of yet).

It's the most beautiful lineup poster ever to have graced the internet. Including the fake ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
