stanh Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Adding some more to my playlist, some of the smaller rap and dance names are decent - still quite disappointed though, it does seem like this year they are trying to please too many people, obviously they have some great headliners, but just was expecting a better and stronger undercard tbh. I am sure it'll still be a fun weekend, and thinking about it, most of my memories have been from the camping (and Co-Op) side of it, not in the main arena - so am gonna try and stay as positive as I can be, even though I really am not a huge fan of it.

The big names are all gone. Still some spots for those bigger than Poppy and Bru-C you’d hope 🤣 Otherwise the 2 main stage thing is an even bigger crock of shit that thought (and I like poppy, may also like Bru-c, never heard of him/ her/ them though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad75 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Do 1xtra and 1 dance headliners clash with the main headliners? Do will Wilkinson and krept and konan be on at the same time as AM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 There was around 11 acts per day on the Pit last year so there is plenty, plenty more to come. I think it's pretty guff how they've only got 4 acts confirmed for one of the days, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Kinda glad I didn't get an Arctics tickets now, twickets would need to be a fairly reduced one to bother with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad888 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 The only way they can make that announcement look good is to fuck off the 2 Main Stage idea and go back to Radio 1 and 1 Main Stage. Main Stage// Dave + Bring me the Horizon >> Megan Thee Stallion >> Polo G Arctic Monkeys >> Wolf Alice >> Enter Shikari Rage Against the Machine >> The Kooks >> Run the Jewels Radio 1// Bastille >> DMAs Rex Orange County >> D-Block Europe Don Broco >> Little Simz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rivalschools.price Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 31 minutes ago, Chad888 said: 1 more for lockup, 3 more for pit to come How do you work that out? There’s normally have about 12 or 13 bands per day. They’ve only announced 5 or 6 for each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still 5 months away - surely by announcing later it gives them more time to get up-and-coming bookings that will look strong in future years?

foolee Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Also, does anyone else think it’s really weird that RATM are headlining the Sunday and they’ve not really put any other rock acts on the main stages but also put FR on that day and not a pit/lock up day? Would’ve made more sense if they weren’t going to bulk up the main stages with rock acts. Hopefully Limp Bizkit, Don Broco or MGK will be added later on. MGK would be made for that day as well having Halsey and Willow playing. Feel like it would be better to get rid of the comedy/alternative stage and turn that into a separate FR stage so you could have 3 full days of FR and pit/lock up. Also echo everyone saying that it’s a bit rubbish that they’ve not announced many acts on those stages. Who are we thinking will be the TBC headliner on Saturday? I assume it’ll be someone playing Slam Dunn or Download, Creeper possibly? Which would be a shame as they’d get a handful of people watching clashing with either BMTH or AM.

They could have just moved Frank Carter, Fever 333 or Black Honey to the Rage day and it would look a lot better for Rage fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyRevolutions Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Apart from the headliners this year is looking pretty average, only excited about three of those new additions (JPEG, Danny Brown and Bakar) although I do think Joey Valence is an interesting addition, I've seen his Tik Toks and all his music serves as a love letter to the Beastie Boys, definitely worth checking out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukey Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I mean, KennyHoopla was on that stage last year so it doesn’t surprise me there are random acts on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad888 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Tai Verdes is a very odd one for the dance stage. He's California stoner chill music, he's the sort of act that would be great earlier main stage in the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumvirate Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I reckon PUP will probably play The Pit on the Saturday. Went to buy tickets for their UK tour just now and saw they are playing a festival in Malaga on Friday August 26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
