Which festivals are announcing?

any scheduled for today?

- Tempelhof Sounds Berlin are announcing FATM alongside headliners The Strokes and Muse.

- Opener are apparently having a big announcement tomorrow. 

- Parklife will drop their lineup this week.

- I suspect Rock Werchter to recommence their weekly name drops this Friday. 

- Roskilde has been very quiet for a long time but still need to share most of their heads. This week?

Lots of the European ones are supposed to be adding names, Camp Bestival, Parklife and then the little ones like Truck, Tramlines have all been mentioning announcements 

They’ll want tickets on sale in time for January payday so yeah I’d expect a few this week.

Well there's already a TW Classic day planned headlined by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds on the 25th of June. Rumour has it they will add a second one headlined by Macca on the 26th of June. That would mean two proper legends in one weekend.

think alot of fests announce tommorow. im guessing glastonbury has allowed them to announce first before they announce.

If that was the case there would be a lot of fests that would be missing a bunch of names if they were forced to hold back on  artist announcements and nothing would come of tomorrow in a sense except who wasnt playing Glasto.

I meant what day is the announcement, should have been more clear ahaha. Cheers though. What a few days that would be. Hopefully we have the latter though...

No date but Ken said negotiations were in advanced stages and likely to be wrapped up for whoever they have

I doubt Glastonbury gives permission to other festivals to announce. As I said the other day I think GF is happy not to tread on other festivals' toes.

[Matt42]

I don’t think it’s a permission thing either but they will know when other festivals are announcing and probably wait until after they’ve had the chance to announce and get their tickets on sale.

I've seen him twice not at festivals and this has been pretty much my experience both times. I don't think he's a very good festival act. Which is fine because the same can be said for loads of acts. 

Decent booking though if they get him. Which they wont.

Kendrick at Leeds in 2015 was top tier stuff. Agree that his headline set in 2018 was lacking though.

He was confirmed for 2020 though if you mean Glastonbury won't get him for 2022? Would make sense as he seems to be resurfacing. 

Yeah I heard great things about the 2015 set, I'm not sure if it's because he was 'co headlining' and he had a very limited amount of time. I didn't like how the festival set was a watered down replica of his arena tour.

[Matt42]

Cruel. Paul isn’t allowed to tweet until we have a confirmation either way.

that suggests to me that he knows something is happening this week, that'll feed reform speculation, glasto announcement.

He's announced a new single i think.

Have heard from someone who works on a show he’s in Lin-Manuel Miranda has a slot somewhere, assume doing Encanto, Moana, Hamilton stuff.

That’s an absolutely incredible booking I never would have seen coming.

Edit: oh!

Fell for that one good and proper.

I do actually know someone who works with him, I’ll try and get a scoop!

[Suprefan]

Lets get Bad Bunny! He is doing stadiums now!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not in the UK he isn't.
