2023 Festival

[BenG92]

If Turnstile are at LnR and not Download I'll laugh into my pool of tears

[jonnyisRFC]

That will be well annoying if Turnstile get announced, means I’ll have to buy a ticket. 

[Newjem]

Turnstile are basically locked in, right? Saturday Reading, Sunday Leeds by the looks of it... 

[wro_lap]

Turnstile 4th down MSE?

[nathanh]

We are officially 1 day away from the new lineup. My guess for timings is probably the lineup will be at 12.

[nathanh]

My top 4 fairly safe bets are Raye, Mimi Webb, Turnstile and Yungblud

[BenG92]

Very curious to see if a band dump can shift a day ticket for me. Wouldn't mind Fender / Loyle / Bicep, if Turnstile get added to that day it could be a goer.

Return of Rex Orange County?

Absolutely! I'm buzzing. Really hoping YUNGBLUD either subs Billie (would literally be a dream) or does the special guest slot - but that's usually a rap artist (e.g. AJ Tracey) 

 

Very intrigued as to who will be added! Glad there's over 70 names, hoping there's a little bit of everything for everyone!

Hmmm intrigued to see how this sells I have a feeling it will sell out quickly still

I have to disappoint you, Turnstile won’t be there on Friday cause they have a show in Paris that day.

Yeah this is going to sell out quick. Will be interesting to see if more larger shows get announced

Will hopefully detail where everyone will sit,

Broco headlining the FR etc will make it look a lot stronger for those not into the headliner

Would make sense for maybe these type of acts to do double duty, mid main stage and then small tent headline

It’s happened a few times over the years 

May be a little small for Broco, or at least something they’d not want to accept, due to it looking a little small time. They barely filled it last time they did a ‘secret set’, so up against the headliners they’d be no capacity issues as such  

Seems like a good solution to their issue of getting decent FR headliners, would need to be the right kind of act, with a back catalogue to allow two differing sets though

[nathanh]

I know this is going to be speculation but how many mainstage slots do we think we have available still

[ModBoy]

Do we think Amyl and the sniffers are likely due to them playing APE on the Friday?

Most of the time playing APE makes them less likely

[Dukey]

Surely Broco can only be on the main stage? They’re touring Arena’s…

Probably

But potentially they could do both. A 40-50 min main stage set mid PM, followed by a more hardcore fan set in the FR up against Eilish.

More just a mad idea to make the lineup stronger than any kind of likelihood. Hopefully they can pull in a strong FR headliner anyway  

 

[foolee]

Don Broco vs Billie wouldn’t be out of the question. They need a big act to compete with her otherwise there will be about 1 person in the tent.

They’re also playing Victorious so they’re out.

That would be cool - similar to what Shikari did?

Yup, although it was just a DJ set wasnt it?

Fever333 were meant to do it in 2020, theres been a few over the years, nothing as big as Broco but given their secret sets fit fine, up agains Eilish wouldn’t be a problem numberswise, it’s just if the band would take that as a precedent for their size…
