Boardmasters 2022

[Joel harvey]

Kasabian could be shout, new music coming out at midnight 

[Properbigfan]

Libertines 

[Properbigfan]

I think they’re going to go for the younger audiences personally

Outside pick but what about Muse? They are from the area and haven't played it before, definitely on the large side and not really for the main audience and only have IOW currently booked (which is fairly nearby but still).

They’re one of my 3. A very boardmasters pick (especially for Saturday headliner) imo 

would need to be 2 more younger-generational picks with it to appeal to the target audience the festival has got

[19liam75]

names at 5PM today

Gunna go with - Skepta, LG & Florence 

[gfa]

Chems moved a date today in Ireland, maybe some announcements from them today including this perhaps. probably clutching straws here

[Joel harvey]

Are the 1975 ruled out? Booked for 2020 but never happened 

[Properbigfan]

I hope it’s not flo and the machine or Liam Gallagher or kasabian. Blur reunion anyone ?

[RarerThanDandyB]

Hahaha that's shite even worse than Kasabian, Flo and LG

Was never going to be three bands really. If ezra was replaced by Kasabian would be very solid imo.

Friday is especially weak, solid saturday

[atomised]

Well that's a way to knock people's expectations 

[Properbigfan]

Yawn what a dry announcement 

[Will b]

that is awful

Are the headliners that bad?! Granted I don’t go to this but you’ve got someone who is being talked about as a Future Glasto headliner + KOL who sell out massive arenas.

Is it mainly the undercard that’s the issue?

[DomDom1984]

Two pretty big headliners there tbh, and one... not so big.

[Properbigfan]

Nobody has given a fuck about KOL since 2007

disclosure are a great dance headliner.

ezra is a decent enough choice just very bland .

last years headliners (bar foals) had that little bit of edge (granted jorja’s set wasn’t amazing) and it felt quite progressive.

hoping they can stack the undercard with some hip-hop, grime and some cooler progressive bands.

[Properbigfan]

Was kinda hoping for wu tang or skeppy getting the Friday slot you know 

[Will b]

on that note…

Who's meant to be the not so big? I would say they are all pretty similar levels although for the audience i'd probably argue Disclosure is the biggest, despite maybe being the cheapest and smallest in general. Shows its a good booking i guess and that the others are shit

[DomDom1984]

Disclosure are comfortably the smallest act headlining. More suited to the audience? Probably, but there's absolutely no actual way they're bigger than the other two.

Also depends on where Boardmasters are aiming. This could be a wild backfire depending on wherelse these acts are playing. And with KoL, you have a full arena tour as well as this which isn't a good sign off the bat.

[Properbigfan]

Genuinely think kasabian will be added as a sub. Potentially for Ezra. Bastille are subbing and I’d say the current state of kasabian are around that level.

Kasabian are far too big to sub and definitely bigger than Bastille. 

edit: even with new lead singer

Yeah they're headlining Isle of Wight. Clearly not gonna be subbing Boardies.

I think so. It's a pretty huge trio of headliners for Boardmasters. That said, they're all pretty mild choices.
