Wide Awake 2022

Few days before Primavera so expecting a good amount of crossover. Presumably lots of overseas bands too as they were understandably UK heavy this year.

From that weekend, realistically, we could maybe expect: Bikini Kill, Parquet Courts, Otoboke Beaver, Tropical Fuck Storm, Sons of Kemet... (Yo La Tengo/Beach House/Slowdive as a big name if I'm being super hopeful)

Got my tix.

I’d love a few big name international acts like the ones mentioned above (Bikini Kill would be the dream). 

However, I hope they continue to emphasise the amazing amount of brilliant and young U.K. acts as well: Legss, Famous, Butch Kassidy, Deathcrash, Caroline, Anna B Savage, The Lounge Society etc. 

I could see Nadine Shah as one of the big names next year if she’s still touring. I’m sure Fontaines DC or King Gizzard would be popular headliners.

Cant wait for Caroline and Deathcrash to be drowned out by chatty Londoners

What's it like for checking ID? It says over 17's but my son will be a few months shy of that on the day. He already looks about 21 so in that respect he's fine but I just wondered if they are strict or not?

I didn’t see any checks made but I’ve got grey hair and a beard so am probably not the best yardstick.

Super duper early birds all sold out. Still a steal at £35.

Looks like we lost some of this thread when the site went down.  Reposting the poster for reference below.  I was just thinking over the weekend whether any decent bands would be booked for this year’s event as the line up is a major disappointment in comparison to last year’s (although Friday’s is decent but my ticket is for the main day).

The main thing for me is that there's not a huge amount of stuff that I can't see elsewhere this summer (or last summer) – it's really lacking a juicy exclusive. I'm sure it'll sell decently, and last year was good fun, but it could really do with a couple of good strong names to prop it up.

Phoenix are playing in France the following week, and have no UK shows, so I'd really love to see them added.
