See you at crystal palace, they fucking smashed it tbf, stacked undercard

 

[gfa]

London exclusives 😂  embarrassing that

[stanh]

I'm pleasantly surprised with the line-up very stacked undercard, especially having Cole, Doja, Carti and Gunna on the same day. Want to do both Crystal Palace and Finsbury Parks

[TGCarr]

Praying people complain enough to get Carti & Toliver at Brum 😂😂

[Travlarr]

Brum kinda got shafted a bit

Also, just my POV, but seems like BS this whole 2/3 locations thing. Just don't see the market for it w/ so many other festivals going big this summer and seems like it would be a real logistical nightmare for them as well

Not BS.

Very ambitious and logistics are one of FR's strong points 😉

Yup, gutted about Doja too - very tempted though to book Wireless now, but, there's a chance that it'll be one of the festivals I get scheduled to work at, so might hold off

Great to see three female headliners at Finsbury Park, and 4/9 in total.

Agreed! Great to see they’ve listened to feedback from previous years!

Also, found this poster online - looks fan made - but cool to see nonetheless. 

[wro_lap]

Especially when you consider MTS is there, who's headlining R/L, and Doja Cat, who was in the conversation to do so. Really great to see modern rap music not being completely dominated by men. Sets a great example for other festivals!

Birmingham still has a few high billed artists to come on the website.

 

I think alright for where it is. 

[stanh]

Any wants for names to be added on Monday morning?

For me, some more UK rap would be great to see (e.g Tion Wayne and DigDat), would also like to see Ckay and Tems added as well

[stanh]

wireless playlist for anyone wanting to get excited already!

central cee is a given, as mentioned early some "legacy" UK rap acts like ghetts or dizzie would be very cool, in fact doing an "SBTV" tribute stage would be very sick too, with artists who made it thanks to the channel

Man I really don't know where to go.

 

Wireless seems perfect as it's much closer.

 

But I badly want to see Carti 🤦🏽‍♂️

Personally I think Birmingham kinda got the short straw (at least, so far), Finsbury and Crystal Palace are much stronger imo - especially that Saturday run of J. Cole > Doja Cat > Playboi Carti, that is more than worth a day ticket alone I think.

Yeah copping Fri-Sat tickets for Crystal.

 

Not really bothered about Sunday bar Roddy. Plus I'll be seeing Tyler in Manchester in Parklife!

 

Need to see Carti

It's annoying I don't yet if I'll be working there or at a different festival - but tempted to book Weekend tickets for both Crystal and Finsbury. Yeah same with me about the Sunday, but then again, Tyler at Parklife clashes with Bicep, and I would really love to see them with the slot they've been given, really think that'll be special. The Sunday though at Wireless (CP) has got Baby Keem and Kali Uchis who I have wanted to see for quite a while now. 

 

Forgot to post it last night too, but Nicki Minaj tweeted that pre-sale tickets for her day have sold out!

[stanh]

from looking at the 'tba' section of the lineup page on the website, it looks like this is what we have left in terms of to be announced, not sure if we will get all of it in the morning... but i'd imagine we will at leas get a very hefty chunk of it!

 

crystal palace:

friday: 3 main stage / 6 palace stage

saturday: 4 main stage / 8 palace stage

sunday: 2 main stage / 7 palace stage

 

finsbury park:

friday: 3 main stage / 2 second stage (5 others?)

saturday: 5 main stage / 9 second stage

sunday: 6 main stage / 8 second stage

 

outdoor @ the nec:

friday: 4 main stage / 6 second stage (1 other?)

saturday: 4 or 5 main stage / 9 or 10 second stage

sunday: 4 main stage / 9 second stage

Yeah I think we're getting majority or the rest today!

 

Few big blanks left for Brum. But I'm unsure they'll get many massive international acts and more UK.

 

Still tempted to cop Sunday for Brum as it's close to home

Fivio on that Friday will be fucking disgusting 

My lord
