Manic’s possibly?

[addicted2noise]

I reckon it could be Arlo Parks.

Going by what's around at summer time, I'll guess it being one of

First Aid Kit, Loyle Carner, Wet Leg (don't think of them as a headliner, but they'd be lightening bottling their recent success...) Christine and the Queens, Two Door Cinema Club, Sigur Ros, Grace Jones

Sigur Rós are doing a UK festival exclusive on 2nd July in Berkshire, so not them I'm afraid. I would have loved to see them at Connect

Any prospect of the likes of Moderat or The Smile playing? @Mezhyp1

Both have gaps that weekend for the moment. 

The dream would be Portishead but I can't see that happening

I wish! 

 

The last co head has been mentioned now

With Lorde announced for Broadmasters could she possibly do this or way too big? 

[MichaelsBeard]

New Order?

Unknown Pleasures was the name of one of the small stages at the festival last year, so it's most likely just a reference to that.

 

FINALLY getting news of when we'll get an announcement is good, taken so long

mez said he's at connect and generally he is (not generally, always) a very good source for scottish gigs

[DomDom1984]

Peter Hook and the Light as part of a solid lineup could pull me away from Victorious.

This would be the dream. 
The Boardmasters poster has Liam Gallagher as a UK festival exclusive but Lorde doesn’t have that same categorisation

boygenius looking nailed on. Interesting to see what the rest of that day will look like.

Would love to see MUNA and Ethel Cain at Connect 

MUNA are playing R+L Sat and Sun so not sure if they would come up for the sat 

[DomDom1984]

Muna would go a long way to making me consider this ahead of Victorious.

[Fnmentaluk]

So announced on Wednesday. Ticket sales start Friday?

MUNA are playing R+L Fri and Sun so not sure if they would come up for the sat 

Muna and Ethel Cain playing the Fri and Sun of Reading and Leeds could that mean they're out of connect as not likely to come up on the Saturday?
