I didn't realise The Joy Formidable and Alice Glass were big/notable in the US and I'm pleased to see Bob Vylan breaking into America too.

Yeah heard about this a while ago but stoked to see it finally confirmed. Hope they come to the U.K. (and not just for a single London show).

One day I will make it over to this absolute beast of a festival.

Joy has toured pretty consistently since their first album so its not weird. They did a tour for Balloon Called Moaning when it turned 10. Alice has t done much in a while and the last time she even did a big tour was with Crystal Castles and opening for Depeche Mode.

Ritzy from TJF lives in the US and has done for some time, and they tend to record there.

I'm going to RF this year, pleased with the announcement generally, I've made a start on researching lower billed bands as there is a lot in the lower reaches that I don't recognise (which can turn out to be a positive of course).  Surprised they announced NIN, I know they were a rollover but their schedule made it look unlikely for 2022.
