Its 80k isn't it? Thats far bigger than Wireless

Aye but as he said below.

MTS, Tyler, the creator, 50 cent and Capaldi were not getting say the main Reading spot whereas Travis obviously does. Even this year, Capaldi is only only on the MSW one.

Travis Scott isn't the style of rap they go for anyway, but if they wanted to change up the bookings significantly and get a more suitable mainstage he is a possibility - lots of ifs there though

Maybe they have somehow bagged frank ocean again seeing as he has done it before they might have links managment wise

Incredibly wishfull thinking though

It'd be a good booking, but his set in 2017 was very disappointing, I'm sure others may have loved it - but I left feeling really underwhelmed, as much as I love and rate him as an artist.

Given another shot at a lil' prediction before the lineup comes out at the end of the month... I have brought in Solid Grooves and Glitterbox as the 2 'new' stages, and then the 5 new 'headliners' (basically just the top line of the poster) as Aitch, SZA, Jorja Smith, Fred Again.., Central Cee alongside Major Lazer or Khalid (both have either had headline status/headlined a stage in past years that have gone ahead). Haven't given a look at tour dates or anything so some of the acts may not have dates (or at least so far) for this year. Aitch and Fred Again.. at this point seem like lock-ins, and KAYTRANADA seems very likely with him pulling out in 2021 due to travel restrictions at the time, and makes sense with him being in Manchester on the Saturday for The Weeknd tour (as a support). The rest of the names and stage takeovers make sense to me, but obviously it is Parklife so could be very far off, as they will often throw in some complete and utter curveballs and random names/stage takeovers nobody could have predicted, alongside the usual repeat acts and Warehouse Project favourites. As for Parklife FM I have just put '???', don't really have a clue where to start with it, but if it *did* return back again this year it'll probably just be a mix of on-the-rise trajectory names and some WHP resident DJ's.

Probably no Central Cee and PinkPantheress for Parklife then.

Tbh, I reckon it's gonna be another lineup this year full of curveballs, especially now that Central Cee, Cat Burns, Lil Nas X, Tems, PinkPantheress, Diplo etc etc are out.

That's the likes of Bob Sinclair, Basement Jaxx, Amand Van Helden, Carl Craig, Eats Everything, David Morales, Derrick Carter, Dimitri from Paris and Co. Roger Sanchez too. Saw him last year, was ace.

I'm considering doing it in Ibiza this year.

They put on a great show, one of my favourite dance brands tbh. I reckon Defected will make a return too, below is what I put in my prediction further up the thread.

Do it, it's tremendous. One problem though. Hï is great but it's massively oversold. Every Sunday is crazy busy now.

I don't think Bob Sinclair will be on Defected.

It's massively expensive too. The drinks aren't even doubles lol. I went there for Armin Van Buuren. I was there this year over that part, shocked how bad Bora Bora is now. It's purely just a drug selling area. The Ibiza Marina area and Dalt Villa is lovely but apart from Ushiaua area it's a shit hole. The rooftop bar at Hard Rock Hotel is nice.

The comments on the TikTok are sending me, 'Squinting hard enough I can see Frank Ocean on the lineup' 😂

[stanh]

Looks like the lineup has been pushed to Wednesday now, wonder who/if a headliner has pulled out last minute.

Now deleted TikTok post, seems like The 1975 could now be in for this? Would have to be the Sunday though because they are at Rock For People on the Saturday.

interesting

surely they'd have their headliners booked already though so unless someone dropped out and 1975 were a super convenient replacement at the right time it just doesn't make much sense? or maybe parklife just offered them ££, more than they would have got doing these shows

[gfa]

Skepta doing Groovin The Moo in April/May in australia - thats his first dates i think? could be a very likely pick for parklife

boardmasters too perhaps
