I'd be quick and discard the whole announcement as a PR nightmare, but damn those undercards are wild.

Foals, Jamie XX, M83, Moderat, Sven Vath, Viagra Boys, Dixon, The Comet is Coming, 070 Shake,  Frank Carter, Kelly Lee Owens and Partiboi69 are all Primavera Sound level of names and would buy me a ticket instantly

IF

I wasn't still coughing sand and having nightmare for the soundsystem in the A38 that completely butchered any band that was not a solo girl singing on electro pre-recorded beat

Yeah, I did go see every headliner last year,  but this year so far only Florence. I've seen Billie two times at Glasto, both left me disappointed. Undercard is really strong for my taste so luckily there seems to be plenty of alternatives. 

And can't believe they changed a day for her BUT still fucked up her name in the announcement? lol.

Blur would cost double or triple Tame Impala and would have his same reach this last year. Demographic shift is wild 

Sure, but I just want to complain about the direction this festival takes, at least in terms of headliners 🙃

It's not a matter of headliners to me (last year was great TBH), it's just that they're getting more and more " young" acts :

I'm always expecting some 'older stuff' (for example, Jimmy eat world, Keane, Marina, Biffy Clyro, The Script, Papa Roach, Katy Perry, Weezer, or even The Proclaimers, Madness, etc...), and it seems they don't care anymore about that, like the young acts are cheaper so 'let's do it and Fuck the 30 years old and more' 😕 I mean, come on, Mimi Webb, Niall Horan, Yungblud, and I'm sure many of the names I never heard of on this line up are for the 'under 30 y.o' .. Which wasn't the case if you go back in 2014 for example, or even before that , we had much more CONFIRMED acts compared to today.. and also less "DJ's" lol ..

Still possible for them to be one of the remaining headliners then?

The question is why they weren’t announced today? They might play all 3 nordic festivals (Oya, WOW and Flow) and it won’t be possible for them to come to Sziget.

I guess they'll have to justify future ticket price increases somehow.

I really hope we'll got at least 1 more great big act like Blur or RHCP.

    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
    • I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB    A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands    It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same    Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
    • Trent said he’s working on new Nine Inch Nails musicnand that Coachella was the farewell show for Nine Inch Noize.   Would be over the moon to have any of the options at Prima 2027, though
