fuck me this is a meme

If they announce Imagine Dragons, David Guetta and Florence only as headliners that's an utter shitshow. That's just not strong enough in 2023, in fact it would've been by far the weakest group of headline acts in years. The fact that they desperately needed someone like Billie Eilish also could mean - in my opinion - that they don't expect that anyone else in that category will be available in August, so they had to go all in for her. Because, let's face it, Billie Eilish is a name similar to Justin Bieber or Dua Lipa, and you need someone in your line up if you want to sell tickets.

Bit underwhelming. Nothing on that list making me want to jump on a plane. 
 

If I don’t have anything else going on in the summer I may go last minute. I can’t see it selling out. 

Yeah, I think I'm gonna spend money on Mediterranean islands instead. Had great time on Sziget before but this is just not my cup of tea.

since a couple guys answered seriously
the issue isn't Billie
it's the fact that they've moved a festival for someone they can't even spell properly

will give this a like because you dont deserve downvotes for just stating an opinion 

 

i also dont get the obsession with Blur, but i also think britpop is the worst kind of genre

haha thanks
I'm not against britpop at all, but if we're looking at for instance the streaming numbers of Blur they're nowhere compared to other headliners. Waaay lower than even Tame Impala last year. I would've no problem to have Blur as a non-headliner act but that's probably impossible for some strange reason.

Mixed feeling about the lineup. 

 

So who do we think are subs? 

It's interesting that they're not being clearly highlighted as subs. It makes booking more flexible. If they can't get significant subs they might make Diplo or Moderat or someone a sub, who knows.

I'm so idiotic with these double posts today, so sorry

A pretty big meh in terms of headliners (apart from Billy, lol), but good undercard so far. I'm hoping for good day splits (Billie Eilish, M83, NBT, Foals and Amyl as close as possible) - I'm certainly not doing the whole festival but would gladly do a couple of days as I live relatively near.

    • Early predictions for Headliners   The Front Bottoms  Bowling For Soup  Ren     
    • Considering how popular of a booking Scooter have been I think they'd go down well
    • I mean I think unless you are camped in a particular bit which apparently you just get no sleep i feel it would be better setup to travel in from a hotel each day and back. Ah there is so many downfalls to it for me, I think the Download main stage area is so much better and that's coming from me. If you're camped in green to go round all the time and out for lidl and even water is stupid!
