Skrillex is about in summer isn't he, maybe field day co-head. Some sort of Fred Again/ Four Tet/ Skrillex day would sell well i think. 

Only thing i'd say is they all aim towards the same audience - I think going for a bit more variety could be better

Does that matter as a co-headline though? Where another option is one act alone who has their one audience, if you get me.

They'd be taking up the 3 biggest slots for the same audience, co-headline or not - vs the big 3 this year going for at least young/old

What are the rumours currently?

Other than Stormzy have we had anything else?

LCD Soundsystem/YYYs are apparently doing a Dublin show in August.

Given they're doing EU festival but not announced for a whole load of UK stuff this summer I'd be inclined to think The 1975 might be doing one as well.

Aside from that nothing much else obvious.

An LCD/YYY’s night would be a must for me. Still annoyed that I missed the last one.

Possibilities seem to be along the lines of 

LCD / Florence / Little Simz / Underworld / Four Tet / Lizzo / Liam Gallagher. 

Gallagher is a boardmasters exclusive

Not sure Underworld are big enough and simz definitely isn't

What are our chances of seeing a pre-Christmas announcement here? I had expected one, but it's cutting it pretty close, especially with all the other gig/festival announcements in the last fortnight which probably sweep up a lot of the Christmas stocking filler marker. 

Has anyone heard any rumours about announcements dates or anything?

Probably not at this point - seems few european ones are yet to announce like Firenze next week but most will be after xmas now

Connect have nothing either who they are likely to overlap a lot with

I hope so given the Leeds festival line up is so poor, opens up the bank holiday weekend to many people who might have attended R&L that weekend.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
