Ah interesting, what other fests does superstruct run then? 

I also wonder if her booking this year was purely because they had to book her again after the 2019 cancellation? So her contract might be different than usual for a headliner. 

Seems unlikely, if they HAD to book her again then it would have been this year surely, she did European fests this summer.

I really doubt thats a thing to be honest, especially 4 years on.

They own

Victorious, Boardmasters, Tramlines, Truck, South West 4, Kendell Calling, Bluedot in UK

Outside the UK they own

Wacken, Sziget, Sonar, Hideout, Flow, Oya, Elrow, Parookaville, Mysteryland, Thunderdome, Awakenings, Milkshake, Defcon1, DGTL, STRAF_WERK, Pleinvrees, Amsterdam Open Air, The Gardens of Babylon

They probably own a ton more too, they've been buying up festivals non stop past few years

For the past few years, Boardmasters has been produced by Vision Nine but owned by Superstruct. Although it's all becoming a bit more assimilated as Superstruct took a majority stake in Vision Nine (and therefore also NASS) earlier this year.

I might be wrong but I think in the years where it was in May/June, there were some headliners announced in February. So a headliner being announced in February for an August festival doesn't seem that late at all

Last year all the headliners were announced in November, for August shows.

All of last years shows were announced on 21st Nov. If we don’t see something tomorrow with 3 weeks lead time to Christmas, I doubt we will see anything before the end of Jan / start of February.

I mean the final show of that tour to APE's new August dates is a six month window... I've seen big summer shows go on sale with a smaller window than that. Or at least waiting until after that rescheduled London O2 date.

But we'll see. Maybe they'll wait, maybe they won't.

Lana Del Ray album coming. Could she be a U.K. exclusive? Seem to recall that was the chat for 2020.

Someone like Florence might be a shout as well. Just sold out two nights at the O2 pretty easily and doesn't have any UK festivals announced yet.

First names for Electric Picnic

Fred Again headlining sat alongside Capaldi - could he headline Field Day?

Jamie XX and others playing too

Been saying that for a while, pretty sure Field Day will be Fred Again and someone else. Jamie XX / Aphex Twin / Goldie or Four Tet would be the best guesses with other shows around the time. (Aphex is a shot in the dark to be fair).

Four Tet is doing 30k at ally pally with that light thing in May - feel like hes not impossible but a bit of a weird pick for APE given the circumstances. Jamie XX solo headlined it recently

They seem to like doing a mix of young / old e.g. how it was like Peggy Gou and Folamour as big names - but then closed with Chems and Kraftwerk. Fred and Aphex would work for that.

Totally agree with you. Only thing I’d say is that the capacity has grown by 15K since Jamie XX headlined last, although it did sell well.

My hope is still Fred Again / Aphex Twin but I think it’s optimistic

Again? I heard that they increased it from 40k to 50k last year (and it felt like it). I can't imagine 65k in that arena

[DarthSaul]

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.

Jamie XX was the year before the increase. And you’re right it was 10k not 15k.
