They must have the yeah yeah yeah's right looking at their dates?? Do we think the three names we have now are the main headliners?

That would be outstanding, but are we expecting another headlining-size act for CM?

A day with LCD + Florence/AF/Strokes would be absolutely huge.

Last year they had a day with Nick Cave, Chems and Kraftwerk though.

Last year at BBK they shared with Placebo and Moderat so ye never know... I'm expecting at least 2 more big names. I'd say the fees for AF could have came down a few notches after last years controversies also.

Sziget and Rock in Seine revealed names today for their line up. Still not a word here. Seems today is not the day (once again).

It's been more than two weeks since they posted that "news was coming soon".

I’m just hoping the delay is not related to Arcade Fire eventually pulling out... ?

They’re still not announced elsewhere than Cala Mijas and Kalorama. I’ve seen a few rumoured dates in Italy on the subreddit, but no announcement since then.

I doubt it. Unless their hand has been forced, I'm sure they want to play and for people to see it as normal that they are doing shows so that they can put the allegations behind them.

That would make sense with Italy, they have a festival called Home Festival (On around the same time as CM and K) so they're probably rumoured for that.

It's more than a rumour in Italy. They were previously listed specifically as playing 25 August on this link.

(Impressive) Rock En Seine bill a couple of days before...

I'm happy to take all of that basically.

A few more days seems to be turning into a week for this announcement. I think you could be right here but really hope not.

Electric Picnic announcement put back now till April, perhaps that will be the same for this and Kalorama.

It’s also already sold out so presumably little incentive to rush out the announcement.

[Florence2010]

There’s no chance the festival won’t go ahead, is there? 🥴

I messaged the instagram account and they replied 'we will announce it very soon'. read into that what you will!

[xxialac]

No way are we waiting until April, maybe they can’t announce 100% of the names they want to but that doesn’t stop them from announcing some names.

Would bet the house on some names by next week with this week still more likely.

More than 4 months have passed without so much as a single new name.

Going to end up needing to announce the 2024 lineup at the same time at this rate.

It’s getting a bit boring isn’t it! I just want to know if the yeah yeah yeahs are going to be there at this point!

[Sarahw2]

A few more days is what they said last week. Something is definitely causing a delay but WHAT! Hope its not to do with Arcade Fire

[Florence2010]

So Jungle today have just been announced as Headliners for All Points East and it's labelled a 'UK' exclusive performance. I've just been on their website and can't see any other festivals listed yet outside of the UK. Perhaps THIS is what we have been waiting before and they'll be announced at Cala Mijas shortly? Just a thought!

Well exactly..... but maybe for the electronic stage? I'm not bothered about them but if it means an announcement is coming then I'm fine haha!

I could definitely see them playing but I would have announced a set of names a while back and then could add Jungle in a third wave of names.  They had three waves of names last year after all.
