there's almost no festival announcements nowadays  makes me think "that's a good booking"as they're mostly from the same narrow pool of bands.

That's true but sometimes Bluedot gets an exclusive or whatever. Like Bjork last year and Kraftwerk in 2019

especially this year, looking weak across the board

Line up announced 7am Monday 

'The time is now'..... hinting at Roisin Murphy? (fb)

Someone elsewhere on the internet is saying Pavement are playing this but I'm unsure.

Aren't they playing Iceland like the week after / before this. Would make sense for them to swing by to play this but would have expected them at EOTR or GM.

There’s a post that’s been deleted that says Pavement and Grace Jones are playing…

 

[Memory Man]

Grace would be amazing, as would roisin! Fingers crossed!

Leftfield as well by the looks of it

Where've you seen this?

[Tjdj]

Earlier on I put Bluedot 2023, Pavement &Grace Jones into Google. A website preview listed them as playing along with Leftfield. When you click on the link it says the page has been removed. Could be totally wrong of course, just seems to fit in with the rumours going around

Used an archive site to view the article but there's not much in it. Just Pavement, Grace Jones, Roisin Murphy and Leftfield. Shame they didn't upload the poster too...

Hmmm not too sure I’m feeling the line up, this time around. I’ve been to everyone so far but might swap it for End of the Road, this year

End of the road is, overall, a better festival - having been to both.

bluedot has larger singular artist names but feels a bit like “a gig in a field” rather than a cohesive whole festival like EoTR does

however bluedot is cheaper and a lot less far to travel if youre northern

Depends how arsed you are but you can take your own drinks around freely at EoTR too. You can sneak them in at bluedot but not having that hassle is such a bonus

It's alright. Nothing more. Needs more dance acts for me. 

[Memory Man]

I think there’s a bit more strength in depth for me with less having been spent on securing mega headliners they’ve been able to secure a better overall quality of lineup

i suspect theres some more decent comedy names and dj’s to come

Nish and darkroom a big plus for me

Nothing much there for me, only Max Richter in my "want to see, never have" list...

...meh.

[emmanuel]

Quite impressed. Might be the one for this year.
