Johnnyseven Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 If the Magical Sounds replacement is a little titchy tent like that one was then Orbital won't be playing in there, it would need to be something Meadow sized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I see Orbital screaming Meadow actually. I don't think the mass appeal is there to headline pallet and any earlier than a headline won't work. They are great but it's all about the lights.

TheFullShaboo Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Orbital are down as a main stage headliner on their website Dance and electronic music holds a huge and vital role in alternative communities, and we’re embracing that through the galvanising appearance from main stage headliners, Orbital, as well as with our dedicated dance stage. Also lists 6 acts as headliners (so assuming these are split between the two main stages?) HEADLINE PERFORMANCES FROM: JANE’S ADDICTION (UK FESTIVAL EXCLUSIVE), AMYL AND THE SNIFFERS, FUTURE ISLANDS, SLEAFORD MODS, ORBITAL AND DINOSAUR JR. (UK EXCLUSIVE SHOW)! So does that mean we've got no more 'headliners' left to be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they like to play outdoor rather than indoor, but i'd expect them to be further up the poster if they were headlining the Pallet. They'd bring a bigger crowd than Interpol did this year if they did, that crowd was embarrassing.

Don't remember it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmyShambles Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Last year's line up was brilliant for me personally, loads of acts I wanted to see, so I am feeling a bit underwhelmed this time around. That said I am still thoroughly looking forward to the festival and excited to see who else will be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's a solid, rather than stellar lineup but there's more than enough there for me, and a fair bit to come, bet there will still be unpleasant clash decisions to be made!

It's horses for courses, last year for me was a bit meh but this year there's loads of my all time favourites on there. Jane's Addiction, Dinosaur Jr, Orbital, The Orb, 808 State and System 7 and it's not even the full line up yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a good few on there who I am looking forward to seeing and hopefully a few more to come. Last year was more or less perfect for me so it was always unlikely to beat that!

Boomtowner Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Completely underwhelmed, although last years line up was the weakest one (for my tastes) of the seven I've attended and I had the best time. Saying that, there are only 4 that are of interest on the poster and I've seen all of those many times. My explorations this afternoon also drew a big fat blank.

Charlie Rabbit Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Bearded Theory newbie question … if not camping is it possible to park & Leave & park again the next day? And if so, would one parking ticket work for the whole weekend or would I need to pay every day? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I stayed at a hotel about 10 miles from the site and drove in each day with no issues. It's about a 15 min walk from the furthest away parking to the festival arena. Parking price is covered for the whole weekend with the pass/sticker in the window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucko Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 I see beans is back so he could be curating a day at the woodlands again, he seems to get on well with the new owners. I really enjoyed the Saturday afternoon in the woodlands this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got chatting to Jay's mum (long story) and she says she will meet me for a drink in woodland again next year so think he maybe on there for sure? Can't see him working on any other stage really either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
