They didn't headline (or even co-headline) in 2018, so I bet they wont this year either, having in mind that the festival has become more youth-oriented since then.

But who knows... the available options are very limited. There were also some rumours about Drake summer tour in Europe, but it was back in December and no updates since then.

Yeah, you're right about MA.

 

Drake would be extremely expensive and we have to bear in mind Open'er already got 4 big names for the other days and Sam Smith, 21 Savage and Skrillex surely weren't cheap either.

 

I don't know if such a move would shift enough tickets, flights and hotels are expensive already.

 

ANYWAY, they can't wait long, can they?

Yeah, that's true. I am just desperately looking for other options 😄 I think they will go with some smaller name (like Future) and make Skrillex a co-headliner.

Let's hope it's a matter of days, not weeks...

Yeah you can say what you want, but that third day is actually quite strong. The combination of Doja Cat, Sam Smith, 21 Savage and Ice Spice is actually stacked for that kind of audience. Some good 'indie' that day too, with Air, Sampha, Slowdive and Modeselektor.

Closing Main Stage on Thursday:

+ Artemas, Alec Benjamin & Gloria Groove for Alter Stage.

A weird set of announcements, I must say.

Disclosure made my gf very happy, even though we're probably going to see them at BKS.

Hopefully they will add one more Main Stage name today... today's batch is very weak, especially that they were silent for more than 2 months

You have your Main Stage name: Tyla!

 

Also d4vd added to the Alter Stage.

Tyla is a nice addition! But that's all for today. Still no headliner for Saturday, also still 2-3 empty spots for Main Stage and Tent Stage...

Very happy with Disclosure! The lineup is pretty stacked.

With today announcement we're left with (in terms of international acts) 1 headliners, 2 main stage acts, 2-3 acts on other stages.

I looked at other festivals around these dates and here are some acts I've seen:

• Still available headliners options: Fred again, Future, Playboi Carti, LCD Soundsystem (plus they can always throw a curveball like Tyler or Lana)
• Main stage artists (some maybe can even be co-headliners): Sabrina Carpenter, Bring Me The Horizon, Camila Cabello, Massive Attack, Kraftwerk, Kali Uchis, James Blake
• More available acts (mainly listing acts I'd rather see added to the lineup): SOFT PLAY, Todd Terje, Jon Batiste, Yussef Dayes, Barry Can't Swim, Laufey, Don Toliver, Jamie xx, Turnstile, Viagra Boys, Royel Otis, André 3000, Oliver Tree

Honestly if I had to guess I think Fred is our last headliner with a toss between Future/Carti and Sabrina/Camila/Kali rounding out the main stage. As for the remaining tent acts I'd love SOFT PLAY, Todd Terje or Jamie xx. Since I willed Disclosure into existence I'm hoping one of them will also be added. 😂

Nice list! But:

BMTH and Playboi Carti are at some other Polish festivals this year, so they are defienietly out. Royel Otis were just announced for a October gig in Poland which doesn't cross them out but make them less possible.

LCD Soundsystem are not available on Saturday (day with no headliner).

Also, James Blake is quite busy during our weekend, with only Saturday available.

Don Toliver played in 2022, so I guess it's too soon for him to come back.

Fred Again doesn't have any dates for July, so even though he's my dream headliner, I am afraid it won't be him 😞

I think the most possible acts from your list are Future, Kali Uchis, Camilla Cabello, and Barry Can't Swim. From the acts that are around Open'er, I'd also add RAYE, MO, Zara Larsson, Arlo Parks, Stormzy, J Hus, PJ Harvey, Aurora.
