sheffinghell Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 That lineup is all over the place! They might be needing a lot of day ticket sales this year. For me, Friday good, Saturday dire, Sunday OK. Hope they've got a few rabbits for the second announcement. I'll be going because it's local, but might otherwise have been in 2 minds about a full weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffinghell Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 Two things spring to mind. Money issues for Superstruct - losses/costs from last year's weather situation. See also cancelling Bluedot for this year. A lot of artists going down the single day / headline route and thereby reducing the talent pool for mid size festivals.

I don't, but there's just about enough there for me to justify the early bird ticket price, and there'll be plenty of people I know, plus lesser incidental cost for travel and food etc. I'm more likely to ditch YNot, as I really don't need to see Jamie T twice, although their undercard can be a lot stronger.

sheffinghell Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 Just checked last year's first announcement. This year's has a notable absence of comedy. Hope that doesn't mean it's off. I need something to pass the time on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday nothing until The Snuts which is crazy and a mixed bag Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James360 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Hopefully a bit more filler to make up for the not so great headliners and subs. Hoping for stage splits so can work out if any of my Sunday will clash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys 12th Pint Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Desperately in need of some additional acts on the Saturday which is very week. If not can see the Public Houses of Hillsborough Park having a very busy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticket sales seem to be reflecting the general feelings re the lineup. I think they've massively mis-judged it, and/or their audience for Saturday. Hoping for some decent comedy at least.

Jamie T, Tom Grennan and The Snuts decent but the rest of the line up for a Saturday - wow !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got tickets as we are local and have always gone, but yeah, outside of these 3 the Saturday is probably one of the worst (if not the worst) that they've ever had. Going to need something pretty good to pull it back IMO. Friday line-up blinds the Saturday for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually fill all 3 days with bands but Saturday looks a struggle. Saying that might give me the option for a wander round for a change rather than rushing between acts.

Yeah that's actually a good point. We usually have the Saturday as our 'child-free' day but our 7-year-old daughter is coming with us this year as she's a massive Tom Grennan fan so it'll be a little different for us this year regardless.

prefab Posted February 29 Report Share Posted February 29 Massively underwhelming set of new additions. The only one I'm really excited about is Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer, to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
