Boardmasters 2024

[Will b]

Now that’s all over - who are some names we could see in 2024

would be cool to see the 1975 do it after 2020s cancellation. could also see hozier, the chemical brothers, the killers, or dua lipa headline since they all have albums coming out soon (although I’m aware the last 2 maybe still too big for boardies)

Bicep, Sam Fender, Muse

Think Dua will just do Glastonbury.

Not sure really who to suggest yet, will have a think about it today.

Dua Lipa is far too big - Killers would be their biggest ever headliner too but they did do Latitude a few years back so it is possible

I think as a trio this is probably the absolute upper limit of what they could get. Two very solid Reading MSE headliners there

[RaphPH]

The Strokes, Chemical Brothers, The 1975

[jj200]

The 1975 

Two door cinema club

The killers

[Properbigfan]

Lewis capaldi 

the prodigy

wu-tang clan (special guest giggs playing before them)

This would be a fair bit smaller than recent years imo

Could see one of these acts with 2x others. Giggs played 2018 and 21 don’t think he’ll be back again so soon

3pm bit early to be drinking that heavily mate

[Properbigfan]

Who do we think.

 

I think  an announcement could be due to arrive soon.

I hope it’s not a dance headliner like Fred again because I find dance acts as a headliner a little underwhelming like disclosure in 2022 but I did enjoy chase and status and deadmau5 in 2016. I wpild prefer someone like marina or Katy Perry . I would also like some sort of hip hop or rnb headlinwr like 50 cent or wu tang or skepta but not going a dj set instead rapping like he used to. I am very excited

Wouldn't rule Fred Again.. out at this point, think most large festivals will be doing anything they can to get him.

I reckon something like:

Kasabian or Hozier

Fred Again.. or Chase & Status (Live)

and then a curveball of some form. Seems too soon to bring Jorja Smith back, then also, some of their bookings recently have been huge gets for them; quite a hard one to predict, but very interested to see who they manage to get for next year.

i agree: something like kasabian - Fred again - muse or something similar wouldn’t surprise me at all

If Fred doesn't end up at R&L then i'd bet on him doing Creamfields, APE day and Boardmasters.

Reckon hes near guaranteed for TRNSMT

this would be quite weak vs recent years

[NorthernSoul52]

Hozier feels like he could with the big London show.

Will lean towards The Prodigy too, given they've got IOW.

Not sure Hozier is very in demand for 50,000 ketty teenagers mate

Given I have never been ketty, nor a teenager, maybe so.

Stormzy / kasabian / post malone or anne Marie with a really solid sub

I would say Anne Marie is sub size - although I thought that about jorja smith too so you never know
