Wow that’s bad

They've smashed it with that, didn't think I'd ever be considering going back, but I very much am now - really pleased with that, a lot of names on there I love!

Got to wonder why bicep are in small text - they’ve got to be sub/land of saints headliner no?

I'm assuming Land of Saints headline, especially since it's a Chroma show (which is fantastic btw)

That's weaker than the Tory party. The missing headliner must be huge to balance out Chase and Status (who are great btw, but not a headliner at a 50k festival).

Chase & Status are MASSIVE at the moment, especially with the GCSE lot, don't think they are a weak booking at all imo

All they needed was Stormzy.

Chase and Status is a good booking alongside it, this will sell gangbusters to its targeted audience which me and you are most certainly not 😂

[Properbigfan]

Chase and status were excellent in 2016 and seem to be dominating the hit parade atm!

stormzy will be great too last saw him in 2017 and it was great.

some great acts there me and my mates aged 23-27 all going are thrilled.

 

Stormzy  playing the Sunday makes me feel like there’s a big act on the Saturday for the more mature folk. Blur/pulp?

Where do we think BICEP are playing? LoS headliner or Main Stage sub? Personally going with LoS headline, but hard to tell right now

It’s the chroma show. Will be land of the saints a la Jamie xx 2021. Bicep live would 100% sub main stage if not headline it

Oh yeah I know it's Chroma, but just wasn't sure where it'd be place - Land of Saints defo makes most sense

They've booked the Bowl in Milton Keynes, which caught me by surprise as I didn't know they were that big.

Drumsheds date sold out very very fast too, would say they're quite possibly at a re-peak of their career atm

They are 100% bigger than some of the recent boardmasters headliners - especially with the crowd.

Far bigger than say Jorja Smith in 2021

They really have done away with the indie / rock it seems this year

Just going back to this, Milton Keynes date is sold out already... That's like 60/65k tickets shifted.

Well clearly they're a more popular deal than I realised.

Yep, vvv big atm. Allegedly this MK show is the biggest headline show of their career so far.

They’re obviously very popular - baddadan is one of those songs I just can’t seem to escape at the moment it’s everywhere

however I still think they must have been pretty cheap - cheaper than all 3 of last years headliners - so I agree that our missing one will (hopefully) be big and we get a strong undercard too

Reckon they cost more than Lorde tbh. But yeah, do think the final headliner will be a bigger name.

Would be surprised if lorde was more expensive to be honest
