It’s just really… dry.

 

Love green day… Sleep Token are amazing… do like Korn… as a sub. 
I like Weezer.

 

it just doesn’t look exciting to me at all. 

[Andre91]

Not blown away by the lineup but there’s plenty there I want to see. Anaal Nathrakh is crazy 😂

Early thoughts are that it'll sell badly as a weekend festival. McFly is a horrible booking and they've still kept CKY booked after they got booted off the AAF tour for violence. But they did book a racist so.

Jesus Christ they’re not going to drop a band because he’s had a punch up with someone else in another band. 

[andyrhodes24]

Do The Darkness and Steel Panther actually go down well on the day? Genuine question.

[Rusty Spoon]

McFly will absolutely pack a tent. Possibly not to Busted levels but not far off.

 

Overall though, I'll be heading elsewhere next summer I reckon.

They are to appease the double denims

McFly are an excellent booking 

 

Behave. They're a pop band that didn't even deserve the same special slot respect Busted got at Slam Dunk. They're a V Festival booking had it survived. It'll be Jonas Brothers next haha.

I don't think the lineup is the worst but given the quality of it generally they don't have anyone else to replace them haha.

Kin hell, Jerry Cantrell is a bit low on that poster

a band with 1 top 200 single in their history and another without a hit single in 20 years and permanent sub are now 67% of the headliners of the biggest rock festival. the days of reading, download and sonisphere competing are so dead. darkest day in the festival history RIP 

Have a cup of tea, put on some Enya and take a nap. It ain't worth the stress, ya mad lad.

Reminds of when R&L booked Clutch and EODM in 2016 to give the chaperone dads something to do.

[rubyroo127]

Green Day, Weezer, The Darkness and Steel Panther doing a lot of the heavy lifting for me tbh

[northernangel]

I've got 10 acts on there. Decided the worst band is actually Turbonergo.

Steel Panther is right there though

[devilman]

£600 saved then. I had thought I'd get fomo tonight but I'm feeling quite smug. Don't get me wrong, I'd enjoy plenty on that line up but not at that price and with VFM already through the floor in the last couple of years I can't see me being back for a few years now, if ever.

[foolee]

That’s actually banging for me. Few missing from the top line I was expecting. Thought we’d get FIR and MIW but think they’ll be added later. Looks like we’re missing at least 1 sub. Shame about no Turnstile, must be at Outbreak as expected. 

[SunnyDskyZ]

Big shoutouts to Northernangel/Judasyeast/Gejonimo/Redjosh/Andre91/BrutalLegend/Spiral Low and any1 I missed. Thanks for your guidance. All is well. Rock On

[49Lawson]

Do we think there’s an obvious sub missing? Seems odd the way they’ve laid out the poster with Weezer and Bullet getting the top billing over the other logo bands if another one of them is subbing no?

Yeh the poster layout looks out under the headliners.

Falling In Reverse I would fully expect to be there.

Falling In Reverse still have some tickets to sell for their O2 show next month. I think they will sub Sleep Token.

[Gejonimo]

Mcfly currently have more likes on their post on Twitter than Korn do 

 

Korn have around 4 times as many followers. 

 

Mcfly might not be a good booking for some of you, but I guarantee they'll go down a storm.

How is £600 being spent. I'm probably going to go the weekend but it won't be a full price ticket.

I think there is some missing. It kinda seems obvious that FIR are awaiting tickets to be sold. I'd also expect MM once his Feb tour is sold.

I'll take it but I don't think I'm any good for guidance really here.

Someone over the other side thinks Bad Omens are taking that spot with FIR on second and Dream Theatre second headline Korn day. But that's a pinch of salt thing.

Would all be good bookings. 
 

I only think we’ve got one Second Stage headliner in the Sex Pistols. I think Within Temptation, The Darkness and Steel Panther are subs for that stage. 
 

Also think we’ve only got McFly as an Avalanche headliner with two more to come. 
 

Cradle of Filth and SikTh as Dogtooth headliners with one more to come is my thinking too.
