Is the LDR day likely to be a standalone or an additional full festival day?

Stantadalone day. Similar to Billie Eilish last year I suppose, a few names will be added but I guess only main stage + a very small additional stage will be accessible. Day is also sold as separated from rest of festival.

[Ohad]

In what seems like the weakest festival year in recent memory, this line up shapes up to be great for me.

I'm considering whether I should buy a 4 or 3 days pass, giving up the maneskin day. How soon do you expect 3days tix to sell out? Maybe based on last year?

[Kaboom Boxer]

I finally pulled the trigger on this just now, booked tickets and flights. This will be our first time and we’re very excited. In the end we just couldn’t resist that line up. Before the names dropped it wasn’t even on our radar. Just goes to show that clever booking pats dividends. LFG!

[Kaboom Boxer]

Just looking at the 2022 poster and see that we’ve got Fred and Soulwax returning next year. How many others from the below poster do you think could return?

When should we expect the next wave of announcements?

Last years announcements went like this:

• First announcement (20 names) - 24th January
• 16 more names - 14th March
• Final announcement (32 names) - 23rd May

As we got the first names early this year it’s tough to say whether the gaps will be the same or if they’ll wait until the usual dates to release more.

I know Clashfjnder isn’t a reliable source for rumours or leaks of unannounced bands but I’ve just been looking on there at timetables from previous years (as we don’t land until 15:15 on the Thursday) and the Clashfinder for this year has the announced bands plus a bunch of unannounced bands in parentheses:

https://clashfinder.com/m/res24/?user=130qtc.v3
 

They have the likes of Idles, Los Bitchos, Locke Carner, Pixies, Fontaines DC and Slowdive. Is this just someone taking wild guesses or is it potentially based on something more?

Pixies will be touring UK during Rock En Seine. Slowdive will be playing La Route Du Rock the week before RES...

I assumed so. I wonder why people do that.

Just looked at Pixies tour dates and they’re technically free on both the Thursday and the Sunday, although it would mean either 3 or 4 nights in a row which is probably unlikely. Besides the clashfinder had them down for Friday when they’re already playing in London.

Fontaines DC are playing festivals throughout June and August around Europe (Germany, Italy, Norway, Portugal) and don’t have anything scheduled beyond the weekend before RES. They’re a definite possibility based on schedules. 

Loyle Carner has no mainland European dates or festivals booked but is active the week before RES at All Points East. Probably nothing more than a maybe.

Los Bitchos only have one current summer show scheduled in Bilbao in July. Unless they suddenly look more active through 2024 you can probably rule them out.

Which other festivals have RES consistently had considerable crossover with in previous years?

I'd say they usually share a decent number of names with All Points East, Pukkelpop and Lowlands and a few names with Electric Picnic, Green Man, Way Out West, Oyafestivalen, Flow Festival, Sziget...

I would love Death Cab, Postal Service, Nation of Language, Nas and Sofia Kourtesis from that APE line up. 
 

From the others ’few names’ I’d take Johnny Marr, Wet Leg, Overmono, Pulp, J Hus, Four Tet, L’Impératrice and Blondshell.

Wet Leg and Overmono both played last year, so would cross them off.

The Lana Del Rey day is already soldout.

Crazy. Billie Eilish or RATM didn't pull that off this fast on their separate days.

Lana easily sold out her Primavera day as well (while the likes of Blur, Kendrick Lamar, Depeche Mode, Rosalia didn't manage to do that last year).

It’s even crazier when you realise she’s so bad live…

Exactly. Really surprised. But the biggest surprise for me here is not the fact LDR sold out so quick but the fact it wasn't officialy soldout for Billie Eilish...

In the last couple of years her shows have been excellent...or so I've been told (didn't see her after 2016).

Do you remember if the arena show by Imagine Dragons in the same day have been announced before or after the announcement of the Billie-day at Rock En Seine? Probably some of the potencial Billie's spectators where at ID show.
In addition I'd say most of the people going to RES 2023 where happy with the weekend and choose not to pay for an expensive extra day separated from the weekend (I did so). I can imagine some more people choosing to do the 5 days in a row this year for Lana.

The biggest surprise is that LDR isn't headlining the biggest stage at Reading over Fred
