It's on their Facebook. Presumably other social media as well.

[wonker]

Looks like fun!

[incident]

There's a much more extensive set of names on their website - https://www.wildernessfestival.com/lineup/

Faithless (live) seems a bit of an odd headliner choice though - is anyone really interested without Maxi?

Thanks, I got the slew of updates from Instagram/email/wilderness app about 10 minutes after the Facebook update

Oh... that's a lot weaker than I was expecting without Jungle in there

[gfa]

Very solid - a bit younger leaning than recent years i think

Looks great - does anyone know how they’re doing Faithless live without Maxi?
 

Usually they’re listed as a DJ set these days.

It's Sister Bliss plus hired hands so is more than a DJ set, but yeah.. can't see how it works without Maxi.

To say I'm cynical about it would be an understatement.

If a commercial festival in july hasnt announced by now having not sold out in advance then surely its cancelled?

July is still a long way away. dunno how good wilderness are at it, but it makes a big difference at how hard a promoter works at shifting the tickets.

How do we think 4 headliners are going to fit into 3 evenings?

Would be a departure to previous years having the main stage open on Thursday though?

[Nick-bristol]

Anyone else disappointed that Bicep are going to be on the Sunday evening. They're definitely an artist for Friday or Saturday night.

No idea yet but very excited for it! Some very exciting names on here. I remember a tent years ago very similar that disappeared. Great to see something similar coming back. It reminds me of San Remo at Glasto

Anyone want to share their costume ideas for the fancy dress themes.

I'm midst a last minute panic.

We are going for a spacey silver/gold outfit for celestial bodies
