airwaves Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Just now, CaledonianGonzo said: Nah. Why would SZA getting the call affect so many other things? If any one of the 4 acts I mentioned had been on the poster I reckon the reactions would have been much more "Wooo.. They got...??" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbailey80 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I'm always baffled with the random small wacky artists they put on the Pyramid Fri and Sat early. Sevenf**kingteen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Interesting that they've basically given us the lineup for people at home watching on TV. No Acoustic, Dance Village, Avalon etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sevenf**kingteen Massive in the teeny bopper demo. Will get a bigger crowd than SZA or anyone on the second line.

thewomble Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I'm not blown away but I don't hate it. Was always going to look weak compared to last year for me anyway! Plenty lower down acts I'd wanna see other than pyramid headliners, plus takes the pressure off having too many 'must see' acts and not being able to enjoy the rest of the festival properly. Saying that - I still don't have a ticket anyway 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 7 minutes ago, nikkic said: You’d say SZA was headlining Other and IDLES Woodsies, but both got bumped when Madge/Stevie didn’t happen. Would make sense. Yep, up until 3 weeks ago SZA was heavily rumoured for Other, and there's no way Idles were first choice for Other headliner. I like them but that will be a tiny crowd. Jamie xx will probably pull a much bigger crowd at the same time on Woodsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatingglitter Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 There’s things on there I’m super happy with. Avril is a big one and lots on my “I wanna see them this year” but it feels very thin. I know it’s not about the lineup but some of those headliners feel a bit bumped up. Like, aren’t idles like subbing the second stage at Victorious? There feels like there has been scrabbling. I know it’ll be amazing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameismatt Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Actually quite like the line up (Woodsies, Park, WH especially seem as strong as youd get this year) probably just missing the kind of special bookings you expect. as well as pulp, gutted Jai Paul isn't on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Anyway, not many "wow" names, but loads of quality and acts I'd see throughout the lineup. Solid, if not spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Other Steve Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Not blown away but plenty on there plus my favourite band ever closing the festival on the Sunday. Plenty for me though, loads more to be announced and the bands I didn't know existed yet which I'll uncover over next couple of months. Bring it on.

I get and agree, diversify it, go as 50/50 as you can, but at the expense to the overall picture of the lineup itself? You can't do it, and make it look strong, if the acts aren't there to do that.

Can't figure out the size of her appeal here at all. She's playing the roundhouse (Capacity what 1800?) in May over here for 40 quid a ticket, but the US dates are the enormo-domes and 180 dollars. Last time she played was amazing, perfect Sunday afternoon on the Other. A hug from @CaledonianGonzo, a rendition of 'Golden Hour' and I was all over the f**king shop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Roundhouse dates sold out in a heartbeat but yeah you can still get tickets for Wolverhampton which is pretty damning. The new album sounds like it’s correcting everything that fell a bit flat on star-crossed - would’ve made for a dream Park headliner. But alas.
