The 6-8 names on Friday 4pm tradition died quite a few years ago, no?  

 

Unfortunately yes. That was a much better and more engaging way of doing it....

Nah. I'm happy with them spilling the beans (and the full poster) in 2-3 namedrops after the new year. 

 

I expect a 20-25-ish names next week. Then a handful of Belgians the week after, finishing with a big drop (or two) of smaller ones the week(s) after. Just a hunch.

Pinkpop new names next Thursday so personally I’d expect RW by next Weds at the latest (normally comes before Pinkpops next set)

Should be tomorrow based on the last two years

Based on the last 2 years it should have been 15th or 22nd I believe.  More than happy to take tomoz though!

Personally don't think Spotify is really a great indication on festival lineups. 

Wasn't this literally the heart of the argument to why SZA ended up not being the right fit to do Glastonbury as a Pyramid stage bill topper?

No idea about that one. Don't follow Glastonbury stuff, last time I was there was 2008.

This has got to be the first time in the 12 years Werchter has been on my radar that the Saturday is the last day to sell out

Probably close to that for me too, it just tells you the level of headliner they have booked for the day. You would have expect Thursday and Friday to fly our before anything.

Yeah I think Sat and Sun are normally the ones to go first.   I’m sure with some additions it will do anyway.  They need to add some more good acts to sell The combi tickets anyway.  
 

Roll on next week!!

My wishlist for next week:

- A Perfect Circle 

- NIN

- Thom Yorke

- Steven Wilson

- UNKLE

 

Probably none of them will be there and I don’t even dare mention names like QOTSA or Massive Attack but one can dream.

Keeping my fingers crossed but not hopeful

Maybe not realistic, but I'd take;

 

Manchester Orchestra

Biffy Clyro 

The Glorious Sons

Kaizers Orchestra

Placebo

Have had a morning in the gym listening to Sam Fender and suddenly I’m of the opinion it’s going to be a great night.  

Tbf, they all will due to being away with mates and listening to music.  Roll on 165 days!

Looks like it‘s made up.

If it was a case of all the music being good whatever the case as we're with people then they could just book anyone for the dose scenario 🙄

I’m sure another forum (maybe Glasto?) confirmed the German, Austrian and Dutch dates leaked the other day and I think it matches that. Could of course be someone just filling in their own blanks of course with the rest though

Fair skill to look at a bunch of dates and see they're made up without an explanation.

They are definitely playing Berlin, not Munich and Cologne. Someone took the leaked dates for Manchester, London, Vienna and Amsterdam and added some ideas. Enough explanation?

You’d hope there’d be an act of that size or NIN to support the Sam Fender day.  Whether it happens….. 

 

Honestly very excited now for those stage splits this week (well hopefully).  Will finally have a much better idea of who clashes etc…
