Have muse fallen of the cliff for the majority of festival organisers, there tour this summer seems a strange one. 

No, the Hellfest organizer said they came to play some Foo Fighters slots at festivals very late in the game (after Dave Grohl's baby news and them dropping out) and then, I assume, scheduled some shows around those to make it financially viable.

 

I think they did this thing back in 2018 as well when they played like five festivals in total and that's it

Lets not pretend Raye and Noah Kahan will firstly have huge crowds, and secondly, be extremely good.

 

Raye has the potential to be extremely good.

She will definitely be in the conversation from the booking team to try and get and the festival does have pulling power for multiple big players.

Has she tried to copy one of Dua Lipas songs with the tune a bit in secrets?

Full line-up poster

As yet still only 6 main stage on Saturday. Longer sets or something?

Must be two longer sets for the co-headliners, but they could have afforded an additional act...

Still doesn’t solve the issue that Main and Slope can’t be on at the same time.  Guess they could just start the main later but I still expect a small opener to be added to the main stage once the times come out

Yup, ah well. They added one band on June 4th last year in Yard Act but they also previous had a band pull out later as well so it was a replacement. 

 

Onto 2026 talk chat now lol.

Pvris and the scratch expected to clash based on the poster?

Ah well sorry Pvris

The Scratch are one of my discoveries too, brilliant aren’t they.

 

The slope and main don’t clash, but one pretty much starts as the other finishes etc…

Wouldn't be the first time she played

I forgot about this way back when. What a lineup that was in 2009. The Mars Volta and Milk Inc. Few years around those times absolutely peak.

 

Given Dua Lipa and Olivia now, of there is any time they would choose one another of the biggest ticket selling female acts worldwide, it's now.

I wouldn't go as far as predicting her yet but Gaga and The Cure would be a brilliant start. I do however predict The Cure.

Be really handy to see the Saturday times so I can plan fully.  Hopefully before the Easter break anyway

[Floyd_Ams]

Saturday will be an easy one for me as I'm gonna set camp in the Barn for most of the day. I'd like to catch Wisp in the slope though...

Times are out and on the app.

There’s definitely a gap on Saturday on the main stage, isn’t there?

Ignore me. There was a gap when I first looked. It’s now ‘Hello Tempest Road’, which I can’t say I’m familiar with.

Hang on a minute. Does this band actually exist?

Is it a band or a riddle ?

It's an anagram for Thomas Peter Odell (Tom Odell)
