Yeah they sent an email yesterday saying resales are live but on the Ticketmaster website it just says no tickets available 

I guess u will just have to wait for someone to try sell. As someone with buying and selling R1 resale on Ticketmaster, they are hard to come across and sell QUICK. For context, mine for 2022 sold before I even had the email to confirm they went up 😂

I have Saturday and I didn’t want to do Sunday but now they’ve added Haim I would like to see them.

 

im sure Haim will be touring though after their new album release so I’m not worrying too much about it

[nathanh]

Was that all? Or will he go back for more?

I assume they will do the last name for Sunday, but they always like to drag it out

Never seen them do an interview mid announcement before 😂

No idea because he didn’t say that’s it for announcements .

 

Although Sunday already had an extra name for Haim so unless Sugababes and Natasha was just balancing that out?

[FestivalJamie]

Don’t think there’s any more coming

Worked out based on last year, Friday was owed 1 act, Saturday 2 Main Stage, 3 New Music, Sunday 1 Main Stage, 3 New Music

Last year I think they had 7 on main stage every day so I think we might need one more name per day

Natasha Beddingfield playing a new "Radio 1 Anthems" slot on Friday. Unsure if we are getting one of those each day.

This is great for me and not a big shock considering she came out for Ella Henderson. Saturday and Sunday are awful with Saturday being really bad to be honest. How are Wolf Alice headlining Big Weekend.

Yeah now the other 2 have 1 more, Saturday and Sunday both are owed 1 more main stage name and 3 new music names

They also had less dj anthem sets some of the days. I think if anything, only Friday has one remaining as the other days apparently have 6 now.

I thought i was missing someone, he's not listed on the lineup page currently for Saturday. I mean it was easy to forget he was topping it.

Ahhh might be because they are updating it to add Sugababes on

To be honest they didn't remove Mumford because they were adding HAIM. Imagine Fender has pulled out but he was able to sell tickets lol.

I’m assuming it’s just an accident but that would be a disaster 😅

[nathanh]

God imagine...

 

That Saturday relies on him otherwise its sh*t

The tent doesn’t interest me at all but the names on main are pretty decent . Haven’t seen Wolf Alice for 6 years so I’m excited for that and sugababes were good last year at victorious. 
 

Without Sam it wouldn’t be worth going but I do like it as a whole. 
 

wondering who the last names will be for the main stage , any chance of anyone big?

[FestivalJamie]

It’s a long shot but Lorde is also releasing a new single end of next week and I’m wondering if she could debut it at BIG weekend , she was promoted by them during her last album and played.

 

think it’s unlikely as it would all be rushed but given she just appeared with charli at Coachella I’m not ruling it out 100% for the radio and streaming exposure for her.

[nathanh]

Cant help but think this announcement was rushed out to try and push the Friday. Think more names in May like previous years.
