they were at jera on air last year, and suitably great. 

 

I will admit i know absolutely nothing about cory wong, harry mack or don west, but at least it doesn't create clashing headaches for what's already there. Guessing mostly barn/klub c acts? 

Yeah I’d presume they’ll all head in those places, people seem to think Cory Wong will be quite high in Klub c, Harry Mack will be in there too tbf.  Don West I suppose can fit all the stages

 

Think we know 6 of the remaining 26 if rumours of the brew Belgium acts are correct too but like you just said, already got clashing headaches so a few less isn’t a problem

Ah that makes sense, closer match to the UK dates just announced too. Hoping we might still get one or two heavier hardcore/punk type acts announced. 

At this time, I just want Knocked Loose and Denzel Curry to come. I can't stop listening to Hive Mind since it released

I’m clearly busy at work… have added where I think the newly self confirmed acts will be and what we have left.

 

Any placements that seem really wrong at all?

Paris Paloma and TLDP clash feels like one that should be avoided if possible as I can see quite an overlap in fanbase. Otherwise great work and really helpful. Fingers crossed for Slowdive as another Cure support act getting one of those available spots of Sunday!

Wasn’t really sure how big she was but you’re probably right that her and Agnes probably move up a spot and avoid that clash. More sense clashing with Royel Otis

it looks a bit lighter to me in terms of overall quality than last year, i know personal preference and all that but I am struggling to fill my timetable out, whereas last year it was a breeze 

I can fill out the days better this year than last but the headline level compared is poor. You are right though, it's not greatly solid. The Sunday too combo is the standout.

Thats the only day I am disappointed in, thursday - saturday is awesome for my tastes. Sunday I am finding a little bit old hat and old school. Sunday only acts I want to see are The Cure, Mogwai, New Dad and Ethel Cain. Although I am sure Ethel will clash with The Cure. 

 

But 1 average day out of 4 is not bad at all. Plus its only average due to the quality of the previous 3 says.

Agreed about Sunday, the only one I’m of the big acts I’m really bothered about is The Cure.  Can respect the likes of Moby and Byrne for what they are and I’ll no doubt watch them but could do with a couple more additions on that day.  (Although a big fan of Westside Cowboy too)

Saturday is gonna be brutal for me. I already made peace with missing the Pixies for 21P & Gorillaz, but The Reytons too? 

 

Other than that, expect to miss Midnight Generation and Franz Ferdinand, but I can live with that.

You’ll be able to see Reytons if you want but that would mean arriving at Gorrilaz at the start (it’s what I’ll be doing).  Can normally still get a decent ish space anyway

Saturday would be Palaye Royale, Halsey, The Reytons, TOP. I don't need to see Palaye there though as already ticked off elsewhere. The huge 4 hour gap and then 2 hour is the issue. Thursday and Friday work out with the least gaps but early finishes too. More to see this year Thursday but a headliner last year.

As it stands. Must sees are in bold and acts I really want to see are underlined.

 

THU

All Them Witches > The Vaccines > Kasabian > Jade > The War on Drugs > Midnight Generation (The Prodigy) > Blood Incantation


Pretty much complete that day. Doing both TWOD and The Prodigy seems unlikely.

 

FRI 

Kingfishr > Wolf Alice > The Last Dinner Party > Franz Ferdinand > The Warning > The XX

 

Hoping for a nice Barn cohead to complete the day between Franz Ferdinand and The Warning. 

 

SAT

The New Eves > Kneecap > Man/Woman/Chainsaw > Florence Road > Matt Berninger > 21 Pilots > Gorillaz


Halsey / Matt is an unfortunate clash. Would not mind a solid Klub C sub instead of 21P.

SUN

??? > NewDad > Mogwai > David Byrne > The Cure

 

Still a lot to come with afternoon acts but I’ll probably focus on David Byrne and skip Moby (or just see the end of the set from afar) as we’ve seen him in 2024 already.

Can’t edit anymore but The Cure is a must see obviously and the perfect end to my festival.

The Cure is THE must see. I'm still not 100% over a couple of euro fests currently but eurostar prices now likely rule this out. 

 

That would be mine based on this. Mumford, Wolf Alice are clicked more because I'd probably watch, but not bothered really, Mumford more so if I had to pick. There is a lot of missing the end of one/starr of another though.

Maybe I'm just an old school old hat... 🙂

If England win their group they will be Wednesday evening and then if they win that Sunday night/Monday morning about 2am

yeah might work out okay then.

 

I managed to watch 11 acts on the Thursday last year, that was some going 🤣  but then I only saw 3 on the Saturday, so it's just the way it falls and saturday didn't feel any less so maybe it doesn't need to be as padded out as I thought

I think if you’re seeing 30 + acts over a weekend you’re doing brilliantly.  Nice to have some breaks chilling too tbf plus the dance area is quite fun too 

 

Thursday and Friday this year are looking really busy already for me with Saturday and Sunday calmer which isn’t a bad thing

 

Roll on the next announcement

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
