How would this announcement have changed that?

Le Bruise · 23-06-2017 01:05PM

Happy with Elbow & Phoenix....don't know many of the others added so best get Spotifying!!

Amirani · 23-06-2017 01:05PM

Elbow and Phoenix are both solid additions, but nothing too special.

sally cinnamon89 · 23-06-2017 01:06PM

Well..better acts?

Headliners are still weak.

LowOdour · 23-06-2017 01:08PM

i laughed!

D.Q · 23-06-2017 01:08PM

have to laugh at them just elevating already announced acts to the "logo" part of the poster

Everything Everything & Jagwar Ma also good additions.

team_actimel · 23-06-2017 01:08PM

I reckon a lot of tickets will now appear on Toutless, Donedeal, etc.

You expected them to announce that the already announced headliners were no longer the headliners? You're only setting yourselves up for disappointment with these bizarre notions.

By the by, I agree that the headliners are weak.

drunkmonkey · 23-06-2017 01:11PM

Some good additions, headliners are still not headliners though. Elbow should be there. The rest though, it's going to be a dead main stage.

As much as people give out about Oxygen at least it was a bit of competition. There was no money spent on a heavy hitter in that line up.

GidCudi · 23-06-2017 01:12PM

Man that's underwhelming

Facebook in full on meltdown mode!!

BurtMacklin · 23-06-2017 01:12PM

I'm disappointed anyway. Naively held out hope for some bigger acts to be added. The under card was decent originally.
Interpol
Band Or Horses
London Grammar
Michael Kiwanuka
Car Seat Headrest
Soulwax
Father John Misty

Phoenix and Elbow are nice addition but no wow factor for me personally.

Ah well, we just have to get on with it now. It'll be a decent weekend regardless.

GidCudi · 23-06-2017 01:15PM

Here's hoping that a spotify session will uncover a few gems like the original line up...still though...maaaaaan that's bad squishy

Paddy2012 · 23-06-2017 01:15PM

There's still quite a lot I'd like to see so I'm pretty happy but I think its clear that (due to its popularity) festival republic have clearly reduced spending on EP at the expense of their other festivals which aren't doing as well.

Mcbee88 · 23-06-2017 01:16PM

Obviously I know its all down to your own personal taste etc etc, but just giving my opinion on todays announcement, and that is one of disappointment. Was hoping for a few more mid-range acts to get excited about. Still going though, I have wellies I got in pennies 2 years ago that need an outing (and happy with the lemon twigs addition)

They added Blur and Sam Smith late a couple years ago, went straight to headliners obviously. Last year Noel Gallagher and 1975. Whether they're your cup of tea or not, they're pretty big acts compared to this addition.

Knex* · 23-06-2017 01:18PM

I'm actually very happy with the additions and the lineup overall.

Not sure what people wanted, tbh.

Everything everything put on an amazing live show. Can't wait for that.

The last act on the main stage should have you rocking out of the arena. That's not going to happen.

Were all going to be heading out to the forest chanting Hungry like a Wolf....

scruff monkey · 23-06-2017 01:18PM

Elbow twice in a year, **** yes!

bennyineire · 23-06-2017 01:21PM

If you need some perspective on how crap the lineup is for the money you pay have a look at the lineup for Glastonbury and have yourself a little cry

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/line-up-2017/?stage

And before anybody says you can't compare the festivals, have a look at the lineups for both 5 or 6 years ago
