    Throwing together a playlist for people who aren't ****e craic.


    Lot of people on here need to stop looking at festivals, looks like you'll be disappointed no matter what.

    The amount of utter ****e ahead of Foals and Ian Brown is a disgrace

    Not only is the lineup largely a bit ****e, the stuff they got right is actually really lazy.

    Rage, RTJ, Foals, Chemical Brothers all great acts. Apart from Rage, they all play here at least once every two years. The Chemical Brothers will be here in June, for fecks sake.

    Just Mustard, Bicep, Skepta, Ian Brown, Little Simz all decent too. They're also not hard to catch. Ian brown is playing a rake of shows here already this year.


    Very poor really.

    Time to finally accept that EP has made its switch to a latter day Oxegen.

    It's clear from that line up, and line ups from preceding years, that they've gone for a much younger crowd. The lineup is just big pop acts.

    Yes. That's why they've booked Rage Against the Machine and Ian Brown.

    Well there has to be something for the people who have been going since before their target audience was born.

    How have Foals dropped so low on the poster? Is their star waning that much? Five years ago I saw them as future Glasto headliners and they had a number one and number two album in the UK last year. Maybe just surpassed by others.

    They're always worth a look. I'll also catch RATM, Aoife Nessa Francis, Rejjie Snow, Ian Brown, JV McMorrow, Just Mustard, Black Country New Road, the Chemicals & Little Simz. None of whom I'd shell out a lot of money to see elsewhere.

    The Summer announcements need to be good.

    Ratm
    Ian Brown
    Foals
    Saint sister
    Just Mustard
    James Vincent

    Enough there to make me push through.

    And Rick Astley of course.

    It's funny that the ones who never post on this thread love to come out of the woodwork to whinge and moan. If none of us knew about Rage and Run the Jewels already most would be happy.

    I have no interest in picture this or Lewis capaldi but the rest of the headliners are fine. Snow patrol and chems were predicted here months ago. I'd say Liam Gallagher will get added next announcement and the 100+ acts to add in as well.

    This announcement is....grand. I'm indifferent to it. Still buzzing for Rage so I'm still happy.

    Headliners Schmedliners.

    All the fun is in the lower case acts and there's a shedload more to be announced.

    Keep the faith* folks!

    Can't help thinking that the big mothership they're building has taken a significant toll on the petty cash...
    Or have they changed their research people who are so unimaginative...
    Or are they serving up what the people ordered?

    It definitely does look like a lineup afraid to book from too far afield.

    Not great at all for my music taste. Very unimaginative IMO. Like Snow Patrol FFS for a 70,000 person festival that's very poor. It is clear the market they are going after - the younger people and I can see why. But just doesn't fit me and that's grand. There's ATN and B&S for others.

    Although Black Country New Road savage. Everyone should check them out who's going!!!

    Snow patrol have played cto those crowds and bigger over the years. Not saying I'm a huge fan but they will draw the casual late 20s early 30s crowd.

    Who are all these stains that have emerged from under their rocks to whine? GFY lads. Foals and Brown headlining the Lekky Arena will be deadly.

    They're serving up 2 big names for the younger crowd in PT and Lewis Capaldi, those names will draw headlines and a bit of squealing on the FB page

    Of the list, happy with
    RATM, Ian Brown, Run the Jewels , Foals, James Vincent McMorrow, The Magic Gang,The Lathums.


    One saving grace is that last year, I ended up seeing 5 or 6 from the second announcement so something to cling on to.

    Being positive: Foals and Ian Brown, happy days!!

    Being honest:
    0 from the top tier (pretty unimpressive tbh)
    2 from the 2nd tier (Foals / Ian Brown)
    0 from the 3rd tier (I need to swot up)
    4 from the 4th tier (Aoife Nessa Frances / Black Country, New Road / Romare / Just Mustard)

    We've no Pink Moon booked this year, so it'll be easy to sell the tickets on if needs be.

    As someone who likes rap & electronic music, hard not to like that announcement, even if there's no one single name that makes me super excited

    Didnt realise you need north of 1000 posts on boards to have an opinion on the lineup. Guess going to the festival for years on end isnt good enough to form an opinion.

    I get the undercard argument but even with that dont think it's a great line up. In fairness they sell out months before line up is out so seems like people go regardless. Definitely aiming for a younger audience alright

    Or some acts have pulled out due to Covid-19?

    It doesn't matter how many times you go through this process. All I can see is Snow Patrol, Lewis Capaldi and Picture This. I'll be ok. I need time.

    The worst thing is they will be on main stage probably at 10pm. I could maybe listen to them around 6pm with a bucket of chicken wings keeping me busy.

    Chicken wing music
