Can't say I'm bothered about anymore headline announcements or tweaks.
Much more interested in who is going to fill the plethora of empty daytime slots

Skepta ,James Bay, Walking on Cars, Bellx1

Setting Son & Let Forever Be - two big collaborations with Noel Gallagher. Though they'd have to come on stage with him on Sat as he's playing in Wales on the Friday. And that sounds tricky with their set-up.

Plug in sequencer and press play?

on 2FM they are saying its 2 artists

last shadow puppets seems to be the most reasonable suggestion so far. Based on touring, availability, collaboration, and single band.

Agree - though it's a bit weird to still refer to them as a collaboration.

No Radiohead then.

Glad I never got excited by that announcement....bell xfecking1

OhHiMark

What's wrong with Bell X1? They're fantastic.

team_actimel

What a letdown. After making the big hullabaloo about the announcement of the announcement we get these substandard acts.

Skepta should be good, love his new album.

Have they announced who?

I'm well happy with that now. It's added another 6-7 acts to my already long list of acts to see.
Roll on EP 😎

no 2fm havent announced it yet , they are building it up to be huge. Wouldn't get my hopes up being honest.

Bit of an anticlimax, for me anyway

CSWS101

Skepta & Rejjie Snow added to my must see list from that announcement for me.

God those 30 acts are a complete let down. Suppose it's what I get for purchasing tickets in advance

SoundOfSilence

James Gay

Space Shanty

Safe to say they have definitely done it on the cheap this year

Blackie_IRL

Loads of the "new" acts announced were already on the line-up and playing in red bull, other voices etc. Feel a bit cheated tbh

SoundOfSilence

Based on the acts announced I reckon the big collaboration will be James morrison and nelly furtado.

Savage stuff!

In fairness if you were waiting on an announcement two wks before the festival to make you buy your ticket there's something a miss there!!!

neddynono

2fm said its about their involvement in EP too. Don't get your hopes up. It's probably more about their own area in the site

Couple in there I'll be quite happy to see, wasn't expecting much, got something, happy out...

Sigh. Underwhelming.

Considering how much the tickets are, the standard of line up is very disapointing. Makes you wonder where all the money is going
