    don't really see any relevance to ATN to be honest. Rage were never going to be playing ATN, awful fit musically for the festival, regardless of whether they were in budget or not. headliners so far have included Roisin Murphy, Fleet Foxes, Mura Masa, Patti Smith, Jon Hopkins....RATM don't exactly fit in amongst them.

    Does that mean they can never change tact ?

    Even Glastonbury changes !

    Changing tact is one thing but this would have been a wholesale change - RATM are playing festivals and arenas several times bigger than ATN. Reading, Leeds, EP and Lolla Berlin are all over 60k aren't they? ATN is, what, 15k?

    He never mentioned the size of the festival .... just it being "an awful fit musically"

    Which is why I said the organisers could/should change tact …..

    Except for the very next sentence which said "regardless of whether they were in budget or not"...

    That's the piece I was responding to. Apologies if I misread what you were commenting on.

    A little bit of tension here.

    We need an announcement. When are we expecting one again?

    Before the end of the month. That's about as specific as they've gotten on social media.

    Do they tend to announce on a specific day/time?

    Can't even remember when they announced last year. Pretty sure we'd our 2019 tickets bought a lot earlier, certainly before NYE 2018. Visibly less hype around this year.

    Did I mention the traffic?

    To be fair they only need to sell the same amount of tickets, no need to be spending huge money on overreaching advertisement to achieve what will nearly happen naturally.

    Let's hope they're saving the ad budget for acts

    Was there a noticeable wasp infestation on the first year of ATN?

    Pussy Riot playing Bluedot the weekend before - after last years cancellation there's no doubt that they will be back

    Was the cancellation due to visa issues? Or is that another act I'm thinking of?

    Full lineup from Bluedot, I am getting more and more excited by the prospect of Groove Armada live.

    Always enjoyed Groove Armada shows back in the day. They seemed to play every festival I went to about 15 years ago. Would suit ATN perfectly.

    You can rule out Metronomy and Roisin Murphy as they're at Body & Soul but the rest must all be in contention.

    you'd have to imagine POD favourites Groove Armada are nailed-on?

    Spiritualized and Tangerine Dream would be nice too (assuming the latter isn't ruined by the chatters!)

    If both Groove Armada and Bjork show up, my missus will be absolutely set....might even make up for her annoyance over EP getting Rage Against the Machine!

    Groove Armada, Bjork, Tangerine Dream, Squarepusher, Spiritualized would all be savage bookings. I'm not basing this on anything, but I'd imagine Bjork might be too expensive for ATN to get, would imagine she demands a fair old fee in comparison to the rest.
