For me they've nailed it on this lineup. Something old, something new. A bit of rock, indie, dance, pop it's all in there. Some quality older acts for us festival veterans, then some more upto date stuff as well like the Olivia day and fender day.
Then again I'm also going to rock for people, for a weekend of the rock stuff.
Well said.
I would add just one but imho important point - once the headliners are locked in, you can TO A CERTAIN DEGREE influence who else is playing on that particular day, ie. if you go for the lineup diversity or rather catering towards the headliner (sub)genre.
That being said, they can also influence the announcement timeline, e.g. we already know that Weezer and Franz F are playing but they weren't announced yet - just 7 acts out of ±25 for Thu/Sun are public, so it's possible that the rest of the day will be different but some names were held back to create a perception of pop Sunday and rock Thu?
Anyway, putting the festival lineup is super complex and people will always complain no matter what 🙂
I am looking forward to whatever they have in store for us, we have 65 pages long thread already and I am sure it will be much longer before July.
I don’t listent to the radio. He is amongst my favourite rappers. He would be amingst the smaller headliner acts if he in fact headlines.
I could probably name 20 other rappers that would bring a bigger crowd than him. And there aren’t many rappers that could headline a major festival.
