honestly i've never heard of any of them, but looking at the past line ups they have really dropped this year. No good hiphop acts and I swear sunday is a dad-rock marathon

I just see Pulp as a band that appeal little to youth... more of the older generation. Same thing with Grace Jones.

and because the past few years have had a lot of good hip-hop, this year the 'urban' day has transformed into a pop day.

[rickalessi]

Wow. I am gobsmacked at the mediocrity added to the bill for the Sunday. A few years ago, they had a day headlined by Morrissey with support from Beck, The Courteeners, The National, Guillemots and many more decent bands.

Just remember, they announced Pulp first. Surely that means they wanted PULP FANS to come to this day. I am one, I used to love them, so I thought there'll be some exciting bands to join them, acts that I'll appreciate. I thought I'd be rewarded. Grace Jones? Really? Are Pulp fans going to like Grace Jones? I'm sure her live shows are quite a spectacle, but I'm going for some music! Out of the other bands, the only other one I like is TV on the Radio, who are great to be fair. The rest are just trash. With each of the past two announcements I've logged on to see who would be added and come away feeling like I've been kicked in the face.

I was also lead to believe that this show was a UK Festival Exclusive. Not so it seems.

I'm going to sell my ticket and get a day ticket for Reading instead. It might be an extra £40 but at least there'll be a couple of other decent bands on.

[sehguh]

i'm considering the same, mainly because the saturday has OFWGKTA at the NME stage

[sehguh]

more announcements, sunday is still so mediocore

Yeah, the Sunday bill hasn't filled out as well as I thought it would. There's still a few great acts in there though - Fight Like Apes and TV on the Radio (assuming they play) being the two I'm keenest on. To be fair, there's also about half a dozen acts in there I've never heard, any recommendations?

How many more acts are still likely to be added to Sunday's line-up?

[sehguh]

Just post the links behind "www.youtube.com", i'm not allowed to post over 2 videos here so i'll just give the links

The Horrors: /watch?v=5eRX4QHZLfo , /watch?v=v7WAHnZPIX0

Foals: /watch?v=vQ90LRaEIt0 , /watch?v=YaVE4WVlsDQ , /watch?v=jX7sniIVmtM

They are realllllly good live, first album is good too

Metronomy: /watch?v=sFrNsSnk8GM , /watch?v=uYB2Mqs24ss , /watch?v=ntVV3dTo-qw

Funeral Party: /watch?v=UQ4p1K9Vz1E , /watch?v=bBz1qeVtvxE

Wireless replied to someone on facebook asking if there will be more acts with "More line up additions to come VERY soon!"

I was at Morrissey

But I'd imagine quite a lot of Pulp fans like Grace Jones. They share the same kind of synth sound, and she's a massive booking, so I imagine there's quite a lot of overlap.

[tolywoly]

Im a massive Pulp fan and really do not get this booking at all :angry:

There are a few bands I now like on the Sunday bill, Foals, TV on the Radio, Naked and Famous, Yuck and Devotchka. Hopefully I won't have any clashes. But it still seems to be very weak especially compared to Saturdays. Wish Spearhead were added to Sunday rather than Saturday!

[freeak]

I hope they will split the bands into their respective stages soon. Would be nice to get a rough idea of the clashes.

[Vogue]

I'm also a huge Pulp fan, and I had expected much more from the rest of the Sunday lineup- there are a few great acts in there (really looking forward to Foals!) but it's not what I had expected at all. Saying that, I would have paid £50 to see Pulp alone, and everything else is just build-up while I wait for my favourite band

[the bogus man]

Has anyone received their tickets? I ordered 6 and haven't had them yet. I have just gone through my emails at the time and can find no confirmation email. The money has gone from my credit card, the reference is a telephone number which I have rung and it turns out to be Seetickets.

[sehguh]

I got mine through a while back, don't know what to say really... just ring em

[hard2explain]

I just see Pulp as a band that appeal little to youth...

[cdm22]

If anybody is after a pair of tickets then I (well, my other half!) have a spare pair for sale. Email/pm me if interested

(Pulp that is!)

[sehguh]

not really much to discuss about Wireless is there? besides the lacking line-up

[Bisque]

I think Saturday is strong if you are into dance. Friday is horrific for me & Sunday just a bit dull.

Modestep, Digitalism, Nero, Katy B, The Streets, Chase & Status & of course The Chemical Brothers. I'd pay a few quid for that but most likely seeing most, if not all, at Glasto & Bestival.

[fairy_]

I also have tickets to sell for the Sunday if anyone is interested... Decided to go to the Hop Farm festival instead as it's closer to where I live, but it's on the same day so need to shift these ones now! If anyone is interested in Sunday tickets then please send me a message, I have four to get rid of...

Looking forward to Aphex Twin, Battles and Janelle Monae on the Saturday most

[sehguh]

they are all the acts I mainly wanna see too hahaha, maybe Chromeo also. But yeah, clash nightmare once the times get announced!

[edfirth]

The Streets and Chase & Status are at Benicassim so I'm hoping it's just them I have to miss
