Graham Coxon and The Maccabbees has made me a very happy man. Plus the cuban brothers!

[Joe-]

Good stuff, surpised me how good it is.

Maccabee's, coxon, newton faulkner, cuban brothers, little comets, etc. Awesome.

Looks like I'll be at Summer Sundae again.

[David Wilson Clarke]

Ummm...

"These festive ticket prices would make the ideal Christmas present"

Lot's of bands I don't know, which I like. That's the joy of SSW, for me, discovering new stuff.

[llcoolphil]

What a rubbish announcement. No we always say that. Some great bands there. Never heard of anyone.

Just thought id go first.

[sonya-r]

Well satisfied with that lot. Already have my early bird tickets.

Aint been since 2007 and i wont be back with this lot at that ticket price. Its a shame 2006 was a standout year for me, i dont think 'for me' it will ever get close to it again.

Nah, don't think so, wouldn't mind seeing Coxon again, haven't seen him for a while, and The Bees would be fun, but I absolutley hate the Maccabees, Newton is ok, but nothing to excite me really in the bulk of that

Im glad other people like it, but Id really like to return one of the years but its not gunna be this year.

[themangus]

Probably going to try and fit in a couple of fests in August.

Keeping this in mind w/ Coxon and Maccabees being announced.

Will wait for another couple of acts that I really like before I decide for sure.

Im more enthusiastic seeing that the 'big 3' names here arnt all labeled as headliners! I dont see any worthy of headlining but it looks like the Macabees will be.... Wack in 2 worthy headliners for the price were paying, lets say something along the lines of...James? Kaiser Chiefs? Manic St Preachers? Primal Scream?

and then i think we will start to see the line up come together fingures crossed! realistically we probably already are looking at the 3 headliners when we read this 1st announcement but i wanna stay positive!

[fullfathom5]

Graham Coxon - that is all I have to say, oh yeah!

That's true, Maccabee's are the only headliners announced so far.

Probably wouldn't go if Graham Coxon and Newton Faulkner headline (I like them though).

[little car]

If the three headliners have been announced, this festival suddenly became the worst value for money on the circuit

[Joe-]

I think Maccabee's will be pretty awesome headliners, being indie they're sure to sell quite a lot of tickets.

Think they're better than last years headliners (Apart from Seasick!) but that's obviously just my opinion.

Also a video on their website looks quite good

I've bought my ticket, haven't missed a summer sundae yet. I'm glad its still happening and I'm sure the organisers work extremely

hard to put on a good show but has the budget been cut ??? The first line up announcement always throws up at least half a dozen acts

I would love to see. Blimey not this year.....the next announcement might put that right, I hope.

[Ed Leaf]

Ive been thinking this about SSW for a while now. The quality in the line ups have seriously nosedived in recent years

When you look at Hop Farm for the same money, makes you think about what you're getting for your cash.

[Ed Leaf]

Oh and as Rob C was looking forward to the usual to and fro regarding the bill, Newton Faulkner is a ******* stage school pseudo hippie ****.

I thank you.

Any one know when the headliners are going to be announced, bar The Maccabees obviously. At the moment its looking like a fairly good lineup but a couple of good headliners would set it off perfectly.
