It's so poor they're almost sold out (50k cap next year). Don't know what people expected tbh, there's not that much around. All I see is yapping about lineups so don't really know which bands could improve it...
That's pretty poor then imo, comparing to previous years... Coupled with the accomodation issues I'm having second thoughts about this festival now... Guess I'll just have to stay positive and head there with an open mind, but the line-up's not what I was expecting following that first announcement. I probbaly should've waited!
I don't expect them to announce many more medium-sized bands, maybe 2-3? But nothing crazy... the major names are out, now they will fill it with local acts and smaller up and coming bands.
they definitely blasted the majority of the budget on Linkip Park... I've seen many people suggest this, and it's becoming more evident with every announcement.
Having said that, Sex Pistols should be fun, it's something new for me personally and Frank Carter is great live. So I'm not exactly disappointed, although I was hoping for more for the 4th headliner...
What other medium-sized bands are people expecting to be added then?
Just my personal taste of not liking them. It's not a criticism of the organisers, they've done very well with the set of headliners and bagging guns n roses for a bit extra.
