OPTIMUS ALIVE´14

[HarryP95]

we aren't getting anything today, they just posted the same old poster with no new names

[Grimshaw]

"not yet, we have more announcements this week."

I think we're getting the headliner at some point this week.

As do I, thursday i reckon.

[rmuscat18]

This is how they replied to the millionth person asking for the headliner...

"We can't announce the third headliner yet, we're working hard on it everyday and will announce as soon as possible."

Looks pretty obvious that they have no one yet :/

[willjill]

Yep! They're like a broken record. I do feel sorry for whoever has to put up the FB and Twitter posts because they know that nobody wants to see what they're about to post and all it will generate is another round of "what about the 3rd headliner? "

[Grimshaw]

Yeah, no headliner this week i don't think. Just messaged me saying. More acts soon, Headliner as soon as possible.

Somehow I don't think that'll get an announcement any quicker

[HarryP95]

hahaha they do need a kick up the backside though do the organising team, maybe a brick to the face is a bit far

[Hawky]

The key part of their tweet is the 's' on the end of announcement.

Plus, just because they can't tell us doesn't mean they have nobody, bands have weird clauses in their contracts nowadays.

I doubt very much that any band would still be holding back an announcement at this late stage.

And why not give the rest of the lineup because there are clearly gaps to be filled.

Makes no economical sense to be withholding lineup info intentionally.

Completely agree, at this late stage have to be struggling with numbers, or completely losing the plot.

I'm happy with the lineup so far anyway. I'd take it. There's enough.o want to see... don't need more clashes.

Same here, already bought my 3 days pass plus camping

[markmarkmark]

Nah, I want more bands. You buy a ticket in good faith that the festival will deliver it's promise of 125 acts and as far as I'm concerned it hasn't. I hope I'm proven wrong in the next few days however a line up should really be complete when the festival is this close.

[piemmepi]

I took a leap of faith and bought a 3 day ticket rather than a Thursday ticket yesterday. I am still confident we are going at least to get something!

Agreed - at the moment the Saturday line up couldn't pull the sheets off my bed, let alone entice me out of it to go any further than the sun lounger outside our apartment

Phantogram confirmed for Optimus Clubbin!!

Good news. It means that better groups will be confirmed to 12th.

[Dom Wall]

Loving Boys Noize, but Phantogram?

EDIT: Wow... I take that back about Phantogram, love them! Also, I know Skrillex is playing another Portuguese festival, but how about Dog Meat (Skrillex&Boys Noize together) playing after a headliner? Skrillex happens to be in Italy on the Friday..and in Russia on the Sunday with Saturday free..)
