rough clashfinder, maybe a bit optimistic on Sunday set lengths tho

Are headliner slots that long at Big Weekend?

[NickisGinger]

I thought they were only an hour?

Varies, neither were last year but Biffy did about 1hr15 in 2013 IIRC

edit: no they didn't, i'm going mad, okay changed the times

Surely they gotta add more names to INMWT. absence of Everything Everything - after the amount they've been playing that new track - and Jessie Ware - after she was announced for the Academy thing - very bizarre.

I'm very surprised lethal bizzle isn't on the inmwt stage

[Semprini]

When do they announce BBCi stage?

Wednesday evening on Huw Stephen's show.

[Gucci Piggy]

Hahahaha well I did not expect that. Muse, Snoop Dogg, The Vaccines, Charli XCX and Slaves in a day for free will do me just fine.

Might be going Sunday as well if my brother doesn't need give his spare ticket to a friend, but other than Foos there's nothing I'd really wanna see. I'd see Swift cause that's who the entire group's going for but before that it's a little light.

Rita Ora has played four Big Weekends in a row ffs, what does she have on the lead bookers

[LondonTom]

Gutted I didn't at least try for tickets (and I think my mate would come under the wider area tickets )

That saturday is fantastic for free!!!

And has only released one album. She hasn't released anything new since last year so it's likely to be practically the same set.

She's only released one new song since 2012 never mind last year, complete joke :guninmouth:

Swap Ora and Ben Howard over and it looks so much more balanced in terms of strength. Gah. But I guess this is what happens when you don't take advantadge of Maroon 5 having very convinent tour dates despite playlisting them constantly

Crying inside.

Could Foo's bring on guests?

Was about to say Iggy Pop but he's only supporting them on their June dates not the May ones. Not sure he'd be worth the trouble for a Radio 1 crowd anyway. Maybe Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs can come on and do some running about.

Ricky seems a good shout

[Bisque]

I can't tell if this is shit or not?

Looking to swap my 2x Saturday for 2x Sunday tickets if anyone's got them spare/wants to swap?

The BBC Introducing acts have been announced, including these guys...

[Gucci Piggy]

Saw Kill It Kid supporting The Joy Formidable in 2013 (I think) and they were quality.

What are we expecting for stage placings?

Big weekend is hard to predict as it's not unheard of for some big act to open the day, or a big act like Pharrell last year to play 5th down!

Olly Murs tweeted that he was opening, so there's that Edited April 26, 2015 by Zac Quinn

Looking at last year's clashfinder, is it reasonable to expect it'll be possible to see Snoop Dogg > Kill it Kid > Muse? Probably will just end up going to the main stage after Snoop Dogg anyway to get a decent spot.
