That Sunday line up is very tempting.

deerhunter, flo po, four tet, holly h, MCDE!!!, wild nothing, youth lagoon, pj, beach house, GOAT!, thurstom more, optimo.... yeah, yeah. I'll be there

[LondonTom]

Meh, its ok. Nothing I  am overly interested in. They all pretty make nice additions for me and I'd see them if I was there.

 

Can't make out who the Saturday headliner is? or is that hopefully to be TBA? Four Tet?

[tjamest]

Liking the look of Sunday as well, but as much as I love Polly J I have been a bit disappointed every time I have seen her live in the past.

Certainly not Four Tet, think it's still TBA especially if you look at the way that Field Day have put PJ Harvey big above the others in the individual Sunday poster, but nobody at the top for the Saturday one

[russycarps]

shame pj isnt playing saturday, but I'll be there I think

 

[brayshizzle]

Ill be there! 

Anyone ever grab the VIP tickets? Wonder if its worth it. Probably not.

In regards to the headliner...for some reason I think the Cure.

I am sure its just a small bar, and some nice cushions/bean bags that are fenced off. I thought the bars weren't that bad when I went so I doubt its worth it.

They're in Chicago that evening.

arse...

Saturday's headliner is often someone more danceable in balance to the rockier Sunday lineup.

Probably dreaming with this one but if LCD Soundsystem are reuniting as rumoured and probably playing Primavera Sound around FD then maybe this is the 'one UK festival' they're headlining, which explains the delay and the similar holdup for the first PS headliner. Not entirely convinced of this reunion happening but it'd explain a lot. Huge coup if it happened though.

[LondonTom]

Would buy a Saturday ticket straight away if that happened!

That would be pretty massive if they did. I still have a slight feeling they are touring. People on the Coachella forums are calling it a lock. For some reason I think LCD would do Reading/leads or IOW/Bestival.

But the fact they are holding off makes sense. Coachella always get the exclusive announcements so we wont find out until January. 

[thetime]

Ben Watt and Bernard Butler is going to the be an interesting one.

 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Very tempted by the Sunday. If I wasn't currently made skint by moving house I'd probably just buy a ticket now...

The Sunday lineup is pretty much perfect for me. I'm hoping to get a ticket for Christmas

My parents got me VIP tickets for my birthday and yes, you are pretty much bang on. There is a cocktail bar, a little area for sitting down in, some nicer toilets and a fried chicken stall. Only spend about an hour in there to be honest with you.

[tuckdails]

Long shot but do you think that LCD Soundsystem could be the Saturday headliner? It's odd that the festival hasn't announced it yet as they normally announce both headliners at the same time so they could be waiting till they are allowed to announce them.

[Tuna]

yeah its certainly a possibility

[TomViolence]

Rumours on reddit are that LCD are lined up for Bonnaroo which is the same weekend as Field Day. Hopefully that's not the case, I was hopeful they would be our Saturday headliner.

[zahidf]

lcd unlikely id say. too big for a typical sat headliner.

Very likely as they are apparantly not at Gov's Ball. Bon will be out next week I'd imagine anyway. Can't think of anythong worse than LCD and PJ as two headers mind.

[TomViolence]

See I couldn't think of anything better (if we're being realistic to the size of Field Day). Horses for courses though hey
