Looks like a headliner and sub still to come so Manics into faithless maybe? Does anyone know when they'll anounce the next wave?

I really hope you are right with the Faithless suggestion. It would make my year! Manics would also go down a treat.

[The Other Steve]

Any idea when the next wave of acts will be announced?

It was middle of March last year, which is roughly in line with several others. I see one or two have announced their first acts earlier this year so YN might be sooner

I can see Faithless and James Bay be the final headliners

What makes you think that?  

[oneoftherest]

What's making people go to Faithless? I'm thinking if it's gonna be dance itll be Chemical Brothers which would be mint

[stevieg1993]

Well James Bay is doing boardmasters in August so he might do a few festivals especially because boardmasters is in newquey as well it wouldn't be so bad if he did a northen festival. 

Would be great if they went all out and got somebody like the prodigy. With Noel and the prodigy that would really compete with the big boys then have a newer artist like James Bay, last shadow puppets, Maccabees 

.

[Chaarlie]

Faithless are playing loads of festivals in the UK at the moment, I feel like Noel is their big headliner this year, no way it'll be the Prodigy, I'd say its all but confirmed Dizzie Rascal since hes at tramlines, James Bay is unlikely to play smaller fests after how big hes got I think but I'd love to be proved wrong. Slaves would be a nice one to add, they've played before and they're at every other UK festival this year.

What are the campsites like at night? Are they all pretty lively or is there no difference?

[AldoTVAOF]

Does anybody here know when shuttle bus times/prices are usually announced? Or does anybody have a shuttle bus timetable from last year, are they fairly regular?

Will need to book trains from Edinburgh sometime soon when they go on sale and don't want to book a train and then there not be a shuttle bus anytime near when I arrive and have to jump a cab.

[oneoftherest]

Just bought tickets!

[leej7]

next headliner to be announced on tuesday, confirmed on twitter.

[Dazoodo07]

No one with any insider 'Gossip'? Dance act? Oldie act? More Indie?

It Was fairly accurate last time out with the madness leak.....

 

 

[oneoftherest]

They usually have atleast one dance headliner so I'd expect it to be a dance act but if not it'll probably be a current artist. It won't be another oldie, I don't think considering the other two are Noel and Madness who appeal to an older audience anyway

I think it'll either be Bastille or Chemical Brothers

[oneoftherest]

Other acts that I'd guess at are The Enemy, The Coral, maybe Gaz Coombes, We Are The Ocean, Hacktivist and if they have space Manic Street Preachers

Faithless have a song called WOOZY.

Awesome.

[oneoftherest]

Last picks for tomorrows announcement?

[jonnyf]

I have a feeling the last headliner will be Dizzee Rascal

 

Bands I hope get announced are The Coral, The Virginmarys, The King Blues, Deep Vally, Frank Carter, Radkey, Skindred and The Joy Formidable.

 

[jonnyf]

LOL just a theory.

[oneoftherest]

Dizzee isn't big enough anymore, not next to Madness and Noel G

[JBarbour]

Dizzee is def big enough. 

He's big enough to headline other count of ten festivals. 

With two big headliners for a small / medium festival that won't have come cheap, I wouldn't expect the final headliner to be quite as big anyway. 

[oneoftherest]

I'd say the same Craig, but Dizzee is doing the smaller ones of the count of ten. I.E Tramlines (£35 for a weekend ticket) 

Also its only been 2 years, that'd be a bit odd

My picks are one of Jake Bugg, Bastille,Chemcical Brothers, Faithless or Kaiser Chiefs. Just from looking at other festivals and making a guess.

[JBarbour]

Wowzer this is a good year for Y Not some great additions 

[oneoftherest]

Who's been added Craig? Didn't think announcement was until 7pm

[Huckleberry Finn]

Not sure how credible they are but Music News says Editors and Kelis among others. The Coral for Thursday. http://www.music-news.com/news/Underground/96154/Editors-Kelis-Band-Of-Skulls-The-Coral-join-Y-Not?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
