2000 Trees

[justanothername]

Yeah Frightened Rabbit aren't headlining and not really surprised when I think about it. The fest has grown since 2014 (like Deaf Havana didn't headline last year despite headlining it in 2015) though it makes me wonder why they are holding back the final headliner. The only things I can of is that they are waiting for a tour to finish though I would have thought no one touring now or about to tour would be suitable or they've got other festival commitments so can't be announced until later, which would make me think its Neck Deep.

Frightened Rabbit, Blood Red Shoes, ASIWYFA and Bloody Knees are all great additions for me. Still haven't heard about my graduation so still not sure if I can make it but I really hope so at this rate

Nice to see Black Honey announced, wouldn't have predicted that. Dead! and Bloody Knees are also highlights for me. Great announcement overall, need to get listening to the ones i'm not so familiar with, any particular recommendations?

Blood Red Shoes are probably something you enjoy so check them out and if you've never listened to The Midnight Organ Fight by FR then now is as good as time as any great band.

Given that clue and the timing of the announcement I'm 99% sure it's Frightened Rabbit and that make me very happy. They were great last week so will be looking forward to seeing them again

Also shame about Marmozets, I thought they were nailed on but I gave up on them when they announced that quite big London show in October. Guess they'd rather do their own thing 

They can't do Trees cos of mainstage at Download.

Well Boston Manor are playing the Main at Download and still playing Trees so I doubt it's because of that. Download will probably not really play into it unless they're an exclusive there, which I don't think is the case.

They can do Trees they just aren't because they could only play the Thursday which is looking pretty full.

Or Frank Turner as he is on tour in May.

That's been my assumption the entire time.

There is a convenient gap in his North America tour schedule.

Really can't see them waiting til May to announce him. I'd imagine there's been an agreed date between when he will have shifted most of what he's going to shift.

My Vitriol is a nice surprise, hoping they do more dates in the summer.

Forgot about that actually, he did say no fests but he's probably lying. I'm not seeing him in April as The Wonder Years are playing next door in Manc and that's a no brainier for me so I wouldn't mind him headlining.

I’m pretty surprised milk teeth haven’t been announced yet considering the rest of the tour they just did is at trees. Then again I think that would make them 3 years on the trot, but black peaks have done that anyway so who knows.

[SOAD]

Right so based on relative place on the poster/announced days and stages (as well as assuming a reasonable even spread of act size) I think we currently have placements something like this:

Thursday

At The Drive In
Frightened Rabbit
Arcane Roots
???
Turbowolf
Black Foxxes
Ben Marwood

???
Black Peaks
Boston Manor
Vukovi

Hopefully give us an idea of what size bands are left to be announced. Didn't add Forest Sessions as so few added to that and kind of hard to predict the order.
