Love bluedot. Really hoping for any of arcade fire, Thom Yorke, the national, pet shop boys, nick cave,bjork, aphex twin,suede.

However, looking at rumours and who bluedot are following/reposting on twitter, afraid we may get doves, mogwai, primal scream, the charlatans which would be pretty poor.

I can't see Primal Scream headlining, Although they'd be a good sub, or perhaps even an Orbit headliner (although usually they go for electronic stuff with that).

 

But I think Nick Cave, Bjork and The National are probably a bit too big for this

I think you're probably right unfortunately, although I'm not sure bjork is a bigger draw than kraftwerk,new order or chemical brothers these days. Her last few festivals haven't sold that well and didn't she headline wilderness a few years back? I love bjork so just clutching at straws really

No chance they’re announcing a nonce.  Let alone an absolutely irrelevant nonce.

I reckon primal scream, mogwai and Pet shop boys

Me and a couple of friends are doing Blue dot for first time this year. Haven't gone to a camping festival in UK since Beacons in 2014. Mostly done one dayers or overseas festivals but we miss those 9am ciders on the campsite so time to get back in the saddle 😂

Thought it may be PSB but they've got a big UK tour the month before so I would assume that rules them out. Mogwai aren't big enough to headline.

Primal Scream or Doves / Beck / Massive Attack

Would be my best guesses. The XX would be good headliners for it as well.

Jesus, that's a very serious and libellous allegation you make there!! 

[the wonderwhy]

Mogwai, Bombay Bicycle Club, Underworld 

[Dave85radiohead]

I think doves are nailed on  Wasn't there a question and answer session with the organisers discussing future plans for the festival where they said that they booked one of this year's headliners last year?

 

[danceonfire]

Ok then my final guess is Doves, Pet Shop Boys, Massive Attack.

I could go with that one

[jannybruck]

Massive Attack are confirmed for All Points East who will want an exclusive, so I'd be very surprised if it was them.

Where's it confirmed please? Any other acts etc?

[Superunknown]

Been said by someone on here in the APE thread who seems to be in the know but nothing concrete

there were plenty of last year's APE headliners that weren't exclusive. I can't really see why MA would be.

Getting announced next week apparently.
 

[Dave85radiohead]

According to bledot's twitter announcement due shortly and 'putting final touches' on the announcement.

They have changed their colour scheme too so probably a hint in there somewhere though I can't find it 

[Sawbaws]

Seen the colour scheme and immediately thought .....tangerine dream

[Dave85radiohead]

The YouTube page has a trailer with 30 seconds of music which sounds suspiciously like Thom Yorke's last I heard. Fingers crossed

You have to click on the orange bluedot icon and it comes up.

I tried to Shazam it but got no results

I imagine his Manchester dates in June rule him out
