Blue Dot Festival

[Dave85radiohead]

For no reason other than it would be a dream booking for this festival I'm going for Arcade fire

Christine and the queens have released a new single. Another name in the hat.

"Exciting news incoming tomorrow" - their Twitter

 

Boomtown's lineup is also out tomorrow, and there's been rumours of Aphex Twin. Could he perhaps be playing both?

[Dave85radiohead]

That would be brilliant. I wonder if he would headline the main stage or play the late night slot with a smaller headliner that day.

I feel like he's big enough to headline, and the tent might be a bit too small for him. Would be awesome wherever he play though.

Hope we get the announcement tomorrow but previous years tickets went off sale during announcement time and they're still on sale now. 

I wonder if tomorrow is just announcing an announcement. If so they are really dragging this out

'Lineup transmission news incoming tomorrow'. Sounds like an announcement of an announcement of an announcement to me

Better than a poke in the eye I suppose. Means I can cool off their social media for a while

I can't see that tweet now. I think they might have deleted it. No idea what's going on

Maybe they need to announce the tweet first

Ye I saw it before thanks but when I go to the bluedot twitter page or Facebook page via the app they have taken down the post from earlier.

I can only find evidence of it through other users replies

Spring 2020?!

Maybe just headliners today. Maybe nothing?

What??? Surely that's a major cock up. First artists not announced for another 6 weeks plus?

It's been like that for ages. I think we'll have something before then 

[the wonderwhy]

The first announcement is next week, I believe 

[moz4pm]

when there's so much competition on the festival market as well as people's summer holidays I don't understand why they leave it so late for an announcement.

Ah, has it? Apologies then. 

[the wonderwhy]

Just confirmed as next week on twitter

Aye, that was me asking them. 

[Dave85radiohead]

I love Bluedot but the communication is awful and has been since the start. The shambles of the Left field Apple thingy and the announcement of the cashless system less than a month before the festival are just two which spring to mind.

They could have just said announcement next week without announcing special news for today. They must be very confident in their lineup leaving it this late.

[Dave85radiohead]

Also the fact that they announce it as four day festival without pointing out that the fourth day costs extra 

[the wonderwhy]

Feel like I should download their app just to shut them up at this point 

[Dave85radiohead]

Bluedot tickets on sale through Ticketmaster tomorrow at 10am.

Have they used Ticketmaster before? We've always bought directly from the website so hadn't noticed. Maybe Ticketmaster will give us the lineup first 

[the wonderwhy]

They're usually sold through ticketline 

In fact its still ticketline that they're using
