Blue Dot Festival

[LowFatIeuanaise]

Could we perhaps know the style of music of the headlining trio?

Intriguing, I an trying to rack my brains who that could be, great live, rarely perform, assume an electronic vibe as its bluedot? Hmmm, any clues? M83? Snapped Ankles? Portishead are too big...

They're not, they're just not active.

Morrissey?

Those in the know

would you say the supporting cards are strong? As I often find the headliners being good but supporting cast disappointing!

There's an act on there that I once suggested to the bluedot booker after seeing them at a fest where i thought they were great, and said something about them not appearing at many festivals.

No huge shakes, but I'm surprised they don't get booked by more festivals more often.

Gorillaz? Ooh or maybe Nils Frahm.

Well I’ve no bloody idea what this means! Here’s another name for the hat... how about sparks.

[Gilgamesh69]

I'm all for PSB subbing or headlining the tent, but if they're a main headliner that would be disappointing

Sounds plausible to me. I’d be well happy with them. Wanted to see them for ages. 

[dingbat2]

Pet Shop Boys are there arent they, i thought that was a given?

[Bill Clay]

Please say it’s Thom Yorke

Surely not big enough to headline?

I wouldn't have thought so to be honest but they're at least as big as mogwai and public service broadcasting so who knows. Depends how much blue dot have struggled i guess.It is their 20th year anniversary as a band

[LowFatIeuanaise]

Looking at previous dates they couldn't top the bill at smaller festivals. Would be a minnow of a headliner

I also doubt they'd be allowed to give headliner clues. Kendal didn't

They're already in Manchester in May 

[LowFatIeuanaise]

BSP also played Bluedot in 2016 and were fifth down on The Orbit stage

[shoptildrop]

I would have thought Pet shop boys, Doves and Suede but seems to have been ruled out on here.... mmmh

 

I would love Portishead and Sigur Ros but given nether are active don't think this wish will come true... 9am tomorrow it is!!

[shoptildrop]

what about Foals or Goldfrapp?? as both touring this year

[sadimmock]

I am relatively sure that Suede aren’t doing any shows this summer.  Coming Up album tour in the winter then new album drops for Christmas/early next year. 

[LowFatIeuanaise]

Sorry to piss on your chips a bit but Foals are doing Kendal which rules them out. Goldfrapp didn't headline when the last played so can't see that either
