Pendulum are a very bad band.

According to the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-14475171

Yeah that makes less sense 

The tent was huge in 2011 and 2012, definitely smaller since 2013.

You're quite right - I hadn't even noticed that. Shows how much attention I'm paying whilst stumbling around in a cider haze 

2012

2017

If the KOL day wasn't so sparse for me I'd be seriously considering this now

Nice to see a photo of 2012 before the site turned brown!

2013 was when they added a couple of stages and made the arena bigger so I imagine there was less need for such a big NME Stage.

Why do they have to clash Kendrick, Pendulum and Papa Roach. Sad

Yeah clashing Pendulum, Papa Roach and Kate Nash for me, guess i'll be watching Papa Roach!

I know most of you don't rate Courteeners but choosing between them and Slaves/Don Broco is tough

Sorry; It should be Slaves I reckon and even then you may be able to catch some of Teeners I think

Sorry if this has already been answered many times... hard to keep up with 550+ pages!

Obviously Foo Fighters were ‘strongly rumoured’ before to headline, is it still looking that way given recent announcements?

[Takyon]

Some decent acts announced but not enough to make me consider a weekend ticket. As much as I want to do the Leeds Sunday that undercard is still very weak and I can't justify spending ~£80 just to see Brockhampton and Kendrick. Pendulum clashing with Kendrick is disappointing as they seem like they'd be fun live.

Is this the weakest 1Extra stage in recent years? Very underwhelming.

Nah the chances of them headlining ended when all the headliners were announced last week.

Tbf that's probably the cheapest you'll ever pay for Kendrick, be it at his own gig or a festival.

Yeah I guess that's true, unless he falls off unlikely as that may be. I might crack as it gets closer to the date. Getting my friends to come with me would be the problem. 

I wish he would've done a date in Leeds on the Damn tour, I live about a 25 minute walk away from the arena.

Already contradicting my original post but he's playing Summer Sessions in Glasgow for slightly cheaper, although if you live in Leeds then I guess the festival would be far more convenient.

The front bottoms tho 

[williamxturner]

Is the clashfinder accurate at all, like where bands are playing and where gaps are on the lineup? Or just speculation?

Day tickets for Leeds are actually only £69.50 so Glasgow is only £4 cheaper. I honestly thought they were pricier although I assume there will be booking and delivery fees not to mention the shuttle bus from Leeds to the festival itself to drive the price up.

No, it's just got the bands in order and not-entirely-educated guesses as to where there might be gaps.

[Dukey]

Sorry if mentioned already, but on the stage splits on the website, Post is written as 5th down so looks likely that's where he will play.

There's actually quite a bit I'd want to see now. 

[mttJ]

Actually beginning to get hopeful of them adding Royal Blood next to Kings of Leon now.

Ffs why? Surely after that announcement there's no hope left that they're getting added.

Well Travis Scott isn't mentioned anywhere as being a co-headliner yet his font size (I know...) is bigger than Courteeners who should technically be playing the same sub-headliner slot? Therefore two big font acts (still aware) for each day, leaving one left for the Sunday.
