So here's what I'd like to see on the mainstage. I know it can probably be picked to pieces and half of it disproven but hey ho! A boy can dream!

THURS
Cabbage / Seasick Steve / Lorde / Imagine Dragons / Biffy Clyro /  KINGS OF LEON / ARCADE FIRE 

FRI
White Lies / Twenty One Pilots / Royal Blood / Oscar & The Wolf / James Blake / RADIOHEAD / The Prodigy

SAT
Frank Turner / Sum 41 / Jimmy Eat World / Blink 182 / System Of A Down / LINKIN PARK / Pendulum Live

SUN
Rag N Bone Man / Feeder / Foster The People / Dropkick Murphy's / Kasabian / The Killers / FOO FIGHTERS

This would mean that Alt-J, The Lumineers, Bonobo, Bazart, Future Islands and Agnes Obel would be playing tents. I'm not sure how realistic that is.

That would be the dream ... I hope all the negative/depressed people don't give out too much shit! !!

Also, did anyone get an 8 man army tent in the Hive Resort last year? Worth the money?

Has a tipi but enquired about one this year before booking tipi again. The tents have a large open space  and not individual compartments. From what I saw they looked decent enough and when you split the costs they're reasonable value

Lorde should definitely be in a tent. Biffy Clyro isn't that big here in Belgium. There's always a dance-act on Thursday, not on the other days so on your list either Pendulum (which I see more likely to play PKP) or The Prodigy after AF. I'd put Oscar & The Wolf as sub on your list and James Blake in a tent. Twenty One Pilots and White Lies should be higher up (White Lies possibily in a tent). Jimmy Eat World isn't bigger than Sum-41 in Belgium. I'd switch Foster The People and Dropkick Murpheys and the combi Kasabian - The Killers - FF's would be a dream indeed haha :P

Hahaha, yeah they are! On a UK tour at the moment, their new album is worth checking out. A few bangers! 

 

Surprised no UK fest has picked them up as there still doing there thing. Probably a good shout for Kendal calling (manics, stereophonic) or V fest.

Yeah, I reckon you could see them high up / headlining smaller UK Fests like Bingley, Kendal and The Great Escape etc

That Saturday would be the best lineup for a day ever.

Impressive line up so far - looking from the outside I can only be jealous. If The Killers get announced for the Sunday as well it is just insane.

Does anyone know what the budget for artist bookings is? I know Roskilde's is 60 million DKK (8 million euro) but that's covering 175 artists.

In a similar way to Glastonbury, roskilde is a different beast. Like Glastonbury the profits from roskikde all go to charity.

I expect the budget is a lot more at werchter, no specific figures though.

According to the programmer of the Mainsquare festival, Twenty one pilots won't be in Europe in July. It sucks.

How certain is this

That could make a Reading sub exclusive possible as I don't believe they are booked for anything over here at all yet.

You do know that happened last year .. why woukd it happen again?
