AAlex Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) Very happy they're pulling out acts of Biffys pedigree at this late stage! Couple of other bands I'll go to see as well, was expecting a few more names/day splits though but this will tide me over for a while Edited April 24, 2017 by alexlloyd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregory Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) J&MC headlined Bilbao BBK 2 years ago. Biffy played last year (!), I'm happy they're back! Happy with this announcement overall, Biffy, Temples, Honne are the kind of acts I've been after all along.

hamishrankin Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Wow, was not expecting Biffy to be announced again. I remember last year they said they loved it and they couldn't believe it was their first year there. I thought that was general festival chat to please crowds...obviously not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andytommo Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Brilliant - I have seen both Temples & the Mary Chain on their respective UK tours this month, and both were brilliant, so I'm well chuffed with today's announcements. Not a massive Biffy or Y&Y fan, but plenty of people are, so this is good news for the festival overall. Decent under-card additions as well, with the likes of La Casa Azul, Dream Wife, Joe C. It's looking stronger and stronger, so roll on July!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it's coming soon then they won't have much time to sell these day tickets otherwise! I'm really happy with the line up, there's at leats 20 acts I'll want to see, and with this not being the final announcement there's still time for optimism on future additions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, there's also over 20 acts that I really want to see, and that's with a third/quarter still TBA. The big problem for me this year is there's going to be a number of serious clashes, I'd imagine, but that's the sign of a strong line-up. They've well and truly delivered this year, albeit we've had to wait a bit to get here, but then it is the same very year with FIB....they never let you down!!!

Yeah the friends im going with have been twice each but it'll be my first time. Quite surprised with how happy I am with it really, for me personally I'd have been underwhelmed with last years headliners/special guest. I didnt realise there was so much still to come! If they want to give the day tickets two months to sell it'll have to be announced in the next couple of weeks, and surely they won't expect day tickets to sell well if it's less than that.

Jcs1990 Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Mary chain and temples are a brilliant addition! Can't say I'm a fan of the rest added but July can't come soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scanerack Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 What is the chances of some DJ's been added, will this be made on the final line up? Would like to see Pan Pot, Errol Alken, Maya Jane Coles, Daniel Avery...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamishrankin Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Biffy got an hour last year for their set, do we think it'll be the same this year? It does look like they are not a headliner again so I imagine it wouldn't be the usual 90 minute slot that most headliners get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
