Truck normally has one bigger headliner, I know one of theirs for this year is pretty big so I don't think Manics are too small for Y Not by any stretch especially considering Editors headlined last year.

Wait you know one of the Truck headliners...? Who is it?

[JBarbour]

Worth the wait! 

[joepeace09]

Any ideas on annoucment dates?  May have set my hopes to high with The Libertines?

If it's the same name I know they are an 'arena' band

Have they been announced anywhere else?

Been embargoed on a number of festivals this evening.

Yes

That could be anyone to be honest, I'm guessing it'll be a couple from Stereophonics, The Libertines, Editors, Madness, Frank Turner, Frank Ferdinand, Primal Scream and Jake Bugg.

What day is the announcement due to be made?  

[VinylDelusion]

If it was Elbow, Libertines and Manics then I'd be completely over the moon

[joepeace09]

Ambitious but my guess is : Stereophonics, Chemical Brothers and The Libertines.

With Slaves, Jake Bugg and Maximo Park somewhere on the lineup.

[Wagon]

Please anyone other than Elbow & Jake Bugg!!

Two of the most mind numbingly boring acts I have ever seen!!

If it comes from an official source and it's been embargoed down the line. It could get tracked back to the person/publication, they will start loosing their press contacts pretty quickly. There is always a reason for line ups getting announced at certain times such as certain bands/management/record companies holding things up. 

Not long to wait though.

I think you and most of their social followers! They getting a bit of abuse for not releasing line up. Yet still a good few small / medium festivals still to make their first announcement. 

Tickets will still be available when line up gets released by the looks of it. But it's good that people can get them slightly cheaper if they going for the full festival not just a few bands.

Completely agree!

[oneoftherest]

Won't be Royal Blood.

Personally i think It'll be The Vaccines, Manic Street Preachers & Elbow

Without trying to sound naive I'm taking anything anyone says they "know" on here with a pinch of salt because I could easily claim to know who the headliners are and give a vague idea that they're arena sized. All of the headliners last year were, it's hardly going to get smaller is it.

There is a big difference between knowing and having press embargoed info though. Not saying everyone that claims to know has that, but there is info knocking about at the moment.

yup. 

I won't ever consider leaking anything of an embargo'd release, but despite pleas from Boomtown I've used some of the leaked poster of theirs on boomtown line-up page.

(they're probably now mighty pissed off with me, but I could have been properly mean and used it all).

They should of sent out the embargo'd email to you! ha 

But I do like the Boomtown press team, one of the best. Wouldn't dream of pissing them off 

Anyway back on topic I hope Y Not sort out the smaller stages this year. Way too crowded. Need bigger tents, failing that a second "outdoor" stage. Interesting to see if Global/Broadwich make changes or keep the setup. Hope the beer tent stays!
