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

they're not one of the best. They don't accept fair comment as reasonable, they only expect positive things to be said, which is as sad as it is stupid.

I could list the press teams I really dislike and why but thats unfair. Had nothing but good dealings with them. They are very enthusiastic and protective of Boomtown, so they should be.

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! 

Small stages were ridiculous - especially the Quarry. I think they're going to have to make it bigger if not an outdoor tent. I know of 2 bands whos set had to be cut short because people were getting crushed. DJ Fresh only played about 3 songs and he was the headline act on the first night.

Any idea on the capacity this year, is it going up?

Do we expect an announcement Monday along with Truck or before/ after that ?

Would make sense, they announced on Monday the 8th last year but then Truck was on the Thursday before, so really could be any time. Likely to be some point next week though,

[BeddingatReading]

Announcement 7pm on Tuesday.

[The Other Steve]

Do we think the lineup will be mainly KC crossover headliners or with YNot having a new management company do you think they will be more exclusive?

[jonnyf]

The Libertines are at Tramlines the week before Y Not they could a headliner in tomorrows announcement.

[efcfanwirral]

if it's libertines and stereophonics i could be tempted!! missed kendal because i couldnt get a group together quick enough. 

[jamestudor97]

I reckon Courteeners are in with a shout this year? I mean yeah they released their new album in October but with the OT gig in May and rumoured for Glastonbury I reckon it's possible as they'll be on the festival circuit this year again? 

[Pigeon Detective]

So tonight's the night. My prediction is

 

The Libertines/Slaves

Stereophonics/Maximo Park

Pet Shop Boys/Blossoms

Slaves + Nothing But Thieves also. The Vaccines are headliners, not Clean Bandit; they're on the second tier

I really really hope Clean bandit is a sick joke.

[joepeace09]

Libertines will be one of the headliners Surely, if Truck have pulled it off.
