He's not, already performing Primavera Sound.

Chance just canceled four Euro festivals in August, so don't count on him announcing other ones soon.

He's still doing his July dates though and he's in London on the Friday. I doubt it, but it's possible.

I know, but announcing it following the cancellations would be strange, to say the least.

Chance is big right now and has so many shows booked at the moment, I can't imagine him being announced so close to the festival.

What about any of:

The Kills

Ride

Manics

Flaming Lips

think that they all fit in terms of their bookings and where they are?

[gregory]

Ride, Manics & Flaming Lips all already playing Spanish festivals around BBK time, so unlikely. Kills is possible. 

[LiamMcMillen]

My final prediction is The Kooks, London Grammar, Glass Animals, The Kills, Imagine Dragons, Peaches and The Cult. 

[gregory]

No hint of an announcement so far today, they're not very good with communicating. 

I'll go with Editors, The Kills, Cold War Kids, Local Natives, MØ, Future Islands.

They said the announcement was in 24 hours in the comments of their last Facebook post. I'd assume it'll be at 11.

They say a lot of things like that, haha. Actually that comment kind of said there are 24 hours in a day, not it will come in 24 hours, if I understood correctly. We'll know soon enough, really hope it is today.

I'll add one of Haim, Paramore, Empire Of The Sun as a few random Saturday co-headliner guesses.

Yeah, very true. What is it about European festivals and bad social media? I'd love Haim!

[gregory]

As I predicted, excuses coming now, haha

Haha this is ridiculous

[gregory]

Wake up @LiamMcMillen, they've just said 'today' on twitter, though they've said that before. Fingers crossed.

Yeah I'll believe it when I see it... 

[gregory]

Monday it is (motherf*ckers).

"os aseguramos que merecerá la pena la espera" ...it better be. 

 

[LiamMcMillen]

I just don't get it. They must have booked the acts, so what's the hold up? Jeez, it better be good...

Is that this coming Monday or just a general unspecified Monday between now and then?

I recall what seemed like a similarly drawn out wait for the Saturday headliners the first year I went and then we ended up with Garbage and Keane.  Not setting my hopes too high for the remainder of acts to be announced!

Yep - we went in 2012 and was really full of optimism with The Cure and Radiohead announced and then it was a case of......'what the....?!?' it was as random a combination as it was bad.

Trying to be optimistic this time around and hoping they have a decent act who has embargoed the announcement until they are ready.

Confirmed by the festival itself.

[gregory]

Another way to look at the same thing

What do we think? I count 6 less bands than last year, and the poster is 'closed'. Just 5 non-Spanish bands added today in the end.

Edited May 6, 2017 by gregory

[LiamMcMillen]

I think this a really decent line up. I count 8 bands I want to see on the 6th, 7 I want to see one the 7th and 8 I want to see on the 8th. That's good enough for me. BBK have a knack of booking bands you'd want to see in the sun with a pint. 

[GreyHawk]

Having done NOS Alive! the last couple of years, giving this a go this year. Plenty I want to see already over the three days and I am sure a few more to be added when reading up on some the acts I may not know.

I'm happy too, but nothing I like in this announcement apart from Trentmoller. Going to be running from stage to stage on Thurs/Fri!

I've always wanted to see Primal Scream and I love !!! And I think Saint Motel will be fun in the sun. Not a massive fan of Trentmoller. What would you recommend? 

[gregory]

I plan to try see; (those in bold especially)

(Thurs 6)	(Fri 7)	(Sat 8th)
Depeche Mode	The Killers	Two Door Cinema Club
Justice	Phoenix	Brian Wilson
The 1975	Fleet Foxes	The Lemon Twigs
Spoon	Royal Blood	!!!
The Avalanches	Explosions in Sky	Blonde Readhead
Circa Waves	Trentemøller	The Orwells
Austra	Sundara Karma	Saint Motel
Cage The Elephant	Jessy Lanza
	Joe Goddard
	The Amazons

Not too bad is it. That is basically every non-Spanish act though so
