Open'er festival 2017

[gregory]

Brian Wilson is in Denmark Jun 29 and Spain the week after.

[Lateralus]

Does Open'er usually not announce most of its line-up until late? Getting sick of seeing other festivals reveal their nearly-full lineup but still only 17 acts over 4 days here...

It's usually fairly staggered. Should be a big announcement in the next week or so I'd imagine. 

[gregory]

Yeah, I've got a feeling this week will bring news, a lot of other festivals are announcing this week

[gregory]

Announcement today at 12:00, I knew it

Red Hot Chair-ly Peppers?

Their Instagram is showing a Boomerang image of a chair moving back and forth. Any idea what this clue means? Actually I never figured all of their previous so-called clues or hints. 

 

[DDave]

Solange, surely?

[gregory]

Why Solange? 

Don't sit down 'cause i've moved your chair...

Cos 'A Seat at the Table' eh? Hmm I'm not too buzzed if that's it.

Now Arctic Monkeys would be quite unlikely eh hehe

Highly unlikely. So I'll stick with Red Hot Chair-ly Peppers. Solange is a good shout, she's at Roskilde same weekend

I know, was just making a joke with a terrible pun.

Soulwaz/2manyDJs would make me happy if added today. Who's everyone else hoping for?

It was a terrible pun tbh mate! Haha. Actually my hopes for some act that I really like to play Open'er have somewhat diminished with the rather lacklustre previous announcements. Royal Blood was the only one that made me excited. 

[gregory]

I agree, last announcement that excited me was Prophets of Rage. Frank Ocean / ATCQ would be good announcements, would be decent co-headliners with The xx, if there is a co-headliner to come. If today's announcement is something like Lorde, Rag’n’Bone Man, Imagine Dragons, Lumineers I'll be very sad.

[LiamMcMillen]

I wouldn't take any notice of the 'clues', they haven't been any indication for other announcements. I'm just hoping for the festival to look more rounded and I'd definitely like a poster! In terms of artists I'd like anyone from Whitney, Frank Ocean, Blossoms, The Lemon Twigs, ATCQ and Kraftwerk

It is weird there isn't a poster still. Whitney is a good shout.

We're expecting more than 1 act today, right? I really like how they made the last announcement, thought it was excellent, seeing each act visually announced 1 by 1 rather than just posting a list.

I assume they'll be a bunch of names. Looking forward to it!

[mln]

Imagine Dragons are playing Orange Warsaw Festival, so dont' worry, it won't be them I hope for Jamiroquai, Bejamin Clementine, ATQC, Soulwax, and St. Paul and the Broken Bones.

[gregory]

Solange 

[LiamMcMillen]

I like Solange but was there any reason to give her forewarning? Just announce her. Weird and a little disappointing. 

[LiamMcMillen]

Tent Stage on the Wednesday too by the way. 

[gregory]

Wednesday, Main Stage:
James Blake
Radiohead
Solange
Royal Blood

(guessing the order, but that's a pretty strong first day)

Solange is in the tent and you think James Blake will be after Radiohead? I'd have said he'd be on before. 

[gregory]

Open'er website says Main Stage for Solange. There are usually 4 acts on the Main Stage each day, with one act after the headliner, so I guess that'd be JB.
