Open'er website says Main Stage for Solange. 

Weird, it does now. When I checked ten minutes ago it said Tent Stage.

According to the Polish version of the website, Solange is playing Tent Stage

Wednesday, Main Stage:
James Blake
Radiohead
Solange
Royal Blood

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

How about Royal Blood after Radiohead?

Would definitely take that. There's something not right about Blake after Radiohead.

Royal Blood playing at night in an open air main stage. Don't think that's happened before? Would be crazy great

That would be fun, but last year the late acts were Tame Impala, M83, Sigur Ros and Kygo, and I think JB is closest to them. But who knows.

Main stage is almost full now, 1 act on Thurs and 2 acts on Saturday to come I guess. Not sure which stage Ezra is on yet, he might free up a slot if he's in a tent.

I know you've been doing your research and I'm quite lazy, if you don't mind, could you post the tentative Main Stage schedule for all four days, so far?  Thanks buddy

I'm holding out for some really decent Alter and Tent artists. Last year they had the likes of Mac Demarco, Grimes, Savages and PJ Harvey.

Wow, how efficient! Cheers. Yeap, there's still plenty of space for more decent acts definitely.

Great booking :)

I agree, great album last year, and it looks like she plays live with a 9 piece band, hopefully she brings them to Poland.

Solange just changed back to The Tent Stage.

This is the weekend before Open'er, in Canada

Good to see QOTSA will be on the road, could they play above The xx? [dreams] I'd also take Iggy, RBF and ATDI.

QOTSA, Iggy Pop, Eagles of Death Metal.. Josh Homme galore! Mate, I am salivating at the prospect of QOTSA on Saturday!

[gregory]

I think it's very unlikely, but not impossible, & until yesterday QOTSA's live comeback started in August, and as of now it starts a week before Open'er. I'll enjoy the new album if nothing else..

Tons of bands just announced for Down The Rabbit Hole, a festival in Holland a few days before Open'er

FJM played in 2015, is it too soon for him to return? Not too fussed about the rest.

I would love to see QOTSA and Iggy Pop on Open'er, but honestly, I think it's almost impossible. There is this small version of poster where all headliners are included, and I think that both QOTSA and Iggy would get a headliner status. I just can't immagine Iggy or Josh playing after or before The XX or The Weeknd :D. St Paul and Broken Bones just announced at Colours of Ostrawa, I hope that Open'er will get them as well.

It would be amazing and I think there is a chance. They did it in 2013 and headlined and if anything they probably have gotten smaller since then. Open'er are known to go big at times. Even looking at last year where Sigur Ros and LCD co-headlined. And in a really strange way I think I thought could work as a co-headline.

Biffy Clyro haven't played Open'er before/in a while, right? Would be a good add.

Subbing Foo Fighters would be lovely.

I'd take that. Looking forward to the FF live-stream tonight from Frome, wonder if they'll play any new stuff...

I think they'll be playing a hit packed set with a few rarities thrown in for good measure and special occasion playing a very small show like when they did the holy shits small gigs. I have a half day today and I am meant to be watching Sum 41 today however I live an hour away from Frome so I am tempted to go down their instead. Only issue is that the Sum 41 gig was a Christmas present so a difficult one to get out of.

[gregory]

You're seeing Foo's 4 (?) times this summer, so enjoy your Christmas present I say  Doesn't sound like anyone without a ticket is getting anywhere near tonight anyway. 

(To get slightly back on topic), I wonder how long they'll get at Open'er, 2 hour set?

Cigarettes After Sex, Glass Animals, Passenger and Charlie XCX all just announced for Rock Werchter. I would love all of them at Open'er!
