I guess they are more meaningful to Polish festigoes, having said that, most these acts have 5000 like on FB, if that's any indication of their size...

& At this rate, by the end of the week there'll be more Polish acts announced than international...

[LiamMcMillen]

So I assume we've all seen the Glasto line up. Could any of those acts be up there with the xx? I can see The National and Biffy potentially. Or has that ship passed?

The only one "new" band on Glasto lineup is The National, but i cant see them in Poland. Both The Avalanches and Haim cancelled their gigs last august, so I expect them to play in Poland this year, time will tell, when and where. As far as Biffy is concerned, there's a possibility.

According to one of the biggest Polish music newspapers (Teraz Rock) Jack White will play at this year's Open'er. I guess it's either a mistake or a stupid prank because of April 1st.

Wow that would be great. Have you got a picture/screen shot?

1 - no european dates for Jack White so far

2 - last time he played Open'er he was headlining, this year all headliners spots already been taken

3 - April Fools Day

Is it a weekly paper? Because it's March 30th today, not April 1st

It's a monthly magazine.

Kind of weird/dumb to put an April Fools day joke in a month long magazine.

But, everything @pete76 said is true.

[LiamMcMillen]

Brodka just announced for the Tent Stage. I'd recommend having a listen, she's pretty good. 

[LiamMcMillen]

The final lineup for Roskilde has been announced, sharing 3/4 of Open'er headliners. Hopefully we can share some of the mid-card acts too. I'd love to see ATCQ, Jesus and Mary Chain, Erasure and Father John Misty. Either way, I hope it's a sign that something is coming soon...

This is all true. Jack White has just released a surprise single however...

...which is, unfortunately, only connected with the promotion of the new product of his company – Warstic.

The same old story...

[gregory]

Almost 5 weeks since they announced a non-Polish act, line-up is still 60%+ empty. 

[LiamMcMillen]

It's all getting a bit boring, isn't it? Anyone got any predictions? I've got a feeling Pond might be there. Their tour dates line up with them being in Holland four days before, and Tame Impala playing it last year. Would be a good booking on The xx day for me. Also just realised Alt-J are pretty much ruled out with them booked elsewhere on the 28th, 30th and 1st.

Alt-J are headlining Krakow Live Festival in August so they are definitely ruled out (so are Lana Del Rey and Ellie Goulding).

Think you might be confused about Pond @LiamMcMillen, as far as I can tell their tour ends June 21st in Bristol. 

I'd like Soulwax, Whitney, Future Islands, Agnes Obel (all at RW) Father John Misty, ATCQ, Hamilton Leithauser (at Roskilde), Aanderson .Paak and the Free Nationals, Biffy Clyro, Metronomy, Sampha, Wild Beasts, Lemon Twigs (at Glastonbury). Think they're mostly at least feasible...
