Open'er festival 2017

[gregory]

Did anyone get a screen shot of the tweet? I have notifications on for Open'er so it was on my lock screen when I woke up, but when I tried to open it it had already been deleted. Pretty sure it said 'something', but maybe it was all a dream....

He did a collab with James Blake that's probably why they liked it.

Something's go on... looks like they're filming a promo.

Let's hope this actually leads to something... any clues/ideas?

Yeah probably just that unfortunately. Hope they do turn up though, they were good last time!

[gregory]

They're making stuff again. Looks expensive.

This is the final line up for Orange Warsaw. It's come four weeks before the festival so expect the Open'er full line up to come at the beginning of June...

M.I.A's official website is listing her at Open'er. Decent booking if true.

Good spot! Hopefully that means announcement ASAP. And I'm still hoping for the 'big news' I 95% didn't dream about.

Yeah, hopefully. Looks like she's playing the Thursday so I'd assume either main stage or high up the Tent which currently has Charli XCX and Jimmy Eat World.

Now we're talking, good spot!

[gregory]

Confirmed.

A really good announcement but I want more names. There's only 47 days to go!

Only 41 bands announced so far, that's less than half, right?

Going by last year's line up on the website there was 105 acts, so yeah.

They are definitely working on a big ad campaign / announcement right now, hopefully it'll drop next week. Maybe they'll do the full lineup at once, but I hope not.

Here's the daysplits including the Polish acts, which was not known until now, in case anyone's interested

Friday and Saturday are looking very empty. Saturday is so weak!

Yes, Saturday is very poor. I hope that next week they will announce a co-headliner. To be honest, all the days are weak and empty. We were sold a lie with Radiohead and Foo Fighters. Less than 10 acts I want to see right now.

She was playing Main Stage back in 2011 so I guess she will play Main Stage this year as well (by the way, that was the weakest performance I've ever seen at Open'er, so I'm completely disappointed with this announcement).

I read a few people say that about 2011 on the facebook post.

So, with the festival next month, this is the sum of non-Polish acts we've got;

• Radiohead    
• Foo Fighters    
• The Weeknd    
• The xx
• James Blake  
• The Kills  
• Prophets Of Rage    
• Royal Blood  
• Solange
• Jimmy Eat World
• Warpaint    
• Michael Kiwanuka  
• Nicholas Jaar
• M.I.A.

Then there's quite a drop in quality IMO (though I'm interested to see a couple) to;

• Dua Lipa
• Charli XCX
• JMSN    
• Kevin Morby
• George Ezra
• Kiasmos (Live) 
• Rae Sremmurd  
• G Eazy  
• Mac Miller

They just deleted the M.I.A announcement from facebook and their website

Weird... The only thing I can think of is that they're gonna make a bigger announcement with her in it?
