I think they've deleted the post but kept the picture? She's definitely not on the website anymore.

Yeah I think they've hid the post from their page but not deleted it, as it comes up when you search Open'er on Facebook. Weird. 

Anyway, like you said, means they're probably saving her for a bigger announcement, hopefully (early) next week. 

[neacaisa]

It's really stupid to save an annuncement when it was leaked all over. I see no point in this.

[gregory]

This is going to be a big week for Open'er (he hopes).

Seriously though, everything points to a (hopefully big) announcement this week. Fingers crossed. 

[LiamMcMillen]

I'm expecting the same. And I'm hoping it'll be as early as today...

it's a little worrying that 6 weeks before the festival, when they announce a 'stage', they can only announce 7/12 acts on 3/4 days. Why not just announce the whole thing? 

[gregory]

Think this is theater stuff? The post was is in Polish;

 

[gregory]

Meanwhile, they updated the website and finally gave all the Polish acts stages and (sadly for me at least) they have filled a lot of the Main and Tent Stage slots   7/14 acts on Alter are Polish, 7/9 on Tent.

They still don't know where to put XCX, Ezra and Dua Lipa. Guess it depends on whether they can get bigger acts to play the mainstage than them.

I really hope Kevin Morby and The xx don't clash. They're the only two acts I want to see on the Saturday.

Happy with Daniel Avery being added. Agree that it's a bit weak overall but hopefully I'll get a couple more acts that really interest me

Maybe they're reading our frustrations about the lack of announcements so they're just going to announce everyone twice now

[gregory]

+ Trentemøller

Tent stage on Thurs looks something like:

Trentemøller

M.I.A.

Jimmy Eat World

Charli XCX

(....unless they put Charli XCX on Main / Alter)

Are they announcing today in instalments or is it just coincidence that they've done MIA and him on the same day?

They've been at 11.35 and 12.35 (ish) so far today. Fingers crossed another is imminent 

[gregory]

I just got a notification saying they posted to instagram but the post was instantly deleted. Same kinda time as yesterday, hopefully a couple more bands too come today  

[LiamMcMillen]

[gregory]

Fashion shoot? Lol. I give up. 

[LiamMcMillen]

A Tribe Called Quest have cancelled their show at Roskilde so I assume they're out of the running for Open'er. They've been replaced by Ice Cube, however...

[mln]

Benjamin Booker was added to the list on the Open'er event on last.fm (https://www.last.fm/pl/festival/4258590+Open'er+Festival+2017), but I don't know where and when was he announced.

[Purpleyoda]

He should bring Jack White with him.

(Wishfull thinking )

So basicly, How many slots are still open for big names? (If we will ever get any)

I'm a bit lost with this half baked line up.

Main and Tent stages are full on Wed & Fri. The other 2 days are a little confusing as 3 acts haven't been placed on stages yet. But between the 2 stages I count about 5 slots open. + hopefully some decent stuff for Alter, as it's only JMSN and Kevin Morby + a few local in there so far. 

[Purpleyoda]

Thank you for that.

First time at this festival.

Are there a lot of clashes between the main and tent stages times, Or do they run them "off sync" so people have a better chance on seeing both\most acts as there are really not that many, if you compare to Reading\Leeds etc.

I wish they would move kiwanuka to the main stage. He deserves better than a mid day spot at the smaller stage.
