Frank Ocean - London Exclusive on the Friday.

 

Any thoughts?

[DropBeat]

Awesome booking. Was fearing he'd do Wireless.

Going!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

They've big time stepped it up since the days when Azealia Banks and D'Angelo headlined, excellent 

[DropBeat]

Full line up...

[aidenlangan95]

Personally, Friday is stronger. Surprised solange has been put on the second stage tbh.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Yeah, how have they contrived to book the perfect sub for Frank, only to put her on the second stage That Friday is incredibly tempting but only if they'll promise it will be possible to do a run of Jamie XX > Solange > Frank without being stuck at the back for two of them, I don't mind Mac Miller but he didn't put out the most lovely album of 2016

Is Solange definitely on the 2nd stage?

How are you finding out who plays what stage?

Friday is amazing. They've managed to put all the acts on the line up I like on the one day.

And I think Mac's intentions were good and the record has its moments but he went about it the wrong way and made it pretty seedy and gross.

Someone posted a tweet saying the Friday running orders were

Main: Salen > RNB Man > Mac Miller > Jamie XX > Frank

West Stage: Charlotte Day Wilson > Rex Orange County > Ray BLK > Mick Jenkins > Kaytranada > Sampha > Solange

...and they replied saying "that is the running order but doesn't mean there will be clashes". Hopefully that's just a miscommunication though, if Main somehow went RNB Man > Sampha > Jamie XX > Solange > Frank Ocean that'd be the run of the summer

it looks even more badly balanced with the stage splits, I can't understand how the Saturday is so weak compared to the Friday? Madness

To be fair, last year was fairly unbalanced but the 'worse' day had LCD soundsystem headlining (so the good, oh my god they were so good headliner) and the 'stronger' day had Major Lazer headlining and they weren't great tbh.

He's been taken off the website's lineup and don't remember him being on the timeout link at all.

Well exactly, they did the sensible thing and booked a stronger headliner to top the day with the weaker undercard and vice versa. This year, unless you're somehow still desperate to see Jess Glynne play the same setlist she's been touring for approximately a millenium, everything is on the Friday. Obviously good news for punters but illogical for the organisers trying to shift Saturday and weekend tickets

Friday is so much stronger than Saturday, odd to have it that way round. Frank must have been quite costly.

Shame Solange is on the second stage, but all together looks like a very strong day. Definitely getting a ticket. 

[grumpykrogan]

Friday looks fantastic, very tempted by a day ticket. Does anyone know how fast tickets sell out for this festival?

On the info it says if your under 18 you have to be accompanied by someone who is 18+. Does anyone know if they actually stick to this?

Set times up. Only 80 minutes for Frank, yuck.

Yeah its about standard for him, same at parklife but he came out 20mins late then went 10 mins over curfew.

On a side note, whats the quickets way to get out of the festival and get to clapham?? 

[DropBeat]

Heading down to this today, looking forward to it.

Excited to see Kaytranada, and Jamie xx never disappoints. Might try and catch a bit of Solange too.

I've lowered my expectations for Frank, hope he's not a total let down.
