I reckon we could see Clean Bandit sub Alt-J maybe? Would suit well for certain.

I think they played a couple of years ago in the same slot so I'd be surprised if they are booked again. A few of speculative suggestions for who else might play and their positions:

• George Ezra (sub for Alt J)
• Cabbage (low on Land of Saints)
• Nothing but Thieves (headlining/subbing Land of Saints)
• Editors (sub for Alt J) 
• The Hunna (mid-main)
• Sundara Karma (mid-main)
• The Night Cafe (low-main)
• Tom Odell (sub for Alt J)
• Feeder (headlining Land of Saints)
• Lower than Atlantis (headlining Land of Saints)

Some strong acts there for sure.. only main sub I could see subbing is George Ezra tbh, consideringbit seems we've already got Slaves and Jake Bugg as subs, I wouldn't be surprised if they chucked in an electronic/dance sub for Alt-J...

Rag'n'Bone Man could be booked again after coming here a couple times already, dont know if they'd risk putting him 3rd down on the main considering his popularity, but I don't think he's worthy of being a sub until sometime next year.

Circa Waves are around this year, with no dates for Boardmasters weekend, I reckon we could see them headlining the Land of Saints, with Wild Beasts just behind them.

Also, what you think about Jamie T being a potential sub for Alt-J?

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if it is a dance sub for Alt J. I'm not really big into that genre so it's hard for me to suggest who that might be. Circa Waves look to be around the UK during BM so very possible. They would suit headlining Land of Saints well. Jamie T into Alt J would be very strong. If they pulled that off I would be buzzing and looks possible.

Chance would be fantastic, would be hard for Boardmasters to pull off but he is in Europe this summer so never say never!

They are possibilities as well, the list could be endless. If Frank Turner plays it would have to be headlining Land of Saints as he plays at Boomtown on the 13th (where the last sub slot is).

Just a thought, are Slaves actually confirmed as subs for TDCC? I feel they could well be headlining Land of Saints, that would be the perfect slot for them.

It's not all set it in stone but that is how it appears to be. I'd love for them to perform in the LoS stage as well, makes room for another big name sub!

Havent spoke about Unleashed headliners yet.. you reckon they'll ask Craig David after he couldn't do it last year?

[jakecase]

Just got this email through! Bring on Tuesday morning!

I'd say Craig David is unlikely as it looks like he's in Ibiza most the summer so I doubt he'll be up for coming back just for BM but it's not impossible

Is the boardmasters announcement on any radio station?

Not that I'm aware of. Will be available at 7:20am on their social media sites!

[jakecase]

Here we go! Fantastic additions, best lineup yet, and there's still more to come!

[CRW5252]

Very happy with that announcement. Looks like Jake Bugg and Slaves aren't subbing after all! The Vaccines is a very strong sub considering they headlined a few years ago. Flaming lips is an interesting one and should be quality. Just giving their new album a listen now and it's sounding good. Stormzy was a curveball but a great one, I can see Sunday day tickets selling fast with him and Alt J. I've been meaning to catch Frank Turner for a while so good to see him there, I've heard he puts on a great performance. Ziggy Marley, Jagwar Ma and Kate Nash are all nice additions as well. Any ideas where Jake Bugg will be playing? I'd guess third down, I thought he might be too big to sub but now it looks like he's not even there! It shows what I know! 

[pryce]

damn this has just got tempting with Frank Turner and Flaming Lips

[johnl]

Blimey they've nailed this. Shame I'm so old!

Personally I think they just highlight the three to display the next big three acts. I think it's set that Slaves are headlining Land of Saints, with The Flaming Lips subbing TDCC on the Friday. It'd be weird to see Jake Bugg as low as third down on main stage? Maybe he could be headlining Land of Saints?

As for Sunday, there's a part of me which thinks Stormzy shouldn't really be subbing for Alt-J, the two don't go well together at all. Stormzy should be an Unleashed headliner in my opinion, but then again the tent would be very packed out, so throwing him on main stage is probably the better idea. Sunday still looks pretty dead. We can take from this that Ziggy Marley will be third down on main stage. Land of Saints headliner still to be announced for that day I reckon, and potentially another sub (if Stormzy is headlining Unleashed).

Yeah, that seems right. If Slaves headline LOS, then where does that leave Frank Turner? I hope he's not subbing LOS as that means he'll clash with TDCC. He'd work at 3rd down. I feel Jake Bugg would suit a main stage slot more but headlining LOS is possible. Maybe, with the line up looking stronger this year, 3rd on main will be seen as a higher rep slot. 

Agreed, they are a weird combo. I think it's a good shout suggesting Stomzy will headline unleashed. With a strong LOS headliner the tent won't be too packed hopefully. I feel Sunday has the potential to be a quality day. They haven't announced as many acts for Sunday for whatever reason but once it fills out I think it could be very strong.

Any ideas when the next announcement will be?

Presumably end of March, start of April.

My friends and I who are all quite sensible and not interested in drugs or any of that as we know what I can lead to are 16 and we're planning on going to boardmasters this year as like a final thing before we go to different schools after our GCES'S this summer. We would opt for the Thursday to Sunday ticket and my friends dad will be nearby. Do you think it is safe for us to go ? And is boardmasters a safe environment for a festival ? Were just there for the sun and music nothing else.
