Pete Tong will be great. Let's hope the undercard is great as well. Hopefully I won't be left disappointed, but you can't complain for a £45 weekend.

This is in May isn't it? I wonder if Leftfield might headline given they're touring the week before and are at Camp Besti. 

It'll be in the Metro at midnight again I guess anyway.

I had a look in the charts thinking it would be someone more poppy and recent and decided upon Clean Bandit or The Chainsmokers

Bit of a comedown from Duran Duran and Primal Scream from last year, doing truck and Glasto this year so may just listen to this in back garden even though tickets are great value for money

[jonnyx]

What have they done? 

This is like a completely different festival to last year. 

It seemed a much better mix of bands, and dance acts. 

Now itsmostly dance acts.

Lineup as a whole is quite disappointing some pros but most of the acts I have seen or am seeing later in the year. Some would be fun to see such as Pete Tong and Sean Paul but this year is the worst so far since the first in 2015.

I think I'm the only one pleased with this line up.

My Nu Leng, Groove Armada, British Sea Power all on the same day has me very tempted for a Sunday day ticket.

Thing that puts me off is that most of the acts here are elsewhere, and are at festivals I have already booked tickets too. You can catch an act like My Nu Leng anywhere. It's a shame Groove Armada only have a DJ set, their live set was fantastic when I saw them some years back.

Sean Paul is past his time anyway, and a couple friends of mine who went to Bestival last year said he wasn't too great.

It's a shame really, Common People has so much potential.

Also, very weird seeing a Foals DJ set on the Oxford lineup...

[seanz25]

With all due respect to Rob and his team, for the £20 or so extra, Victorious doesn't have a near complete line-up and it's already way better than this, seems a complete clusterfuck of genres.

[Mattymooz]

I'm tempted to go just for Becky Hill, but at this point it would just be for Becky Hill :L

[mrlibertinedream]

Absolutely shocking line up.....it just makes no sense to me!! A lot of my "Facebook pals" are raving about Sean Paul.....it's safe to say they've now been deleted

Sean Paul is a joke. Heard he was quite rubbish at Bestival last year. Just puts me off in general really, not the sort of music I'd listen to (out of choice).

[mrlibertinedream]

Well that was sh*t
