On a completely unrelated note, do the NME and main headliners finish at the same time or is main on for longer?

NME goes on another 30 mins ish

4 Shikari sets at each site??

Poster seems to suggest so.

We're getting day splits for main and R1 but not the rest.

Depends, they throw the times about all the time, sometimes the NME finishes after, sometimes before.

Point of consideration, Catfish's tour goes on general sale Friday, would they really do a festival announcement the day before?

Are we getting an old style poster or is the new coachella looking one here to stay?

Could The 1975 sub be a hip hop act then? Obviously not a set in stone rule, but last year there were 2 hip hop acts in the top 5 main stage each day, so if The Wombats and You Me at Six are 3rd and 4th then I reckon the sub and 5th will be hip hop acts. Maybe Cardi B?

Probs talking out my arse tbh.

[MIchael_scarn]

Any decently big rap acts you know about Dan?

This is a good point, however its an extension to the current tour that sold out very quickly and its mainly kind of off the tracks places, I reckon its alright but would definitely detract. I don’t think dan would count them as the band that could be a headliner, not sure though.

Skepta would work imo. Brockhampton > YM@6 > Wombats > Skepta > 1975 would be quite a good run in.

Edit: Nevermind

Can you upload the poster? Or have you seen it by walking past the FR office windows every 2 minutes?

[Guest]

Certainly sounds like it’ll be more band orientated again then, given the acts that Dan has suggested.

[TKOCF]

Oh god the 1975 sub isn’t Imagine Dragons is it?

Yes to the return of the vertical poster by the way.
