This. Main Stage alone will have Post, Juice Wrld, Yungblud and Lil Uzi Vert anyway (and Charli XCX as your stand out pop name). 

Seems weird to change up what they've been doing the last few years which has been successful but maybe not gone down as well with older attendees. Think just restructuring it so if you have a heavy headliner like Foos you make the main stage heavier with all the other stages focusing on offering something different works a lot better without having to change the types of acts they book. 

On a final note where abouts are the Amazons playing on that day?

I'm hoping for FEVER 333 of course myself BUT, if they aren't, we only have to wait 1 extra day before they announce their European tour (which I'm sure will feature U.K. Dates!) But either at Leeds Festival or back in First Direct and I'll be there. Or both ?

No Fever 333 but Story So Far on R1.

As someone who has been on this board for a long time. Dan has the info. He always pops up and his lineups look or sound crazy but they always turn out 100% true.

No they don't. In 2016 he gave us 3 different lineups, all of which were wildly wrong (including LCD Soundsystem, Kanye West and Guns n Roses). Last year he told us there were two main stages with Imagine Dragons and Royal Blood playing.

In the end he gave us the correct info the day before the announcement but he isn't always 100% correct.

Having said that, I now reckon he's telling the truth about tomorrow.

Foos, 1975, 21p, Post, Tame Impala (or Royal Blood) is actually 6 headline sized acts in one year. Pretty good going if you look at it that way

That's 5 mate.

Story So Far on R1.

Absolutely quality booking if that's the case, 3rd or 4th R1 on the co-headline day would be great going into the headliners.

Iron Maiden under The 1975 haha. That would be very strange imo. Either way, can you not just tell us?

I have it on pretty good authority that this was supposed to be a thing, then for whatever reason ended up not happening.

Tbh I wasn't trying to say he was lying or had bad info, but what he tells us definitely doesn't end up 100% happening.

Fair enough, I can't argue with that as I've not been around for previous info.

The Strokes and The Prodigy can be added to this list. Also Iron Maiden.

Can Biffy Clyro be added to this list as well?

[Mattymooz]

I dunno I'm buying it less and less. At this point why not just post the poster if hes giving away this many acts...

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

None of you bought it last year cos it was too shit and now you won't buy it cos it's too good ?

[MONTHEBIFF2013]

What about Tenacious D???

[Dan Wilcox]

2015 was the only troll job tbf. The 2 stage was meant to happen or was certainly being considered, but they couldn't work out the logistics of doing at Leeds specifically.

So are you trollling with the posts today/yesterday or nah 

[The All Round Ball :|]

I reckon the sub for the 1975 prediction that Dan has is not 100% confirmed otherwise he would just say surely? Why tell us the sub for Foos and all these other acts but keep the sub for The 1975 a secret? Makes no sense. If he 100% knew, he would say. 

 

Edit - Basically doesn't wanna say an act then turn out wrong tomorrow.

I think he confirmed yesterday it was a "tame" booking.

When though? He just said a band with 2 words and 10 letters. That could be anyone
