Where have you seen the splits? I'd been waiting to find out what day IDLES were playing there but everything still seems unconfirmed.

If you mean Shambala, it's on Idles' artist info page on their website: 

"Our hometown heroes, and one of the most exciting bands in the world right now will be closing down The Shambala Stage on Friday night."

Set times are on the app and the clashfinder has been updated. There are a couple of noticeable gaps (Reading FR on Fri, Pit on Sun) that look like secret sets but no real rumours yet.

Doesn’t sound like IDLES can fit into either gap though 

Idles only played for 30mins at All Points East (I was so sickened by the set length I thought about asking for my £2.50 back!) so I don't think they would be put off by being offered a short set.

I meant the Shambala ones

Should've stuck Boston Manor on the Pit on Saturday and then there could've been a R1 secret set.

Smokeasac and Teddy not on the lineup anymore, few people added lower down

[Jericode]

There's literally seven acts on the Pit on the day that arguably needed it the most, tragic.

Who’s been added? All I can see is a massive gap between Higher Power and Blood Youth at the moment. Surely they can’t go with only 7 bands that day, would be embarrassing

I know it’s only a week away but I’ve got faith in Dan P Carter to fix those two pulling out. Hopefully we get a fat last minute secret set from someone in that tent.

As much I like Dan P Carter I feel your faith is misguided seeing as he has been overseeing the farce so far.

[Jericode]

I still have hope only because it still says there are more to be announced.

[Jericode]

Added acts for those interested:

Somebody's Child to the Introducing Stage Sat/Sun

Mina Rose to the Introducing Stage Sun/Fri

Miraa May and Scuti to the 1Xtra Sun/Fri

And as mentioned, Smokeasac and Teddy have disappeared from the Pit Sat/Sun with no replacement as yet.

Saturday at Reading/Sunday at Leeds has a huuuuuuuuge gap in the Pit. Could get someone to play an hour and 15 on that.

 

....Biffy?

It’s his stage and he likes a lot of the soundcloud rap stuff so that’s why it’s there. 

A bit of a generalisation but I think it is risky booking those kinds of acts and some of the rappers who aren’t massive as they seem to drop out frequently.

I doubt they’d get Biffy in that tent, it’s surely too small, the crowds trying to get into the pit stage would be dangerous.

Shame. I thought maybe Billie Eilish could pull some people away and make it *slightly* less dangerous

Has to be Idles surely? Playing Friday at another festival. Free Saturday (Reading) and Sunday (Leeds)

I’m interested to see how well attended the FR tent is. 

Do you think it will be empty? Or are you expecting it to busy for certain bands?

I’m not sure, that’s why I’m interested. I would lean more towards empty, though. 

[WFD]

Think I'm right in saying the latest additions and shuffling around means (for Leeds at least) there are no potentisl secret set slots on Introducing, only one on FR and then we have the big gap opening up on the Pit - though suspect that is just due to acts pulling out rather than being secret set related.

I see Roddy Ricch just got arrested on a domestic violence charge.

[Jericode]

That's another one gone from Saturday if he has to drop then.
