BBC's The Biggest Weekend 2018

[DareToDibble]

I moved from Cardiff to Exeter in Jan 2017. So I didn't get tickets when it was in Exeter due to living in Cardiff. Now I've moved here I won't get them as I'm no longer registered in Cardiff.

Bastards

Why couldn't Radio 3 book a classical music act I've heard of? Was Mozart not available?

Would have preferred a Bach-to-Bach set tbh.

Who else for Radio 2 day are we thinking? Are Snow Patrol or Billy Ocean billed as headliners?

Billy Ocean is headlining.

life's a bitch

[NobodyKnows]

I don't believe many of these artists have been confirmed as headliners have they?

I've heard that there about another 100 acts to be announced - across all four cities.

Coventry got the rough end so far, Belfast looks decent.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Coventry looks lame but it's strong for that target audience. Perth is easily the weakest at the moment.

I think I might be Radio 2's target audience and Coventry is absolutely appalling. Maybe I'm not though as Belfast looks excellent.

[Chiefski]

Some of that Perth lineup is competing with the Retro fests that happen around that way

Nah you're very 6 Music, Gnomey. I have the misfortune of listening to Radio 2 in the office and I can assure you you don't get much more Radio 2 than Paloma Faith and UB40.

I feel younger already. I'm more Simon Mayo than Ken Bruce.

Anyway.... did I mention I had a Song for Guy recommendation on Guy Garvey's show the other week? I'm famous now.

I cheated a bit by picking a Manc band, he was always going to play that. 

[DomDom1984]

I absolutely love that Belfast lineup.

Am I the only one really underwhelmed by this?

No!

Will Orbital play Belfast in Belfast?

[Jericode]

Desperately hoping the Swansea one gets something from a heavier demographic because my girlfriend is gonna want to do both days and so far I'm gonna have a very drunk weekend at the bar

So Ed definitely isn’t headlining then if he’s in Manchester that night? But I assume Taylor is?

Yup. They seemed to suggest that was it full stop.

Bit disappointed with Underworld truth be told. Why play Arcade Fire on the trailers and not add them?

Managed to get tickets to the Sunday, excited to see James Bay. Not really arsed by Taylor Swift or Niall Horan. Don't know who J Hus is.

I know I'm reopening an old argument here but... I got through on my phone, on 4G, whereas my laptop and iPad on WiFi never got a sniff....
