Main-stage still only has 11/20 acts,  Tent 13/20. fingers crossed

The worst thing is that we have to wait so long for so weak and small acts... If they have something bigger, I completely don't understand why they're waiting so long.

So while we are waiting for an eternity for the next announcement: is there anyone else here who will go to the festival on their own? Seems like my partner in crime won't come with me to Opener this year so would be nice with a beer mate now and then;)

It’s that time of the year when they waste loads of money/time making an advert better the lineup

Main Stage, Friday

A duo made up of two rappers who performed last year, one of which (Taco) played immediately before the xx on Mainstage. Guess they will either play right before Gorillaz or after at 1am. What y'all think?

They are very popular now in Poland, so I bet they will be playing at 20:00, right before Gorillaz. I wonder whether it's the only name for today?

Not my kind of music but positive that Opener seems to speed up the frequency of announcements.

Still hoping some guitars will show up eventually;)

FYI the announcement of TACONAFIDE on Instagram is the second most liked photo for the 2018 festival already, more than Depeche Mode, Gorillaz, Bruno Mars, or any other act apart from AM.

That shows what kind of public will attend their show. They are massively popular among people under 20 in Poland. There is even this famous meme ("Riots after Taconafide's gig / First suspects arrested):

Think we might get something today or is it impossible with yesterday being a public holiday?

I bet we won't get anything today. I'd like to be wrong though...

We've been getting announcements pretty often lately, I would actually expect something today as well :) Time's shrinking, tic toc...

[Liz747]

Who do you guys expect to come to Open'er? Just curious

[ParanoidTourist]

I'd say Liam Gallagher is quite possible. Perhaps also Wolf Alice, Franz Ferdinand and Alice in Chains.

That would be great! :) However, since I've got a ticket for saturday I'd expect something more like hip-hop, pop/r'n'b act.

Yep you're probably right about Saturday being more "poppy";) Maybe Goldfrapp or First aid kit then.. 

Or Pet shop Boys but that will probably not happen.

Meanwhile, there are first posters in Polish cities (last line looks hilarious):

Doubt it, they already shared a post about NGO's on IG and FB today, guess that'll be it. As ever, hope I'm wrong.

I agree, two posts on one day would be something extraordinary.

[Matit7]

What do you think, it's possible we will have any announcement tommorow?
