I'd love to see Thundercat, but I can't find any dates in July, where is he playing? I also hope for Gary Clark Jr., he's playing in Germany on 4th and 5th July. NiN are only possible on 4th or 5th July, where we already have plenty of acts on Main Stage, so I guess they won't be there this year.

Ok, yeah Thundercat goes back to USA for Bonaroo mid-June so guess he's unlikely. Also true about NIN, sadly  Still hoping they might show up in the Trentmoller/Nicolas Jaar type tent slot (though I know NIN are much bigger)

If NIN should play opener they can only do so on the 5th and 7th of July. Maybe unlikely since they then need to play 3 dates in a row. 

Would be interesting to see My Bloody Valentine..

Yeah think this puts the final nail in the NIN coffin sadly.

So many good acts playing around Open'er week, hope we get some of them (and soon!)

No announcements from Kraków Live Festival and Orange Warsaw Festival this week so far, so I hope we'll get something from Open'er finally!

[gregory]

Last 2 announcements were on Fridays... is today gonna be the day?

Come on, it's only March. What's the rush?

Obviously, I hope you're right.

[mln]

It seems we won't get anything today. It's so annoying, but in fact the pace of announcements is the same every year. I think we must get used to it.

Dawid Podsiadło at Open'er. If you don't know him, he's a decent Polish pop-rock artist, played Opener a few times before. Hopefully some more announcements today!

[gregory]

No Paramore here or at RW etc

[gregory]

Same week as Open'er, so far half of our acts are at RW also, but RW has so much more to offer that we don't have (yet)...

[mln]

This 'yet' is starting to be annoying. It's almost mid-March and I think Open'er is the only festival with only 18 acts.

Yes I agree! I'm very torn with choosing between Werchter and Opener at the moment. But then again; I really want to see Massive Attack and Depeche Mode who won't be at Werchter. Here's hoping for an afternoon announcement!

They've already posted something today. And for Open'er, one post per day is enough

Vince, Dead Cross and Bomba Estereo nice additions. Years and years are terrible, but we need some beer break.
