Bizkit added to the Rage day, please

Bizkit 3rd down could work. Or early on in day as "special guests." Last year they had 5 logo acts on the Saturday so it's defo possible

Come on NBT, Sum 41 would be nice too

Surely NBT could easily slot in 4th down main on the Saturday? Aitch would then have a similar slot to AJ Tracey's last year which seems about fine

[BigBoyBridge]

guys im pretty sure limp bizkit / i prevail are just gonna be at knotfest

 

[Sgby98]

Nah bring the bizkit and we've got a festival

I was thinking NBT could be a 2KT headliner...

Think there dates around trees makes that difficult but not impossible . Could be announced as a trees h/l then for reading a bit later like you me at six last year makes sense

[VCK]

What do people think about Biffy Clyro's new song? Not a fan personally.

I don't hate it but it isn't what i listen to Biffy for, all for them experimenting with new sounds but hopefully the entire album doesn't sound like this, incorporating synth heavy sounds in with rock can work in some cases but think they've missed the mark here, getting Fall Out Boy vibes from it more than anything

Yeah didn’t enjoy it either, all for artists changing their sound up and that, but its not working for me

Boring af. 

[jamieaslee]

Yeah seems everyone feels same as me, wondered if I wasn't hearing something but ah well, hopefully the albums more guitar based 

[Quorn]

I thought the song was alright to listen to and a pretty good way to get more people listening to their stuff. They said they wanted to release the album’s most ‘poppy’ song first, so I don’t think we need to worry about the rest being the same.

Slowthai ain’t playing 5th down 

Id say more likely between All Time Low and 2DCC

Sum 41 between Slowthai and Tom Grennan and NBT under Gerry

Don't see why he couldn't play 5th down, but I could also see Limp Bizkit slotting in under Slowthai too.

Limp Bizkit or Sum 41 playing 4th on RATM day maybe, LB might even demand 3rd and I wouldn't be surprised.

As long as we don't get another Elipsis, there was a couple of alright one's.

I do find it a bit baffling that they catered to foos day on the main stage last year so well and decided to completely ignore that this year for Rage, its like they deliberately don’t want rage day tickets to sell

It makes you wonder whether the rest of the main stage was booked before they knew that Rage were available?

It’s very strange, Courteeners before Rage blows my mind. Maybe they assume that people like myself will purely buy tickets for Rage?

Give me a run of IDLES > BFMV > Limp Bizkit > Rage or something like that, even if I don’t like IDLES and Bizkit (the latter would be mad just for the atmosphere though).

On a side note, that run of Frank Carter > ADTR > Foo’s is something I think about everyday. Unreal.

Slowthai - IDLES - RTJ - Bizkit would have been great too and more varied

Yeah the rest of the RATM undercard is fine ngl, the big problem is Courteeners. They could book whoever the hell they want for the rest of the day but the sub needs to be remotely similar and have some sort of crossover. 

Even bumping RTJ or Idles to sub, weak as it may be, would make more sense probably just for the flow of acts. Or Bizkit as suggested.

The Friday is a great example, undercard is all Indie and Pop-Punk but we have that nice flow of Migos into Stormzy which makes it look more like a Reading Day. Similar with Gerry into Liam whilst lots of rap underneath.

I think Sunday is the weaker day

[Andre91]

I’d take Courteeners over Bullet For My Valentine. At least Courteeners are guaranteed to pull a big crowd and are relevant to the festival. BFMV should never play another note again. 

[CG31]

I understand what people are saying about the Courteeners into rage but it was said that Skepta into Rage would be good, and they’re not the same genre

[swain]

any chance of catfish being announced still? i'm guessing no?
