no i can't see anything that says they are, but its on the clashfinder, was hoping they were!

Back when Keane were announced they posted a poster with the Lightning Seeds on it so had based it off of that, hadn't realised they'd since confirmed they aren't. It'll be interesting to see who fills that space, no doubt another cover band

There are definitely gap on the Main Stage and Big Top ! Short of about 8 acts

[AMBEV]

Wonder if they can’t afford  to fill as they haven’t sold enough tickets.

Nah. Acts for those sort of slots will be booked long before they have any idea of ticket sales 

[rfc_478]

If the gaps stay, it opens up the possibility for a ‘secret set’ or two- something RnL have done for a number of years now

[Neon]

I guess that some of you guys could get up and tell us jokes and amusing tales if things get desperate ?

or even cross t's

[galbani]

crossing the i's

Don't know why the t's are cross... who's been upsetting them?

 

[AMBEV]

Don’t see that contracts are still being sorted for acts.  This type of stuff is sorted ages ago.  

The slot Jessie J was in isn’t filled.  Can’t tell me an act that size hasn’t got their diary full for the summer already, let alone less than 4w time.

you are such a funny guy, you really need to be up there

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

Hey, I’m thinking of attending this year to see Biffy Clyro on the Sunday. I can’t camp cos I’m only going for the day ticket. Does anyone know of any cheap(ish) accommodation near by? Or any other way of staying after? 

Cheers

Just because nothing has been announced doesn’t mean it hasn’t been sorted

In the way that you always look on the negative side, in my view you think the glass is always half empty.

and i find that amusing.

That’s fine.  I’m the total opposite in really life actually and apologise if I come over that way.  

As a consumer I find it frustrating that they haven’t kept to their previous business models. Going forward the writing could be on the wall for this reason.  I reckon they’ll be lucky to his 45-50k sales this year.  This making it not financially viable in future. 

[eFestivals]

word i heard is that the missing main stage act is not a biggie.

Didn’t think it would be in that slot. Any idea why they are holding it back?

nope. I'd guess it's still in the process of being sorted, but it sounds like it will be sorted as people in the loop know who it is (I don't know who it is).

That’s ok I guess it hard to judge folks and I spoke out of turn. I am a bit of a pillock and often do. I am generally fairly harmless ?
