They are doing a “media event” on twitter and posted only 1 tweet and 1 retweet in 30 minutes

Ya but the event has a great aesthetic and old fashion hipster bicycles

Was it really that bad?

[jonnytee1]

I said it would be an update on Twitter! ?

 

Surely not though? What was the 10 clue all about? An update on Twitter? Makes no sense

RHCP, The Cure, Mumford and Sons, The Black Keys, Bon Iver, The National, Travis Scott..

Just quoting this as I remember seeing it before the Bon Iver and National tours were announced....

Reducing stage numbers from 7 to 6 and the VIP areas at the front of the stage are no more

edit - 5000 reduction in capacity per day

Capacity reduced by 5,000 people and other logistical improvements (wifi, bus passes included, bathroom improvement). What was capacity before?

[DDave]

The tickets go on sale this Monday. 85% of the poster, which will be announced in mid-December, is booked And with what they announce today we will already know 40% of the poster

Read one saying that we'll know 40% of the lineup today. That must be lost in translation or something cos that's severe.

Ya I was thinking they were saying we will know whole lineup by end of year but will get bits and pieces throughout, but I am automatically translating tweets to english so can easily be a mistranslation

23 confirmations, maybe they'll announce something today after all...

[bigbad]

[neacaisa]

The Smashing Pumpkins, Noel Gallagher, The Hives, Kaytranada, Teenage Fanclub

[bigbad]

Some decent acts but mostly undercard, hope there is still a lot at the top of those days and expect there will be.

Yeah, I can see why they've reduced the capacity.

 

[kingcrawler]

I realise there's a lot of bigger acts still to be announced but Greta Van Fleet seem bizarrely high up there.

[dentalplan]

Wolfmother and Greta Van Fleet?

Compared to what all other European festivals are announcing last 2 weeks, this is pretty weak

Disappointing if youre right but I still think theres a lot of top acts to be announced. A wild downgrade from last year on pure star power alone. The National, Bon Iver and Vampire Weekend are all top 10 bands of the last 10 years for me but definitely not ready to go to Europe for this yet.

But if we have 85% of the poster by mid-December, we have about 50 names to come in the next three weeks. A lot of big ones too, would imagine.

Ya Im still holding out hope on only The Cure being the top act of their day here. The optimist in me thinks we are still waiting on top acts for Thursday and Friday and a #2 or 3 on Saturday

Probably yes but this is an media event that they have teased 10 days ago with having all the press in the same room right now. If you are not going to announce a big name today besides The Smashing Pumpkins who was already known, when are you going to announce it.
