Ooh interesting. Wonder who else fits the 2001 clue? If those are still valid...

Black Keys, Arcade Fire, LCD Soundsystem.  May be others

Last year they had 5 headliners (Pearl Jam alone plus 2 sets of co-headliners including ones that could headline outright). Unclear what it's gonna be like this year (any number from 4 to 6) but when asked if there were any more headliners to come after the last announcement they said 'do the maths  '. Could mean 1 more to equal 2018 number or 2 more to 'fill the gaps'. Making it even less clear though, in 2018 they had made it clear there were more to come using dots to indicate missing co-headliners - no sign of them on the poster this time. Hope that helps in some way...

Thanks. I'm planning to go this year as it's the best chance of catching Bon Iver.

Do they usually sell out the day tickets?

We'll I'd love any of those but none of them are currently active. Arcade Fire and LCD seem to have finished up their recent run, so Black Keys would be most likely but until they announce some shows I don't see it.

Have Catfish and the Bottlemen been ruled out?  New album on the way but were there only a couple years ago

I don't think The Black Keys have been up to much as of late

They’re playing Kentucky in the USA on the Friday so you’re wrong

Yet again

Do we have an educated guess on when there will be an announcement? Are they waiting for Easter?

Blimey, having to wait til Easter would then need more than a biblical miracle to resurrect my interest in the festival.

For this festival? This year's edition? Which timezone? 

[Calvin Klein]

Where are people buying tickets for this? Festiticket or Ticketmaster? I've been directed to both by the festival website.

I got mines off Festicket. 

I'd hold off buying right now, perhaps there may be some promotion for valentines or easter, may get 10% off or something.

Thanks! It looks like ticketmaster has lower extra costs now.

Eight weeks tomorrow since they announced an act. ?

[birchtree29]

I guess the sales are really low this year. I don't remember them doing any promotions like this.

What does a Welcome Party invite entail?

Good question. All I know is that MGMT played at one on the Wednesday last year (if that is what is being called a 'Welcome Party'). Anyone here go? What kind of venue was it in? Any good?

Makes sense. Pay day isn't until tomorrow so I might have to pass up on this anyway. 

[Jaykc82]

Although I get why festivals do this, it can be infuriating for those of us who bought earlier and missed out on a good deal.  Probably wouldnt have used the ferris wheel (wife and I both hate heights) but the Wednesday preparty would have been a nice bonus since I'm sure there is a good chance we buy tickets to it anyway it the artist(s) for it are even remotely interesting
