Mmmm. They've waited this long for that announcement? The announcements have definitely improved the lineup, but waiting four months for those names? Odd.

Maybe they're not done entirely, they might still announce something tomorrow

[jparx]

Surely a headliner left for the Bon Iver day then?

Says 'and more' at bottom of poster.

Yes, would be very weird otherwise. If the others are co-heads, Bon Iver is definitely not a headliner on its own.

Was expecting the announcement tomorrow, so quite surprised

Last year they said and more even when they are only going to add the band contest winners. It means nothing right now

[Rico_Pliskin]

Missy Elliot was supposed to be announced, she was on promo material given to Media.

[jparx]

Not sure I can see them announcing something more tomorrow. Seems odd to release all of that today, release new posters, press releases etc. and announce something else the very next day. But then waiting even longer to announce another headliner seems equally as crazy...

[jparx]

The tweet translates as "something special we will reveal very soon", so maybe there is a headliner to come at the presser tomorrow?

I hope the "surprise" is not just Missy Elliott.

Yeah that'd be a real downer at this point after it already leaked.

Please not missy Elliot ?

[Rico_Pliskin]

I think Guns n' Roses are going to be announced. 

Like where is Slash? He's not playing at Download and has no Portugal/Madrid dates.

GNR would be beyond the best outcome, but I really can't see it. Are they really going to do two festival shows this summer (assuming NOS as well) and that's it? 

[The Martini Police]

Is this Wednesday show still a thing? That opens up a few acts.

Also, not sure that surprise is something huge. I reckon they would've made a bigger deal about it but I'm sure we don't have long to wait before finding out.

[Jaykc82]

Their instagram post with the updated poster has the same comment as on Twitter except they also have it in english and they refer to surprises (plural). Hopefully that's the case.  If it was Missy Elliott plus a headliner, that wouldnt be so bad.

I would say the Wednesday show would have to be a thing for sure given that they sold tickets for it.

Also, did anyone notice that HER is no longer on the lineup and has been removed from the website (unless I'm blind)

Are we talking about the same thing? The 40k event? They've sold tickets without a lineup?

HER has pulled out yeah, explanation on Twitter. Teenage Fanclub too.

H.E.R and Teenage Fanclub have both pulled out, lauryn hill and american authors both replaced their slots.

[Krisesk]

Looks like Teenage Fanclub are gone too.

 

Edit: mentioned above!

surprised to see them here, they're playing portugal's primavera sound so you would have thought they would also play barcelona's

they played PS Barcelona last year.

The first day of Mad Cool is the best single day of any festival this year.

And that may be the day with a headliner TBA as well. 

[40 Days]

As someone who wanted to go this year based on last year, this is extremely disappointing. Really weak line up.
