Why do you compare inmusic with exit? Exit is electronic festival with so many shitty acts. They had in past excellent bands, but now, only electronic garbage with few good rock bands. I've been on Sea star in 2017 only because of Prodigy and that was my worst festival experience. Exit is probably same shit.

For me, even if I dont like many bands on Inmusic, they still have a better lineup in a last few years.

Because The Cure are playing both, as @Nicklord had mentioned, but for much less (€25 per ticket)

Anyway, to no ones surprise, they deleted that conversation thread I mentioned, but I screen short it last week for prosperity https://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/226792-inmusic-festival-2019/?do=findComment&comment=5570980

That's not the point but @gregory explained what I wanted to say

Also if you don't like electronic music doesn't mean it's garbage. I'm not the happiest with the shift Exit took from alt rock to electronic fest but there's almost no shitty electronic music there, plus Exit has literally every type of music so of course when you look at the lineup you wouldn't like everything. Last year on the same day I saw (in order) LP, Fever Ray, 10 minutes of Migos, Sevdaliza, friend's metal band at some small stage and then Richie Hawtin

That's it for me for this festival - just hasn't worked out lineup wise for me - enjoy folks!

 

I'm off to Best Kept Secret instead

[gregory]

Still think we've got a headliner to come. Realistically, I think it has to be one of;

The 1975
Liam Gallagher 
Kraftwerk
Bastille
Franz Ferdinand

Less realistically;

Tame Impala
Mumford & Sons
...Muse

I put that Excel lineup file online, open for everyone to edit (i hope it works)
INmusic lineup

Overall i would say lineup is not that bad so far but it is missing some big names compared to last two editions. It is comparable more to INmusic#11 in 2016.

But in case with two more solid names announced it would out of a sudden become quite strong, with more "known" names than usually and quite strong under cards (for INmusic standards)

@gregory I can't think of a more realistic acts you named on that list ?I would take Liam but expecting Kraftwerk/Bastille. Just not FF please haha ..

They were very good last summer in Prague, would recommend, especially for the price.

I’ve already got tickets ? nice little venue, capacity is only around 1500 so should be great.

[gregory]

Mystery solved!

 

[activean]

He is actually very popular here, three months ago he was in Ljubljana, pretty much sold out the arena and this happens rarely 

[Sandwichkid]

The Cure and Bryan Adams, I dont want to know how the audience would look like, probably more like a funeral than a festival audience ??

[gregory]

Another (more promising) version of the poster;

[activean]

New graphic

[StupidDream]

Just following out of interest - and it's quite a funny thread - but I've never seen a festival putting out so many different posters

[activean]

Foals just released new single and tour dates. They have a show Bournemouth June 26, so probably playing INmusic on the first festival day. 

Also just for the info, Peter Bjorn and John are playing in Ljubljana this March, tickets are 16-18€.

I often go to Kino Siska and tickets usually are from 20€, they must be incredible. Anyway I'm joking, I quite like them. 

But with this stellar lineup I'm 99% out for InMusic, I'll go away for job in those days, it's better to be at work than watching LP

With Biffy and Noel playing the UK the week before, I add them to the headliners list:

The 1975
Biffy Clyro
Noel Gallagher
Liam Gallagher 
Bastille
Franz Ferdinand

Kraftwerk
Tame Impala
Mumford & Sons
...Muse

[activean]

Šumski were now added to Euopavox. "Return to the strange and wondrous forest" ?

 

Thom Yorke is near, 2nd July in Germany and later in Italy .. 

He would fit instead David Bryne from last year, but this spot is already taken i guess..

He may even be a headliner here, i'm really confused what more can we expect ?

[gregory]

The Strokes* confirmed**

*The Voids
**Just kidding neither will play

[activean]

New week, new poster?My interpretation of it: 

-We are missing one headliner

-Kurt is second down

-One more Word stage headliner tba, but something local. 

-I doubt Sofi is headlining Hidden stage with Peter Bjorn & John, event though it would be great considering her musical genre + that would mean one more Word stage headliner to be added. 

-The number of known artist is already close to as it was in previous editions, but maybe we could get some more acceptable names this year, it's only January.

could see Liam now as last headliner.

That would bring quite a bad crowd over from the UK (like in 2017), so hopefully not.

I also have a vision of Cure fans buying a 3-day pass and only going on the cure day, so the festival could be quite empty the other 2 days (fingers crossed)

As for David Byrne = Kurt Vile, St Vincent = LP, and AIC = Garbage ... ?

I thought the same when they were announced... 

Italy is around the corner and their last shows here were about 80€...

[Andrej]

Definitely this. The Cure are massive here in the region, and most of the ticket buyers are 35 or 40+, so they just want to see The Cure, are not a "normal" festival crowd, and if it rains and they dont like the line up on other days, they will simply stay at home. 

[Nicklord]

That already kinda happened in 2016 with Florence. Both PJ Harvey and Gutterdammerung with Henry Rollins (who were there instead of Motorhead) had way smaller crowd. Especially the later, but that day was also really shitty weather wise
