Hardly know anyone.

Whitney is a nice addition. Missed them on Lowlands last year. Sampa The Great is also welcomed.

Is it bad that I don't know a single band on this list?

Hoping for Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes 

glad I bought the ticket for their London gig tomorrow!

[Ohad]

Does anyone here remember when the full line up and timetable is usually published?

[Oleksii]

PUP is must-see band for rock/punk-rock/guitar-music lovers. Highly recommend to check them out

[VCF]

Gang of Youths to open the main stage on Friday is a nice addition. Could be tempted to go if a strong sub to The Strokes is announced in the coming weeks.

At the current rate the lineup is complete before the end of this month. Given that we already know stage splits, I figure that the timetable will follow with the last names.

[BlackFoxx]

City and Colour, Whitney, Pup, Gang of Youths and Bombay Bicycle Club are all great additions for me and probably pushed me over to getting a ticket!

Join the club.

So what are we thinking now - is that officially a 'no' for Gojira (and While She Sleeps)?

[frontsidecab]

Inhaler, PUP, Bombay and Gang of fucking Youths yes

[BenG92]

City & Colour is the biggest get for me, Bombay is nice, Brass Against is cool and I've heard good things about a lot of the others. Nice little batch of small bands.

We're about 3/4 of the way through names

[Ken19]

Sunday is not complete yet. In the Dutch version of the press release you can read additions. 2/3 more bands to go this day.

[EV123]

This is just a very beautiful announcement! That thursday is looking really stacked now on Slope, Barn and KlubC! 

A lot of beautiful names for me. Apparat, Sampa the Great, Marc Rebillet, Eefje De Visser, Lianne la havas and City and Colour amongst others!

[JayBeeis]

Anyone have a poster or a clashfinder up? 

[AAlex]

A couple of nice additions for me... without listening to the ones I don't know Inhaler, Gang of Youths, Bombay Bicycle Club and Easy Life stand out.

 

Unless 'completes the programme for Sunday' means completes todays announcement, which I don't think it does, that would mean Sunday should be a pretty good gauge of whats left to be announced...

MAIN STAGE 7/5/7/7

THE BARN 5/4/4/6

KLUB C 6/5/6/5

SLOPE 4/5/3/4

Can't be a lot left if the Sunday really is complete, 1-2 main stage acts for Friday, a few Barn acts and possibly the odd one for Klub C/The Slop depending on set lengths.

 

EDIT - There's five minutes I'lll never get back @Ken19  😄😄

Tame Impala have a month long gap in their US tour, starting middle of June, I don't know if there's any dates they haven't added to their webite in that gap yet, but could they possibly be heading over for a few shows? Would make a perfect closer after The Strokes for me, and RW have had 'dance/electronic' acts play after the headliners in the past.

I'd say more than 3/4 perhaps 8/9 maybe haha!

Yeah. Add another 10-15 small names next week + Post Malone and it should be complete.

Oh right I thought it was 7 acts per stage per day

This is weird, in the french version, they say that Thursday is full and Sunday not. While they say the opposite for both english and dutch.

There is nothing in the press release about new names next week. Keep that in mind. Normally by the end of the month the line up is complete, but I expect some news the last week of the month.
