I genuinely have no idea who those acts are. Major Lazer added now.

Not my thing so that’s one reason I’ve never heard of them. Heard of Major Lazer but wouldn’t know their stuff

[pryce]

My impression is that the main target is really young an pop this year, but there will surely be a couple of rock headliners

I think you’re correct. Rules out grumpy old buggers like me ?

I like Tycho too, but they are pop, especially last album

True, if there current poster has Billy Eilish as a headliner with Foals and Paul Weller in the general mix then I'm probably not their target audience!

[Yelo, the Parmiggiana]

I guess it is more about the headliners. 

If you have Taylor Swift as the major name of the whole circuit, and you are that kind of festival that always books the greatest names around, you also are forced to build the rest of the lineup around that, so if you happen to have TayTay, you will have to stick with that and shape the most of it accordingly. 

That is obvious with Nos, that have 70 names or so in the whole lineup, and this can be spotted for MC as well.

[Nicklord]

Tycho is good chill music. Octo octa is good house party music

But I don't see the point for them unless they play at like 2-4 AM after headliners

Knowing how Electronic stage usually plays out, I'd say: Octo Octa, CCL to open the day, Tycho during the headliners, Modeselektor to close a day, Major Lazer on a main stage after the headliners. Diplo is a wild card, honestly

[Nicklord]

Diplo is a wild card in general. He can play the meanest set but also the shittiest EDM

This is surely correct but I think MC will have a various line up and I'm sure we're still missing a couple of rock/alternative headliners. It would have no sense to book Deftones and Refused without at least another strong name for their fans (RATM / Faith No More / System Of A Down / Tool?)

[clasher]

It's four days over seven stages. Don't worry. 

[robmongascy]

I know it’s already been discussed but do we still think we’ll be getting more headliners in the last days coming up to ticket release?

I'll second that. Plenty more acts to follow.

I assumed we'd only had 3 headliners confirmed, assuming it isn't the case we have a Billie Eilish/21 Pilots co-headline deal. 4 day festival, so you'd like to think there's more yet to be confirmed.

[robmongascy]

Immediate thought is Foo Fighters

Tomorrow's clue could be My Chemical Romance...
