Got my tickets! Exciting times. Haven’t listened to Bmth since Sempiternal so very out of the loop, assume I should just familiarise myself with Next Gen.
I know the lineup isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but as someone who was feeling like they’d seen the same headliners all the time, I’m excited by the prospect of 4 headliners I’ve never seen before.
I have a top 5 of:
1. Aurora - What happened to the heart?
2. Sprints - Letter to self
3. The Cure - Songs of a lost world
4. Mannequin Pussy - I got heaven
5. English Teacher - This could be Texas
+ Mother Mother
Does someone know, if its usually the case that new single names are slowly added now or if we get some bigger announcement the next months?
(Really interested in this festival or "Down the Rabbit hole" (DTRH). Might need to act fast, if the 86% of sold tickets statement for DTHR holds true)
1. Bill Ryder Jones - Ichyd Da
2. Red Rum Club - Western Approaches
3. Big Special - Postindustrial Hometown Blues
4. Black Crowes - Happiness Bastards
5. Hurray For The Riff Raff - The Past Is Still Alive
6. Jack White - No Name
7. Frank Turner - Undefeated
8. Elbow - Audio Vertigo
9. Soft Play - Heavy Jelly
10. Michael Kiwanuka - Small Changes
Song of the year is a tough one. I'll go with Shithouse by Big Special. It may have been available last year, but the album was released this year so it counts.
