Oh spicy I love that. Four Tet’s Lost Village 2021 line up is insanely good, best set I’ve ever listened to not having been there.

I think having a fairly prominent more dance/DJ like act each night will seperate the crowds really well.

I'm going to regret brining this back up but... considering they hit post at 8:30 and the OG Macca tweet was 8am I wonder if the plan was last Friday after all.

Absolutely made up for this thread hahaha

No one can be surprised wet leg made the poster. I cant believe yard act havent.

I can't believe Wet Leg have made it on to the initial poster. Always thought that they would be there, but to put them on the first poster. It must be a real pisser for bands that are playing and actually have an album or two to play.

Amazing what a bit of hype can do.

Ha

They are one the hottest bands in the country and they will be a must see for loads of people, any festival would jump at the chance to put them on their line up poster.

I think they got on the poster of their own accord. They've been the most hyped new band in the country for like nearly a year now. Would've been one of the first omissions mentioned in the other thread if they weren't on there. 

Hype doesn't equate with talent. So many one hit wonders

That's one of the bands I was thinking of , they've put in the graft and deserve a spot on the poster

Speaking of hype, really shocked not to see Yard Act on there. If they are Williams Green then it's to be very packed.

Haven’t they had two hits already?

One hit wonders yet every one of their only 4 songs is a stone cold banger

even if the rest of the album blows (it wont) it will be a fine debut record

I imagine they'll turn up on Park/JP somewhere low down.

Are they a similar size to Fontaines D.C. in 2019? They did a WG, Left Field and a JP (only because Sam Fender pulled out, I'm still annoyed by that one). Think Yard Act will definitely play more than one set over the weekend, surprised they're not on the poster.

Can imagine Yard Act and Wet Leg do a couple of sets each

[frankxcx2]

started making a playlist, haven’t finished but saw someone ask if anyone had one earlier on - will keep adding as more announcements are made etc

Yeah but Wet Leg very obviously aren't one of them

I thought Wet Leg would, but I think they're fairly busy. Somewhere on the Thursday, Bristol? And then Dublin on the Saturday.

Just listening to ' Too Late Now', definitely not a banger. I've liked bands after a couple of singles but tend to reserve my judgement until an album has dropped. Or they have more than 5 songs to their names!

I think Wet Leg will play early doors JP or Other, do a secret set in the BBC Introducting Tent at 4ish and then play evening Williams Green

EDIT: I could see Yard Act doing similar tbh
