Yeah, it was pointless, especially since they were making mistakes and blocking names that they couldn't reveal.

I like this poster, i think this festival might be back to what was expected of it, but they need to be better in terms of organization.

this looks better already than the 2021 version, even without the missing headliner(s) on Thursday, but why are they changing so much of the cancelled line up every year? They don't seem to put much of an effort to rebook.  

They haven't changed a massive amount really - a lot of acts are in exactly the same place on the poster, which has made our guessing game easy.  There aren't as many names as 2021 so some of the "missing" acts are bound to turn up when the line up fills out.

Any outside bets for the remaining headliners? Assuming imagine dragons and the killers are booked, that would three left. 

Would foo fighters be too much?

Well I really expected RHCP to be back but only embargoed til they release their first single. And I expected NIN to be in Europe 2022 (and the Hellfest leak „confirms“ it) but as they are not at Primavera they are likely to be here.

But those two names sound really big for what‘s already on the poster.

Well they were on the 2021 line up and on 2000 Trees who rebooked them.

I'd expect them to book much smaller. Rosalia for example but even she might be too big for those last slots. Other names I'm thinking that are aound for Summer 2022 are Rise Against, Volbeat, Bring Me the Horizon, Korn, or maybe even My Chemical Romane (however their tour currently ends two weeks before MC). Don't think NIN would go through as third on a poster anymore. 
If Haim come back to Europe, they could by now be the smallest headliner for a day.

Don‘t think the poster‘s layout stays the same with all headliners revealed. So not all three missing heads are third slots.

They weren’t even top row last time they played and they’ve not really grown since then. 

And yeah, just because they’re TBA doesn’t mean they’ll be third on the poster when announced. Stuff can surely be shuffled if they’ve got a big headliner who doesn’t want to be announced yet.

Well I'd say, that they'd want to make it super clear, if their remaining headliners are bigger than whats confirmed (like f.e. RHCP). Could turn out your way, but if I had a bigger act in my pocket, I'd at least hint it.

There are a couple of differences between yesterday's reveal and the leak which are probably mistakes on their part - there was no B in the Yungblud slot, and there was no T where Sleep Token are now showing (but there was on an earlier version).

For what it's worth M is in the lead for tonight, and if they persist with it tomorrow it will be pointless anyway because it will be "the other N" (can't type it on this keyboard!) so it will be an anti climax ending to the game.

Probably just pushing ñ so they can write Mañana in maximum font on the poster and then announce the day after, when the Metallica tour is officially announced.

[ThomasP]

Surely not announcing some headliners before the “refund period” defeats the whole purpose of announcing the full line up this early. 
 

I don’t mind waiting at all. In fact I feel like announcing the whole line up this early kills the excitement very early on. However I thought the whole idea was so that people could make their minds up on whether they want to carry on to next year based on whether the line up mirrors what they paid for.

M released, so looking like Imagine Dragons on Thursday.

[wro_lap]

Well hello Massive Attack.

edit: damn, it’s Imagine Dragons

So much pain in one post. 

[polnico]

Them coming back to Mad Cool after the 2018 fiasco would surely have suprised me!

[The_Preach]

Until now it looks like this for me;

Metallica - Twenty One Pilots - Placebo - Carly Rae jepsen/Yungblud

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Imagine Dragons - The Killers - Deftones/Foals

Muse - Faith No More - ???? - AltJ/TWOD

Billie Eillish - Kings Of Leon - Pixies - Royal Blood/Editors

This looks pretty damn awesome if i am being honest.

I agree that looks pretty good and some good names lower down.

Are, we expecting RHCP? No one has really given them a big shout as being rebooked. Que, someone quoting an early post  of them playing 🙂
