Might be wrong but I took it as Capaldi being the MS1 headliner on the Fri.

It shows how poor it is that it’s not obvious who the third MSE headliner is, shocking

Christ that’s awful, have brought some form of tickets to every R&L festival since 2015 (only missed 1 due to having COVID), but this is the first I’ll probably be missing entirely.

Cheers pal. And yeh i been liking fred again of late whoever said that. Sure diplo and skrillex around the weekbefore at that European festival i can never spell

[TownNation]

Billie will have cost a bomb so that's probably downgraded the others and I've seen Billie now a couple of times before so I'm not too excited (although glad she's there and think it'll be a good show) Capaldi belting out Someone You Loved will be bone chilling live but that's all I know and Killers is a good throwback but I'm not that excited tbh. The rest is shocking.

We get this comment every year but this is the first time I’ve genuinely agreed with it.

[beetchez]

Eh, saved myself some money.

[stanh]

See you all same time next year for the 2024 chat! But nah fr, that is diabolical 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

It's telling that they weren't pushing the announcement at all this morning on social media

Don’t understand Lewis Capaldi as a booking, an absolute drip of an act. Can you imagine watching someone like Wet Leg, then Capaldi, then be upbeat for The Killers after?

bicep, trippie red, steve lacy

No Idles, fucking hell fire

[wro_lap]

I’m amazed at how overwhelmingly negative the reaction is. Capaldi and Imagine Dragons aren’t to everyone’s tastes but both pretty huge artists. Honestly I’m delighted with those headers - someone has to be

Funnily enough I only a few weeks ago that the market right now is just right for a V Fest style festival. What failed then would sell now.

A long time ago

[theesundayroast]

Bicep in the sunlight?? Surely not that'll be very odd

And they certainly won't fit in the dance tent

[Tom Connolly]

just so poor. Steve Lacy is the only exciting booking on there. 

[luckysalt]

It's safe, it's middle of the road, nothing with wow factor, but this will sell out absolutely and fast. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Why do Don Broco take this booking? Play arenas and get shoved down below Steve Lacey and Lil TJay 😂

[stanh]

Bicep should be headlining over Foals and Capaldi, put some respect on their name

I saw bicep in the day at wilderness year before last was good still!

Yeah struggling to think where Bicep fit in to this. Be absolutely bizarre if they’ve got a daytime main stage slot, but with the NME tent now gone, surely that’s the only place they’d fit?!

[wghennessy]

Capaldi and Billie will drag this to sell out. The rest are just meh.

I would hope they put them in the dance tent and they just dont use their full production so they can be on in the evening.  But I guess a weird main stage slot is ok by them to get the paycheck

I’d kill to see Bicep, but in the light and I am throwing hands
