Yup, although it was just a DJ set wasnt it?

Fever333 were meant to do it in 2020, theres been a few over the years, nothing as big as Broco but given their secret sets fit fine, up agains Eilish wouldn’t be a problem numberswise, it’s just if the band would take that as a precedent for their size…

Nope, they did 2 live sets in 2019. The Sound System thing was in 2013 (I think?) and that was it that year.

Don Broco vs Billie wouldn’t be out of the question. They need a big act to compete with her otherwise there will be about 1 person in the tent. 

Lol AM had Wilkinson and Krept & Konan opposite them. It was very much a "we give up, everyone will be at main any way" 

Same for Billie

Come on, leakers!

Yeah, hence actually trying to offer something, anything….

We just left for the night

Went past Wilkinson on my way out half way through AM and that seemed to have a full tent from what i remember

[nathanh]

Greg has the announcement

[nathanh]

Looks to me like they are trying to get the most attention possible. Hopefully some big names too. 

[Fusionrrr]

Realistically, is anyone gonna be added to the main stage?

[andyrhodes24]

Do they usually do the second announcement on the radio or am I being too optimistic that it means some big ish acts will be announced?

Don't believe so, if they have done in recent years, I certainly can't remember them doing the 2nd announcement on R1.

Main's got plenty of slots to fill, but all the lower down ones. 

Still, lower down main last year had Denzel Curry, Poppy, Frank Carter etc. so potential for something good tomorrow

[nathanh]

Feeling quite optimistic personally

In that case it has potential but it smacks of your usual R1-friendly acts. Yungblud, Mimi Webb, generic UK rapper, generic UK pop, The Hunna etc etc

[Newjem]

Given what was announced on Radio 1 last time I wouldn't get really excited.

Yeah facts. Even though I think it's all but confirmed Fred Again is at Connect that weekend, and the most recent info had only had him tipped for Connect, Parklife, Glastonbury and some London shows, he would make a pretty strong special guest and help shift some tickets, plus is popular with the Radio 1 audience.

loads of people were complaining about the wilkinson clash - and a comment above said it was rammed^

[stanh]

Heard Bou (Halsey) and Sigma (Bring Me) were very very busy too.

Neither too shocking given they aren't the big headliner

dance tents have been rammed during headliners for years

If Turnstile are at LnR and not Download I'll laugh into my pool of tears

Turnstile will be totally wasted at R/L. Will stick out like a sore thumb on that line up.
