These are the options I selected.

I’m not a fan of Bad Omens but thought it was cool to see a rising band from the worlds of heavier music in there amongst all of those others so selected them.

Been a long time! Feel like I've seen the 1975 far too many times the last few years so thinking of splitting between them, nx worries and the prodigy. Feel like Little Simz, Fred again... and peggy gou are my main draws for the other day. 

Nice one, yeah i'll be seeing the 1975 i think but might bump into you if you're going for the full weekend? I'm literally only going for the weekend to see the 1975. I'll probably go see Little Simz and Skrillex on the saturday though, then will be heading over to see Aitch.

Bad Omens had a TikTok-viral song fairly recently and are racking up really good streams on Spotify, hopefully they can blow up properly with their next album.

Awesome yeah, I'm heading for the whole thing. I'll give you a shout closer to the time to sort out a beer or two while someone's on. There's a lot of decent stuff hidden on some of the smaller stages so should be a good weekend!

Nice one mate, this is my first time going to this festival, i've heard horror stories so i'm hoping that it's just personal preference!

I went with Green Day, The Chemical Brothers, Tame Impala, Bad Omens, Olivia Rodrigo, Travis Scott, Metallica, Eminem & Little Simz.

Greta Van Fleet are playing a massive tour, including Wembley, Hydro and Manchester Arena so I think they’re a safe bet to be a sub headliner next year. That tour easily makes them big enough.

Meant to post that in the Download thread 😂

Ahhhhh I see😂

This festival really missed a trick not getting Fred Again… x Skrillex x Four Tet as an exclusive. Their Coachella set looked immense.

They had already announced their headliners / subs before they even started doing it...?

For some reason I thought they’d been doing it for longer than they had. Still would have been a good get.

[FeverDream]

I wonder how they come up with some of the names… I mean, Rammstein? Why put them on there?! They’d never ever be booked for R&L (in reference to the survey, just realised that conversation was over a week ago!)

They've added some names, could tell you who.

They've gone for the old school poster layout because that'll make people buy tickets to your dying festival

This made me realise the change in poster design helped to hide just how many fewer acts there are. When it’s in the old design it’s glaringly obvious

Even with the header, bigger gaps between stages etc… it’s a horribly stark difference in choice

To be fair to them it looks a lot nice than the horizontal lines scattered haphazardly (imo, of course)

[stanh]

Despite the lineup still being an absolute shitter, although, additions of Cordae and Ken Carson are pretty solid, the poster format looks SO much better like this, really quite like the new design (compared to both the previous horizontal lines and posters before MSW), looks a lot cleaner and slick. Shame the lineups poor.

You’ve essentially 2 stages worth less of acts! Christ, I knew it was bad but not that bad.

[she bangs the drums]

Ive not checked in on the line up since the original announcement so did not realise how bad it was until now. 

I honestly cannot see many people paying £290 for this. I would imagine that Leeds weekend tickets will be selling for £120-130 on the week of the festival via Twickets.
