Connect Festival

Franz Ferdinand would be a delightful addition tbh. Them and Primal Scream together could work I reckon for selling tickets.

If they're both playing I don't think they'd be playing on the same day 😉😉

[DomDom1984]

I'm not sure who the obvious other one here is at all, which means this is probably one of the things in the thread that I've missed along the way.

Hmm... 

Fred Again..

Primal Scream / Franz Ferdinand

Boygenius 

[Deeps]

Interpol an option for playing? I see they've been announced for a few festivals recently and could potentially fit in here.

[DomDom1984]

Nothing in August though, so I reckon they'll be gone from Europe by then.

Actually still not quite there yet in terms of guessing correctly

Any chance of Bloc Party somewhere in the bill @Mezhyp1 ? They’re playing a few festivals this summer but nothing in Scotland so far apart from supporting Paramore at the Hydro

Believe that support slot is their whack

Shame they’d have been a good fit for this. Cheers for the info

Boygenius 

That's actually not bad. Fred Again will obviously shift a lot of tickets but so too will Boygenius despite them probably getting a lot of "who?" responses once they're announced. I'm not sure how many weekend tickets they'll sell though.

[Chiefski]

Got a feeling we'll be getting an announcement this week, maybe ahead of payday. 

One last ponder, which I'll happily let @Mezhyp1rule out if so, if Boygenius aren't headlining outright is there someone potentially after them... Of which hasn't been mentioned on here yet, and has no other UK shows/fests announced (yet?)

[Mezhyp1]

You're not miles away, but they've got other UK shows

Interesting... Initially thought Bjork, fits the Connect look etc, but she's got no other shows in the UK...

Nothing as adventurous as that 

[BlackFoxx]

Could Florence do it? 

[BlackFoxx]

Are the shows other summer festival dates or their own tour?

[sheffinghell]

Presumably announcement will come this week in time for payday...

[sheffinghell]

Any chance of Grace Jones at this? Or Iggy Pop or the Strokes? All have a very small number of festival type dates lined up...

[Chiefski]

Going by what's around at summer time, I'll guess it being one of

First Aid Kit, Loyle Carner, Wet Leg (don't think of them as a headliner, but they'd be lightening bottling their recent success...) Christine and the Queens, Two Door Cinema Club, Sigur Ros, Grace Jones

[DomDom1984]

I'm still not buying Wet Leg as a headliner at all. Not even lightning in a bottle stuff. Grace Jones would be great. Enjoyed her immensly when I seen her at No. 6. Two Door Cinema Club would be fun as I've not seen them before, and it doesn't look like I'll be doing the Leeds thing before Slam Dunk.

[BlackFoxx]

Don't think Wet Leg could do it because of R+L and Rock En Seine
