It's fairly obvious now who 2 of the headliners are, but there's essentially co-headliners (I say essentially as I don't know how they'll bill it) that have barely had a mention 👍

Who do you think they are Mez? I have not been following this but will attend for sure, line up dependent.

I've heard boygenius for this, so presuming they are one of @Mezhyp1 potential co-headliner's, hard to place their size since Phoebe's increased popularity.

Phoebe is a bigger name on her own imo

 That's the second of the supposed four gigs around the festival announced. I wonder if The Strokes are big enough to play a standalone gig or if they'd be better as a strong headliner for the festival itself?

He's now doing two nights, so that's just one standalone gig left to announce. 

Wonder when we'll hear about the festival itself, I'm guessing they'll start properly teasing it next week with maybe an announcement next Friday, tickets on sale the following week.

No surprise he’s sold that out. With McFly as support that second date will sell out quickly as well.

I’m starting to worry about Connect with another late announcement and the reduction of the Friday (although I can see why that’s happening)

Wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t last past this year.

Alt-J as the other co headliner? Popping up on a few fest's around the time, Victorious etc... Quite a few on their lineup that would fit connect tbf

Nah

[orangepaterson]

Going to go with Ben Howard. Mezhyp1, am I right?

[DomDom1984]

McFly supporting Capaldi does my head in because it's made it even more certain they won't be doing any headline shows here.

Haha it's cool, assumed Boygenius was correct with the reaction you gave someone else. Anyone else on the Victorious lineup there?

On victorious - there may be a couple of the lesser acts as i genuinely can't remember, but none of the main acts nah

Really hoping Wunderhorse is playing the same day as Fred headlining (assuming he is). That would secure my attendance for sure. 

If Primal Scream is headliner I fear for the ticket sales that day, and the future of the festival. 

[addicted2noise]

Jamie XX and The Strokes?

[DomDom1984]

The Strokes were ruled out a while back I think. Pretty sure YYYs were included in the rule outs.

Right enough, I probably should've read the thread first. What about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard as one of the out there co-headliners? Not sure if they're big enough but are headlining End of the Road the week after.

Unfortunately not. That'd be epic

Hoping for Sigur Ros, Little Simz, The Walkmen & Fever Ray

Just noticed @Mezhyp1mentioned about Franz Ferdinand playing a festival in Scotland in August on another forum. 
 

Don’t suppose it’s here?

I seen elsewhere that they are supporting Pixies in the US on tour, that would be an ideal top 2 for me, still expecting Pixies to pop up on some festivals
