Lineup next month? Thought it was a pretty good event last year (apart from the sound towards the end of Jamie xx)

no idea about line-up, will announce around same time as last year, i'd expect

Emailed the festival team behind this one recently just to ask if any headliner/lineup confirmation is imminent. 

was looking at some other day festivals away from Bristol and didn’t want to buy tickets and commit to travelling to see an act just to see them pop up on my doorstep a couple of days later 

team came back saying they aren’t ready to announce quite yet but standard keep eyes on socials in coming weeks.

so no news really , but if anyone like me was hoping it might be imminent it looks like could be a bit longer yet 

I guess they are probably focusing on shifting some love saves the day tickets at present anyway after that lineup announcement

Wow this place is dead....

Anyway, I think people will be very happy with the Saturday headliner, but I just hope the rest of the lineup is good!

That seems pretty strong.

Looks fantastic. I went to make sure my diary was free to find that I’m at End of the Road. Oooopsie.  

[internetjef]

Saturday card seems pretty deep, think I will likely pick a ticket up.

Might need to see a bit more of the acts added for Friday before committing to that too though 

[CurlyPutz]

Bagged a couple for the Saturday, apex and leftfield, rude not to 😁
