LAWKS! It's the next announcement thread

[Havors]

Those headline clashes on the Sunday are ridiculous for me. Elton, Alt J, QoS and Rudimental.... all acts I wanted to see 😞

Followed by HAAI in San Remo.

On paper could be my fave run of all time.

I'm gutted that I'll miss out on Folamour, Ewan McVicar, and Camelphat - they were up there with my faves from the SH poster. Will have to check out HAAI and maybe that's me sorted for my post Hot Chip dance-a-thon!

Lack of The Pretenders is frustrating.

I must say last years line up didn’t do much for me but I didn’t complain. This year however 🔥 

[rwoo]

Anyone got a decent Clashfinder with most of the stages on?

The TBA on the Temple Friday night has got to be Fred/Skrillex/FT hasn't it?

Inbetween Fred other and fourtet icon? Bit tight isn’t it?

They're clearly learning from last year how popular retro is.

Rick Astley, Texas, Sophie Ellis-Bextor all on Pyramid slots. Not sure I'd have put money on that prior to the Mel C or TLC shitshow last year.

I think it may be Roni Size and Reprezent considering he's already confirmed he's playing on his tour poster, and he doesnt seem to be anywhere on the lineup?

Guns and Roses given 2 hr 15 min set but Elton John only gets 2 hours! Outrage

I'm pretty confident in saying - Elton will have been given exactly what he asked for.

I'm fairly sure it's a typo and should show a 23:15 finish rather than 23:05

No ticket, and each to their own and all that but the Pyramid and Other Stage? Jeez...

Texas late afternoon on the Pyramid in 2023. 😬

Sunday night Other Stage is great with The War On Drugs into Queens of the Stone Age, but clashes with Elton John. 

Woodies and The Park saving it throughout for me. West Holts OK.

Still very, very jealous mind 🙂

 

 

Yes that's pretty dire. Manics with a high slot on the other stage too. Past it.

Yep, looks like good so far. Rick Astley, for his one song alone, will be busier at that time than the Pyramid has ever likely been.

trying to keep up .... we haven't figured out the @Gnomicide post yet have we ? or was that pulp ?

She's very different from Folamour, Ewan M and Camelphat, just FYI!

I assume it’s the fact they’ve got rid of the ‘big opener’ slot for The Other Stage on Friday.

The finish times for Pyramid headliners often don't match up to what happens in the field anyway. Curfew on the stage is 23:30 on Sunday, so he could play a full 2 and a half hours if he wanted.

I like Sophie Ellis-Bextor and she’s actually pretty great live, but has she had some kind of career revival that I’m unaware of? Because that’s a pretty generous slot for her, even if they are leaning in to having a bunch of nostalgia acts in prominent places rather than shoved on Avalon. 

[deepkittycaz]

Does look like there's no replacement home for the small indie bands now that Williams Green has gone  😞

She is quite a lot bigger now due to all the lock down kitchen discos she did online during the pandemic. Tour venues are larger in size recently.

Yep, she has.

Some lockdown thing went viral and she's been playing bigger slots at various places since then.

[-TLR-]

overall, for me personally, line up is complete shite.

this may very well sound like a moan, but on the contrary, i prefer having nowhere to be... when you leave your tent there's no telling where you might end up.

Ah yeah thought that might’ve had something to do with it. Fair enough. Saw her at Liverpool Pride a couple of years back and she killed it, and I was surprised at how many of her songs I remembered.

Try going on Clashfinder - I was also a bit downbeat about the lineup, but two out of three days are now packed!
