Need to commit proper time to that place this year. Spent some time on the Thursday this year, but that was it.

Where would they do it? Gas Tower's gone now and Iicon deals in dark and uncompromising niche-ery

IIcon would be OK however Iccon has own lighting and Chroma is all about their own AV. 

Park headline? They were due to headline there a few years back but then covid. Bicep live are too big for Park but maybe Chroma DJ be OK.

I think I might have spent a few hours in there for Annie Mac / Blessed Madge on the Friday last year - but hoo boy is it hazy.

You did. 

Or at least, we had a convo about it here not long after. 

Annie, Salute then BM.

Too night

They headlined West Holts 2 years ago.... They are not too big for the Park. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

West Holts is way bigger?

[nikkic]

Next time Bicep play a main stage it’ll be The Other. 

A Chroma DJ set could only really be a couple of places. IICON and maybe Nowhere.

[westholtschic]

Possibly?

(Now I dont think this will happen)

I'd love them to release smaller names. For example. 

Be great if they dropped the BBC introducing line up first. Although I guess its probably one of the layer ones to be sorted. 

Give a great little leg up to smaller acts get people listening to them. 

 

[Beerqueen]

Yep I agree.  The earlier names are released, the greater chance of people being able to listen pre-festival.

Way too big for Park! WH is bigger and was packed. Park also has dodgy access.

I've always imagined the crazy idea of releasing an act a day. Blanked out/ misted over acts on poster that slowly get revealed through the year.

Gives them all their moment for 24 hours. But I guess where do you start? What stage is too small etc? Cos you can't have everyone, not enough days in the year. 

I know wouldn't work but imagine.....

Even if it was like one act a week from ticket day to live up drop would be amazing 

Be great if it was like every Friday at 6PM

One of the smaller acts got announced give them a bit of a platform .

Exactly. Although I think they generally start with smaller acts/ stages to give it momentum. Otherwise the risk is if you have Madonna one Friday then some unknown indie band the next, if you’re that unknown band the groans and disappointment would be harsh..😂

And give us a longer chance to do a bit of background research on bands we might not be fully acquainted with!

I think we're in with a genuine chance of the poster from Tuesday onwards.

1. They'll have finished pushing the ETC.

2. Emily saying full line-up at "the beginning of the year."

3. That weird line that was left on the end of the RIP Joe Bananas story.

4. Page monitors have been showing lots of activity in the last week.

Should I stand in relatively close proximity to my bed then?
