Given the current choices? It should do pretty well. 

Hoping for Death Grips or Fever Ray on Park that night instead

Yeah I guess there’s not a great deal on, just kinda thought HC as a headliner is fairly uninspired/not a massive draw, given they’ve done WH and Park recently too. 

I’ll be there there either way.

Saw Doctors.  Didn't expect that.  Saw them once absolutely years ago.  Wouldn't have thought them big enough to headline but hey ho.

Is this true? Where is the leak info please (I'm not fussed, but 2 friends are huge fans)

Re: Hot Chip. They headlined The Park in 2019. It was a nice little crowd but nothing too big, lots of space.

Same happened with Jessie Ware last year come to think of it - I thought she'd have a much bigger crowd.

Think Jessie and Roisin both suffered from having a similar fan base. 

We plumped for RM, but the crowd was pretty small. 

I’m hoping HC have a reasonable crowd but nothing crazy, atmosphere will be electric if it’s people who really wanna be there.

I love Hot Chip but can’t see them filling Woodsies.

There’s some underestimating of the Arctics going on, they’re a huge draw. Around Glastonbury they’ve got sold out gigs at the Emirates in London and Bellahouston Park in Glasgow. 

That said, I don’t think the competition elsewhere is especially strong so maybe-hopefully-that’ll work for HC.

Hot Chip will have a decent crowd.

Or a massive crowd if it's raining.

Killers / Chems / Wu Tang / Sean Paul on the other stages is quite the murderer's row, though. Can't say AM / Wizkid / Kelis has quite the same draw to it despite AM being massive.

Forgot the mighty Hawkwind on acoustic. Must have been where all the real heads went.

Awkward - should I steer clear? 😛

All points to the possibility of a record number of people sacking it off and not paying the balance.

i pointed that out months ago for the same reasons and got jumped on and told i was wrong). i reckon there'll be a record number of tickets back in the pot for the resale this year.

I know a main stage/area announcement date but it im paranoid that if I release it early, my ticket will get cancelled.  I’ll reveal tomorrow.

[nilolium]

so you just announced an announcement date for an announcement date?

Wow Saw Doctors. Saw them headline Avalon back in 2005ish when they were still current and getting airplay. Surprised that they are considered headliners

It’s killing me man.  I’ve been hanging on to this for weeks.  Have a few wines and I partially spill the beans. 15th April

Both acts are absolutely everywhere recently to be honest, may push people towards the other stages / early SE corner

i reckon that must be the full announcement date as the full announcement date is the only one that seems to get widely shared.

Is Kidney Terra your real name? How would they know which ticket to cancel?

Bloody hell, right before the resale! Not what I'd hoped for despite the general thinking there'll be higher than usual no's of tickets available.  Which in itself might be why the full drop is being planned for 15 Apr.

Nah! Just a stage / area. I hate it when  people do this kind of SHit.  Should’ve just kept my mouth quiet for a little longer.
