I'm actually a wee bit disappointed by that. I enjoyed my brief foray into them at T in 2013 before I headed to the mass karaoke.

My other half thought he was being funny:- And suggested the Sunday Headliner was blank as they were waiting for S Club 7 comeback announcement.

Hopefully this will make you all smile this morning x

S Club 7 atop a festival bill in the year of our lords 2023?

What a time to be alive.

[sisco]

Be a great party tbf 😂

[DomDom1984]

Obviously wouldn't happen, but I'd be VERY game for it.

[NorthernSoul52]

Might as well get the Vengaboys in a tent somewhere.

So who do we think is headlining the Acoustic Stage and Beats and Swing?

Normally on the poster, we get 99% of the artists on Common and Castle stages, headliner only for beats and about 4/5 acts from the Acoustic including headliner.

My initial thoughts for Friday was Newton Faulker on Acoustic on the Friday with DJ Fresh on Beats. 

No ideas for Acoustic Saturday/Sunday, but I did think Annie Mac and Sigala for the beats stage, but now we know Annie is on Castle stage....so whats everyone thinking?

Sunday TBC --- Wetleg?

 

hear me out, they are currently one of the hottest bands in the UK and they dont seem to be anywhere else this year really

They fit the vicky genre and demographic and they are a local band (isle of white)

 

just a thought

So hopeful it is Muse they list them twice 

[gregory]

What is this festival like? Is it pretty easy to get a good spot in front of the main stage? How long to walk between stages etc?

And has anyone done the campsite with the free shuttle bus?

And The Beta Band randomly reforming after 19 years to play a festival in Portsmouth also headlined by Kasabian 😄

Easy festival to get around, as long as it's not crazy busy and easier than say Reading to get to the front. Camping and shuttles were discussed a few posts back.

Oh man, The News really continues to go downhill. The picture of McFly for Busted is a total fave. It was excusable when the lovely Arthur used to do the front desk and Dave the Rave subbed, but alas they've retired.

Plus Ann-Marie who played last year.  Great article 

[Simsy]

My fave on that list of 13 artists (which only goes up to 12 and has muse twice) has to be "10. Events: More than 30 crowd and artist photos from Tom Jones, Duran Duran, Paloma Faith and more of this summer's amazing gigs at Halifax's Piece Hall".

High quality clickbait from the News.

Prodigy are headlining the Saturday of Victorious weekend at We are FSTVL in Essex 

[NorthernSoul52]

My map skills aren't as sharp as they could be, but that seems vaguely nearby.

[FxxxItFlowers]

no shot has that article said the beta band and OASIS could headline in the same article like be for real lmao

I am still hoping for this! They'd be a fine Sunday headliner. Dunno why they'd have been held back tho if it was them?

[NorthernSoul52]

Unless the other place needed to get them out first? Surely not a radius clause at that distance, though?

[s30foster]

Looks like Annie Mac is doing both. Not sure what day she's doing the other
