Something like that seems reasonably likely to me.  Obvs add an act here and there. 

So based on that assumption only 5/6 bands announced for castle stage each day.  Could be a couple of nice surprises each day still?

No that’s because I didn’t fill the bottom ones.  As i said previously there’s more than enough acts already that the Common and Castle are already full

👍 I was getting excited then 🤣

I think there is a possibility of a few more added. They did two late additions for afternoons on acoustic last year, and they proved very popular.

Plus last year the poster had Full line up on Castle & Main stage, which is 20 acts normally as sisco said. Only the headliner for Beats was on the poster last year, this year we have 2/3 acts each day on poster. And we had 4 acts, including headliner for acoustic.

I think there room for a few surprises, but I dont think its going to be anything to big.

Thanks for posting that as it prompted me to check out their social media. My partner picked up tickets for tonights show from twickets. So, we might not have got notification that tonights show was cancelled.

Facebook does not give a reason why tonights show was cancelled.

Is it official they have pulled out then? B e gutted if they do as was looking forward to seeing after all this time.Was a big fan in the day. Sad to see Kyle is still suffering with mental health and hope he not come off wagon .Jamie used to sing alot with kyle, so maybe can understand tensions.

Oh dear, hopefully they will at least want to do a few gigs to promote the new album. So, maybe they will want to do the festival gigs? But its going to be a case of watching expecting to see a car crash and not the joyous celebration of their music we are wanting.

More than a little dissapointed this was cancelled as I did not try for Vaccines tickets for tonight at the Sebright Arms as we all ready had tickets for The View at Oslo.

Pretty sure it was Kieran that Kyle lamped.  Usually kyle plays guitar and sings but for a few tunes when the bass is a bit trickier (skag trendy), they swap and Kieran takes on vocals.  Kieran’s a top bloke but Kyle is 90% of the talent in the band, reckon he’s just a bit pissed off after playing on his own for a while and now sharing the stage with some folk!

I reckon they’ll be fine for vic.  Any publicity is good publicity right?! 😬

Always put on an entertaining show one way or another! Same, they were a Friday stick on for me.  Hoping the charlatans get a decent length set as they could reel out classics for hours

Hahaha....I thought the comparison table at the bottom of the page was interesting with the 71% price increase since 2018.

Who? Anyone mentioned the main stages?

[more matey]

When do we find out which acts are on which stage? Not timings but just who is playing where.
