Good sleuthiung - Some of the Thursday and Friday ones may be that they just add the festival start date.

Another thing is that Pretenders appear on the lineup top line - so headliners we all presiume.

Well if their own website is true they can't be headliners as they are an Exclusive Headliner at Midnight Sun Festival.

Yeah I think Yard Act and Anna Calvi are just putting the first date but alot of the ones on Friday are also playing Dot to Dot, Slam Dunk or Live At Leeds.

I'm sure I read that were missing a headliner so expecting to The Pretenders as a sub. Think I also read somewhere that Echo and the Bunnymen were the same day as Interpol

Does this suggest that the new stage is going to be the Second stage, and the Woodland is 3rd?

Yup, the larger acts that would have been on in the Woodlands will be in the Big Top, so will combat the 'queue' to get into a limited space that everyone moaned about, and will probably still moan if the Big Top gets full 😉

Unless Flogging Molly are the other headliner - they headlined Beautiful Days so not out the question.

Maybe Pretenders are subbing them, Echo subbing Interpol and Numan subbing Primal Scream....... however when Echo were booked for 2020 that never happened they were playing 3rd down

I am doing my normal Clashfinder - based on last years times, educated guesses, pot luck and actual info......

If you see any confirmed slots, let me know and I can update it but hopefully the festival will have the same set lists as last year online the week before so it can be spot on.

but do buy the programme on arrival anyway.

Good work, only thing to note at this early stage is that Beans on Toast said he'd be doing two sets in his Woodland takeover day.

That makes sense as I had  a spare slot originally. Thanks

Over 15 more acts and other entertainment to be announced over the next week they have just said........... 

Hopefully the one you know is something we can be excited by - not that the existing lineup is not great.

It's an act that has already been announced, but they're on a date you won't expect. 

I'll leave it at that.

Interesting, knowing Beans I have a feeling he may open the day with his Little Bee stuff for the families. That's the only reason I can think of for two sets.

Hot 8 Brass are down for the Thursday, according to their tour poster

I'm gonna guess Gilla Band will perform on the Thursday, because they start their European tour at the end of May, playing Birkenhead on the Friday and then Wide Awake Festival in London on Saturday. While Sunday is open for them, they are performing in Brussels on the Monday so instead of dashing back and forth from London to The Midlands and then heading back down to get to Belgium for the next day, it would give them more time to do Bearded on the Thursday and leave them ample time to get to Brussels over the next two days.

From Sleeper's Facebook last month: They'll be on Sunday

Gilla band are not playing. 

I assume it's this Girlband, who are also playing dot to dot festival the same weekend:

Ah OK, I didn't know about this Girlband and just thought Bearded were still referring to Gilla Band by their former name. 

This clears up my confusion.
