I think Kasabian ars just a standard sized booking for this festival.
Bloc Part on the Thursday would almost put me off it as I don't want to spend 4 days on it.
I've seen all 9 acts named before and some of them like NTB, Blossoms & Kasabian 10+ times, so very happy with the line up.
I find Bloc Party an odd Thursday headliner, not because they are not worthy of the top line but more that Thursday audience does seem to attract the youngest crowd with many older people doing the 3 day option.
Do young people like Bloc Party or even know who they are? I know thats a generalisation, I just thought they could have picked better options for the Thursday either a newer band or if an old act, one with a few rowdy bangers.
Not that I really care as I am old and doing all 4 days and know I will enjoy Bloc Party. Prety sure there are lots of kids with good taste who will appreciate Bloc Party but also feel they will do very little for any youngsters who just want to drink and have a good sing along to huge tunes while having a bit of a mosh.
